Abstract(s)
Durante os anos de 2020 e 2021, o Mundo foi confrontado com uma situação nunca vista na história
anteriormente, uma pandemia que acabou por fazer com que o mundo parasse afetando assim em
todos os sentidos, tanto a nível pessoal, social como em termos económicos, embora alguns setores
económicos tenham sido mais afetados do que outros. O principal objetivo deste estudo passa por
analisar se a pandemia Covid-19 afetou, em termos económicos e financeiros, as empresas do setor de
transporte de mercadorias. Assim, pretende-se fazer uma análise, em termos económicos e financeiros,
às empresas deste setor de atividade, com o fim de poder analisar o impacto que a pandemia causou.
Para este efeito, foi recorrido o uso de indicadores de performance, tais como o return on rquity (ROE),
o retur non assets (ROA) e o economic value added (EVA) para a determinação da análise dos
resultados obtidos. A análise foi realizada com base nos últimos 7 anos, entre 2016 e 2022. Para
completar os resultados do estudo, foi realizado um inquérito, por questionário, às empresas
portuguesas compreendidas no CAE 49410, de forma a compreender se a referida pandemia causou
alguns efeitos nestas empresas para além dos efeitos económicos, tais como: criação/despedimentos
nos postos de trabalho, deslocalização das empresas, diversificação da atividade, modelo de atuação
no mercado, entre outros. As conclusões finais do estudo, ao contrário do que foi verificado em outros
setores de atividade, revelam que a pandemia nas empresas do setor de transporte de mercadorias
causou, geralmente, um impacto positivo, sendo que houve um destaque maior na região do Alentejo.
Verificou-se ainda que, as microempresas continuaram mesmo apôs a pandemia com uma maior
dificuldade na obtenção de lucro em comparação com as restantes dimensões.
During the years 2020 and 2021, the world was confronted with a situation never seen before in history, a pandemic that ended up bringing the world to a standstill, affecting it in every way, both on a personal and social level and in economic terms, although some economic sectors were more affected than others. The main objective of this study is to analyze whether the Covid-19 pandemic has affected companies in the freight transport sector in economic and financial terms. The aim is to carry out an economic and financial analysis of companies in this sector of activity, to analyze the impact that the pandemic has had. To this end, performance indicators such as Return on Equity (ROE), Return on Assets (ROA) and Economic Value Added (EVA) were used to determine the analysis of the results obtained. The analysis was carried out based on the last 7 years, between 2016 and 2022, to answer the main research question: “The COVID19 pandemic has affected companies in the freight transport sector in economic and financial terms?”. To complete the results of the study, a questionnaire survey was also carried out with Portuguese companies in CAE 49410, to understand whether the pandemic has caused any effects on these companies beyond the economic effects, such as: job creation/layoffs, relocation of companies, diversification of activity, operating model in the market, among others. The final conclusions of the study are that the pandemic has generally had a positive impact on companies in the freight transport sector, with a greater impact in the Alentejo region. It was also found that micro- enterprises continued to have greater difficulty in making a profit even after the pandemic compared to the other sizes.
