State of Industry Survey 2026
The State of the Industry survey captures the views of more than 200 senior leaders from across the public and private sectors and organisations of all sizes. The survey asks a number of questions around:
- Confidence in future growth of the transport technology sector
- The biggest barrier to growth for the sector
- The biggest opportunity for growth for the sector
- What, if anything is keeping you awake at night
Headline Results
The survey reveals that:
- Confidence in growth remains strong, with 62% of respondents saying they were either “really” or “quite” confident about growth over the coming year. Confidence was higher in the private sector (65%) than in the public sector (58%).
- Access to funding and the general economic climate were identified as the single biggest barrier to growth. This concern was shared consistently across public and private organisations and across all business sizes.
- Opportunities differ by sector. Public sector respondents most frequently identified integrating different modes of transport as the biggest opportunity in the year ahead (33%). In contrast, private sector respondents highlighted the growth of AI and automation (27%) and the digitalisation of transport services (23%).
