預計到 2025 年,貨運市場規模將達到 5,722.5 億美元,到 2030 年將達到 7,408.5 億美元,年複合成長率為 5.3%。

儘管地緣政治緊張局勢加劇,供應鏈屢遭衝擊,但貨運量仍持續上升,這得益於數位化平台、高韌性的多式聯運網路以及持續的電子商務流動。對小包裹跨境包裹貨運的需求不斷成長,對溫控運力的持續投資,以及向近岸外包的結構性轉型,都在推動各大貿易航線的貨運量成長。其他影響因素包括技術應用加速、以即時視覺為核心的新型高階服務層級湧現,以及貨運代理商為尋求規模優勢而進行的整合。以DSV在2025年以159億美元收購DB Schenker為首的併購活動,充分展現了規模和數據密度如何支撐貨運代理市場的競爭地位。
亞洲創紀錄的線上消費持續推動小小包裹湧入北美市場。貨運代理商正將現有設施改造為小包裹分揀中心,整合海關預清關流程,並疊加預測性關稅計算工具,以消除購買環節的摩擦。如今,服務速度而非單純的成本已成為路線選擇的主要促進因素,承運商正在擴大每週跨太平洋特快專線的營運規模。諸如小包裹層級的同位素可視性和品牌退貨等增值功能,正幫助現有企業抵禦純粹的小包裹整合商的競爭,捍衛市場佔有率。
墨西哥、波蘭和土耳其的鄰近製造業正促使貨運量從遠距海運轉向更短的多式聯運。預計到2024年,美國墨之間的跨境卡車運輸需求將實現兩位數成長,這將刺激對簡化邊境清關軟體和保稅內陸港口的投資。精通海關的貨運代理能夠利用複雜的關稅制度獲利,而鐵路和公路聯運的綜合解決方案與海運相比,可將門到門運輸時間縮短35%。
泊位排隊時間延長、設備短缺、船期難以預測,導致運輸時間更加不穩定。與2023年相比,亞洲主要港口的平均停留時間增加了一倍以上,在幾條主要貿易航線上,設備重新部署現在需要額外18天。貨運代理商提前數週預訂貨櫃艙位,協商優先閘口窗口,並租用輔助支線船舶以繞過擁擠的樞紐港。 2025年初,亞歐航線的即期運價飆升了255%,迫使托運人重新審視其貨源,否則就只能承受更高的成本。
由於跨洋散貨運輸的每標準箱(TEU)運輸成本最低,海運在2024年仍維持了62%的貨運代理市場佔有率。大型船舶的部署、自動化碼頭的建設以及乾線支線網路的擴展,都使得艙位成本保持在較低水平,從而推動了海運業務的發展。儘管海運規模龐大,但其服務仍面臨瓶頸,一旦船期延誤,托運人就會傾向選擇鐵路或空運服務。因此,多式聯運解決方案(即貨運代理將海運、鐵路和公路運輸整合起來,以縮短亞歐航線2至4天的前置作業時間)的複合年成長率達到了6.4%。預計2024年歐亞走廊的鐵路貨運量將成長10.7%,進一步分散運輸風險。空運仍然主導著對時間要求嚴格的藥品、電子產品和時尚產品的運輸,隨著航線網路的重組,其運力正在逐步恢復。陸運可確保區域配送和最後一公里履約,但由於燃油額外費用和司機短缺推高了乾線貨運價格,其成本仍然較為敏感。能夠協調多式聯運路線的貨運代理商在所有貨運市場區域都能獲得更高的市場佔有率和更深的客戶留存率。
預計到2030年,多模態貨運市場規模將以6.4%的複合年成長率成長。整合式控制塔平台、統一報價引擎和整列火車包車服務提升了營運靈活性和利潤率。純粹的海運和空運專家現在正與多式聯運鐵路營運商合作,以防止客戶更換營運商。科技正發揮核心作用,實現海關放行數位化、貨櫃設施自動分配以及在單一控制面板上發佈到貨通知。市場領導報告稱,端到端的多式聯運合約可將客戶維繫提高22%,凸顯了貨運市場中編配的服務組合的黏性。
到2024年,大型企業將佔據貨運代理市場70%的佔有率,它們每年利用超過5萬個標準箱的競標量來授予與指數掛鉤的海運和空運合約。這些企業的採購部門要求採用統一的全球關鍵績效指標(KPI)和碳計量,這促使貨運代理在其營運資料之上建立分析層。過去,小型出口商缺乏議價能力,但如今,數位市場匯集了中小企業的需求,並將競標給承運商進行每日現貨採購,從而降低了12%的貨運支出。這種趨勢將推動中小企業在貨運代理市場實現6.6%的複合年成長率。貨運平台與中小企業的現金流週期相契合,提供即時報價、里程碑提醒和整合的貿易融資模組。
中小企業的參與也凸顯了合規要求,因為新手托運人容易申報貨物資訊不實,從而招致罰款。數位化單證工具透過標記限制物品和預先填寫標準表格,可將海關扣留率降低19%。貨運代理正透過將保險、退稅申請和電子發票等服務打包成訂閱套餐來實現收入多元化。雖然大型工業客戶仍然主導著重型計劃貨物和工廠搬遷業務,但中小企業在電子商務補貨和特色成品運輸方面也提供了新的成長動力。因此,隨著資源受限的出口商需求加速成長,貨運代理市場可能會逐漸呈現出更均衡的客戶組成。
亞太地區將在2024年以36%的營收佔有率引領全球貨運市場,並在2030年之前維持7.8%的複合年成長率。隨著品牌商對沖採購風險,製造業多元化發展至越南、印尼和印度將推動區域銷售量飆升。上海、深圳和新加坡等主要港口正大力投資自動化起重機和智慧閘門技術以縮短卡車週轉時間,但泊位利用率仍接近歷史最高水準。杜拜環球港務集團(DP World)預測,到2027年,亞太地區港口的總合吞吐量將達到20萬個標準箱,這進一步鞏固了該地區在全球供應鏈中的關鍵地位。
北美在全球貨運量中排名第二,這主要得益於美國強勁的消費需求和日益成長的近岸外包業務,預計到2024年,美國墨跨境貨運量將成長10%。對橫跨德克薩斯州和亞利桑那州的雙層貨櫃鐵路走廊的投資將加速遠距公路運輸向多式聯運的模式轉換,從而緩解卡車司機運力瓶頸。溫哥華和魯珀特王子港的加拿大門戶將擴大鐵路裝卸能力,以分流亞洲貨物,避免美國西海岸碼頭擁擠。
