The increased wealth in Peru from the continued growth of the mining sector and the wider economy will see an attendant growth in private consumption in the country as the consumer power of the growing middle class increases. Despite our forecast for a notable slowdown in headline growth, we expect private consumption will remain a relativ e bright spot for the economy. T his will drive demand for all freight modes, however air freight will, in our view, see the greatest growth as the economy strengthens and purchasing power rises, while road will continue to dominate the mix as the delivery of imported consumer goods and internet purchases soars.
Economic growth in Peru will improve modestly in 2015, driven by a recovery in the construction sector following a sharp deceleration in 2014. However, ongoing weakness in the mining sector will ensure that headline economic growth continues to trend lower in the coming years as compared with the five-year average of 5.8%.

Household spending will accelerate modestly in 2015, as stronger construction activity, a key employment generator, contributes to lower unemployment. Moreover, cheap fuel imports will also be a tailwind for the Peruvian consumer this year. We therefore expect road freight is still comfortably the largest freight mode in Peru and, at 151.4mn tonnes over 2015, will see annual growth of almost 2%.
Peru's rail freight sector is largely reliant on the mining sector, in particular copper concentrates. However, there are other goods, earmarked for domestic use rather than exports, which are also transported by rail, such as coal and various agricultural products. However, owing to declining demand for copper, we believe rail freight will see a contraction over 2015 of -4.7%, to 7.2mn tonnes.
One of the main growth drivers for the airfreight sector, which will see the greatest uptick in tonnage over 2015 out of all the freight modes is the strong demand for consumer electronics in Peru. Our...
