Features of the transport services market functioning during martial arts

The purpose of the article is to study the specifics of the functioning of the transport services market under martial law to determine the impact of military actions on the demand and supply of transport services and changes in logistics chains, as well as to assess the adaptation of transport companies to new conditions. The study’s relevance is due to the importance of ensuring the stable functioning of the transport infrastructure in emergencies. It requires further development of theoretical and practical recommendations to support the stable functioning of the transport services market under martial law, optimize transport flows, and ensure transport safety. The article examines the features of the functioning of the transport services market under martial law, which are determined by the instability of the economic situation, increased risks, and variability of demand. It is determined that martial law significantly affects logistics chains, infrastructure, dynamics of demand for transportation, and their geographical structure. The paper focuses on key problems, including the destruction of transport infrastructure, disruptions in the supply of material resources, changes in freight and passenger flows, and reduction in international transportation. The main challenges and restrictions affecting the entire functioning of the transport services market during martial law are systematized by type of transport. The leading indicators of the functioning of the transport services market are analyzed, as well as the adaptation of the transport sector to new challenges, which include route optimization, reorientation to alternative modes of transport, and the introduction of digital technologies to improve logistics efficiency. Changes in the structure of demand for transport services are studied: the growth of the importance of humanitarian aid transportation, military cargo, and domestic transportation in conditions of limited access to international markets. Factors influencing the functioning of the transport services market of Ukraine during the war are identified. The consequences for business are also considered: a reduction in the volume of commercial transportation, the need for rapid adaptation to changes, and the growing role of small and medium-sized businesses in supporting local logistics networks. Special attention is paid to the prospects for developing the transport services market after the end of martial law. The need for infrastructure modernization, investment attraction, and improvement of state support mechanisms is emphasized. Conclusions are drawn regarding the importance of international cooperation in restoring logistics connections and integration into global transport systems.
