According to a market research report published by Extrapolate, the global freight forwarding market was valued at US$180.4 billion in 2021 and is expected to reach US$251.1 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 5.1% during the forecast period.
Growth in the freight forwarding market is a function of macroeconomic conditions and is largely determined by the strength of international trade. According to the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), global trade was worth a record US$32 trillion in 2022, but amid deteriorating economic conditions and rising uncertainties, growth turned negative in the second half of the year and continued to stagnate in 2023.
As international trade fluctuates, so does the demand for integrated transport services provided by freight forwarders. As global trade slows and margins shrink, freight forwarders are increasing their adoption of digital solutions and technological advancements to survive.
Freight forwarders are using technology to streamline operations and provide more efficient, cost-effective services, including shipment tracking software, automated customs clearance, and real-time updates to customers.
