Market Segmentation
By Function:
Transportation Management remains the market's anchor segment, accounting for 46% share in 2024 as AI-enabled technologies reshape fulfillment efficiency through predictive route planning and automated freight allocation. Value-added Services are growing fastest at 11.27% CAGR, driven by demand for integrated customs brokerage, digital insurance, and trade-compliance analytics delivered through unified dashboards.
By End Use:
Retail and E-commerce dominate with a 37% market share, fueled by surging online retail penetration and the high velocity of low-value parcel movements. As consumer delivery expectations tighten, omnichannel retailers turn to API-integrated freight platforms to manage both outbound and reverse logistics seamlessly. Meanwhile, Healthcare and Pharma are registering the fastest growth at 12.22% CAGR, underpinned by stricter traceability and temperature-control requirements for biologics and medical supplies.
By Deployment Mode:
Cloud deployments accounted for 66% share in 2024, supported by low infrastructure costs, multitenant scalability, and continuous feature updates. Hybrid cloud strategies are also rising, blending compliance needs with analytical automation. Increasing uptake among SMEs-fueled by affordable subscription models-positions cloud solutions as the industry's digital backbone.
By Firm Type:
Large enterprises lead with 54% market share due to complex global logistics networks requiring integrated digital orchestration. However, SMEs are growing rapidly at 9.40% CAGR through 2030, aided by low-code API onboarding, reduced cyber-insurance costs, and pre-built compliance solutions that make digital forwarding accessible to mid-sized shippers.
