Norfolk Southern's Comment on Competition and Industry Peers
There is continuing strong competition among rail, water, and highway carriers.
Price is usually only one factor of importance as shippers and receivers choose
a transport mode and specific hauling company. Inventory carrying costs, service
reliability, ease of handling, and the desire to avoid loss and damage during
transit are also important considerations, especially for higher-valued finished
goods, machinery, and consumer products. Even for raw materials, semi-finished
goods, and work-in-progress, users are increasingly sensitive to transport arrangements
that minimize problems at successive production stages.
Our primary rail competitor is CSX Corporation; both railroads operate throughout
much of the same territory. Other railroads also operate in parts of the territory.
We also compete with motor carriers, water carriers, and with shippers who have
the additional options of handling their own goods in private carriage, sourcing
products from different geographic areas, and using substitute products.
Certain marketing strategies among railroads and between railroads and motor
carriers enable railroads to compete more effectively in specific markets
Company's competitiveness improved within Overall company, with revenue growth of 11.41 % and its market share increased to approx. 2.91 %. << More on NSC Market Share.