歐洲航運網路面臨許多挑戰,包括司機短缺、排放法規日益嚴格、邊境管制措施不統一。然而,對附加價值服務(尤其是藥品和高科技機械)的持續需求,確保了收入穩定。鹿特丹、漢堡和安特衛普等主要樞紐正在進行海關數位化改造,並實施岸電解決方案,以符合「適航55」目標。南美洲正受惠於「摩羯座BI」海上走廊的蓬勃發展,該走廊預計將於2027年建成,屆時南方共同市場內部的運輸成本將降低高達40%。中東正在擴建傑貝阿里港和阿卜杜拉國王港,從而搭建東西方貿易的橋樑。
The freight forwarding market is valued at USD 572.25 billion in 2025 and is forecast to reach USD 740.85 billion by 2030, expanding at a 5.3% CAGR.

The upward trajectory continues despite geopolitical tensions and repeated supply-chain shocks because digital platforms, resilient multimodal networks, and sustained e-commerce flows keep volumes intact. Heightened demand for parcel-sized cross-border shipments, steady investment in temperature-controlled capacity, and a structural pivot toward near-shoring all lift volumes in every major trade lane. Second-order effects include faster technology adoption, new premium service tiers built around real-time visibility, and an observed tilt toward consolidation as forwarders strive for scale advantages. M&A activity, spearheaded by DSV's USD 15.9 billion takeover of DB Schenker in 2025, illustrates how scale and data density now underpin competitive positioning in the freight forwarding market.
Record online spending in Asia continues to drive small-parcel flows toward North American consumers. Freight forwarders are repurposing existing facilities into parcel sortation hubs, integrating customs pre-clearance, and layering predictive duty-tax calculators to remove purchase friction. Service speed rather than simple cost now determines routing decisions, encouraging carriers to expand weekly sailings on trans-Pacific express lanes. Value-added features, such as isotopic parcel-level visibility and branded returns, help incumbents defend share against pure-play parcel integrators.
Proximity manufacturing in Mexico, Poland, and Turkiye pulls freight volumes from long-haul ocean to shorter multimodal corridors. Cross-border truckload demand on the US-Mexico lane grew double digits in 2024, stimulating investments in streamlined border-clearance software and bonded inland ports. Forwarders with customs brokerage depth monetize complex tariff regimes, while integrated rail-truck solutions shorten door-to-door time by 35% compared with ocean alternatives.
