According to industry sources, the penetration of U.S Freight brokerage in the total freight market is significantly increasing. The freight brokerage market size will grow by USD 41.47 billion during 2020-2024. The market’s growth momentum will accelerate during the forecast period because of the steady increase in year-over-year growth. This growth is majorly attributed to the growing demand for transportation and logistics services from various end-user industries, including the pharmaceutical, e-commerce, FMCG, automotive, and manufacturing sectors. This presents us with an opportunity to tap this uncontested market and offer our solution via our well-integrated business model.
As the transportation industry is becoming more technology-driven, great efforts are being undertaken towards sustainability. Global passenger demand is on the rise both in mature and emerging markets, where the population is becoming increasingly affluent and mobile. In terms of cargo transportation, trade relations between China, North America, and the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) are forecast to drive up traffic demand over the coming years. While cargo aircraft are often used to transport mail, animals, and agricultural items, bulk products are typically carried by railways, trucks, and ships.
