Demand for GATX Corporation’s products and services is primarily influenced by global economic activity and evolving industry demands rather than traditional seasonal patterns. Factors that can impact demand include overall macroeconomic conditions, market conditions within its customers' businesses, fluctuations in the price and demand for commodities, changes in railroad operations and efficiency, and the availability of alternative transportation modes. Increasing global trade and the complexity of supply chains generally drive a sustained need for efficient railcar leasing solutions. Slower economic growth can affect railcar fleet planning.
