Abstract

The Swedish container port markets are analysed using the concept of captive and contestable hinterland and foreland. Using a freight transport planning tool, the Swedish national freight transport model Samgods, we identify the geographical markets of Swedish container ports and their market shares for the municipalities of Sweden. Results from the proposed method indicate that within the market segment, about half of municipalities in Sweden are captive, about a third is tied to the market-leading port. In the future, the market segment tends to be more captive, and the market-leading port will strengthen its position.
