Segment Analysis

  • By Type of Dangerous Goods

The Dangerous Goods Transportation market is further segmented based on the type of dangerous goods. Such Dangerous goods include explosives, gases, flammable liquids, flammable solids, toxic substances, infectious substances, radioactive materials, corrosive materials, and so forth. Every type of dangerous good has different transporting and handling needs, based on its distinct nature and hazard. For example, explosives must have special packaging and extreme precautions taken so that they will not explode while in transit. Gases should be either flammable or non-flammable, and therefore, they should be kept in containers which are rated to contain pressure and transported within applicable regulations to avoid leaking or explosion. The same applies to flammable liquids and solids, which require careful handling to avoid risk of combustion. Toxic and infectious substances require high safety measures to protect human health and the environment.
