Competitive Labor Costs and a Large Workforce Support High-Volume Apparel Production

Bangladesh’s industrial landscape has expanded rapidly over the past decade, driving significant growth in trucking demand as rising manufacturing output, large-scale construction, and expanding regional trade increase the movement of raw materials, intermediate goods, and finished products across key economic corridors. The development of economic zones, industrial parks, and logistics hubs—along with growing clusters of factories in Gazipur, Narayanganj, Chattogram, Cumilla, and Rajshahi—has sharply increased inter-district cargo flows, prompting fleet owners to diversify and scale capacity. This momentum is reinforced by major infrastructure improvements such as the Padma Bridge and upgraded national highways, which have enhanced connectivity, reduced travel time, and enabled manufacturers to widen distribution networks. At the same time, rapid urbanization in cities like Dhaka, Chattogram, Gazipur, and Sylhet continues to fuel domestic consumption, boosting demand for frequent deliveries of consumer goods, construction materials, and essentials. Recent briefings—from the Bangladesh Planning Commission (March 2024), Ministry of Industries (August 2024), and BAFFA (January 2025)—collectively highlight rising freight movement, growing investment in manufacturing, and improved logistics efficiency. Together, these structural shifts make growing domestic trade and industrialization a powerful force shaping Bangladesh’s trucking market.

Key Findings of the Study

Expansion of Road Infrastructure

Bangladesh’s road infrastructure has undergone significant improvement over the past decade, fundamentally enhancing the efficiency, reliability, and performance of the trucking sector. Major highways, expressways, and bridge networks—most notably the Padma Bridge—have reduced travel times, minimized congestion, and enabled uninterrupted freight movement across key industrial corridors linking Dhaka, Chattogram, Khulna, Sylhet, and Rajshahi. These enhancements allow trucking operators to complete more trips in shorter periods, lower operating costs, optimize route planning, and increase fleet utilization. Improved access between the central and southwestern regions has accelerated distribution of agricultural, industrial, and construction goods, while the modernization of regional and feeder roads strengthens connectivity for agro-based industries by enabling faster delivery of perishables. Government-led development of economic corridors and improved linkages to major seaports have further supported export and import logistics. Recent updates underscore the impact: in July 2024, the RHD reported that upgrades to the Dhaka–Chattogram Highway cut freight transit time by nearly one-third; in October 2024, new expressway and regional connectivity projects were highlighted as key to reducing trade-route bottlenecks; and in January 2025, the BBA noted that the Padma Bridge had significantly increased freight movement and trucking demand across 21 southwestern districts. Collectively, these sustained advancements position road infrastructure expansion as a central driver of Bangladesh’s trucking market growth.
