Travel and Transportation Payment Practices: Industry Scores Jump 8.5 Points from 2020 to 2025
The Comparison
Here's a direct comparison of payment performance within the Travel and Transportation sector:

- Average payment score: 64.9 out of 100
- 2025:

- Average payment score: 73.4 out of 100
What This Means
The increase from 64.9 to 73.4 demonstrates a notable improvement in payment behavior within the sector, though it's important to note the smaller sample size in 2025 might skew the results slightly higher; regardless, the data suggests a genuine shift towards quicker, more reliable payments. However, the 2025 average of 73.4 indicates considerable room for further improvement, as companies still struggle to consistently achieve optimal payment performance; this may be due to factors like inconsistent demand cycles in the sector.