Extended berth queues, equipment shortages, and unpredictable sailing schedules inflate transit variability. Average dwell time at major Asian ports more than doubled versus 2023, and equipment repositioning now adds an 18-day buffer on several head-haul trades. Forwarders pre-book container slots weeks ahead, negotiate priority gate windows, and charter supplemental feeders to bypass gridlocked hubs. Spot rates on Asia-Europe lanes spiked 255% in early 2025, forcing shippers to rebalance sourcing or absorb cost surges.
Other drivers and restraints analyzed in the detailed report include:
For complete list of drivers and restraints, kindly check the Table Of Contents.
Ocean freight retained a 62% freight forwarding market share in 2024 because it offers the lowest cost per TEU for high-volume goods moving across oceans. The segment benefits from megavessel deployments, automated terminals, and expanded mainline-feeder networks that keep slot costs low. Despite its scale, ocean services face chokepoints, motivating shippers to add rail or air legs when schedule integrity falters. Multimodal solutions therefore log a 6.4% CAGR, as forwarders bundle ocean, rail, and road to shave lead times by two to four days on Asia-Europe lanes. Rail volumes on the Eurasian corridor climbed 10.7% in 2024 and continue to diversify routing risk. Air forwarding still dominates time-critical pharma, electronics, and fashion drops, with capacity rebounding as belly-hold networks rebuild. Road forwarding secures regional distribution and last-mile fulfilment but remains cost-sensitive because fuel surcharges and driver scarcity inflate line-haul rates. Forwarders that orchestrate mode-agnostic routing enjoy higher wallet share and deeper client lock-in across every freight forwarding market region.
The freight forwarding market size for multimodal services is forecast to expand at a CAGR of 6.4% by 2030. Integrated control-tower platforms, unified quoting engines, and block-train charters enhance operational agility and margin retention. Pure ocean or air specialists now partner with intermodal rail operators to keep customers from switching providers. Technology that digitises customs hand-offs, auto-allocates container equipment, and releases arrival notifications in a single dashboard plays a central role. Market leaders report that end-to-end multimodal contracts lift client retention by 22%, highlighting the stickiness of an orchestrated service bundle in the freight forwarding market.
Large enterprises captured 70% of the freight forwarding market size in 2024, leveraging yearly tender volumes above 50,000 TEUs to lock in index-linked ocean and air contracts. Their procurement departments demand unified global KPIs and carbon accounting, driving forwarders to build analytics layers atop operational data. Smaller exporters historically lacked negotiating power, but digital marketplaces now aggregate SME demand and auction it to carriers in daily spot buys, cutting freight spends by 12%. This dynamic pushes the SME slice of the freight forwarding market to a 6.6% CAGR. Freight platforms offer instant quotes, milestone alerts, and integrated trade-finance modules that align with SME cash-flow cycles.
SME participation also sharpens compliance needs because novice shippers may misdeclare cargo, inviting fines. Digital documentation wizards flag restricted commodities and pre-populate standard forms, reducing customs holds by 19%. Forwarders diversify revenue by bundling insurance, duty-drawback filing, and e-invoicing into subscription tiers. Large industrial clients still dominate heavyweight project cargo and plant relocation work, but the incremental growth momentum lies with SMEs shipping e-commerce replenishment and niche finished goods. The freight forwarding market will therefore exhibit a progressively balanced customer portfolio as demand from resource-constrained exporters accelerates.
The Freight Forwarding Market Report is Segmented by Mode of Transport (Air Freight Forwarding, Ocean Freight Forwarding, and More), by Enterprise Size (Small & Medium Enterprises, and More), by Forwarder Model (Traditional Asset-Light Forwarders, and More), by End-User Industry (Industrial and Manufacturing, and More) and Geography (North America, Europe, and More). The Market Forecasts are Provided in Terms of Value (USD).
Asia-Pacific led the freight forwarding market with a 36% revenue share in 2024 while expanding at a 7.8% CAGR through 2030. Manufacturing diversification into Vietnam, Indonesia, and India spikes regional volumes as brands hedge sourcing risk. Major ports in Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Singapore invest heavily in automated cranes and smart-gate technology that shortens truck turnaround times, yet berth utilizations still hover near record highs. DP World expects Asia-Pacific ports collectively to handle 200,000 TEUs annually by 2027, affirming the region's anchoring role in global supply chains.
North America ranks second in the freight forwarding market, bolstered by the United States' strong consumer demand and ongoing near-shoring that boosts US-Mexico cross-border traffic by 10% in 2024. Railroad investments in double-stack corridors across Texas and Arizona accelerate modal shift from long-haul truck to intermodal, easing driver-capacity bottlenecks. Canadian gateways in Vancouver and Prince Rupert expand rail-mount capacity to redirect Asia cargo away from crowded US West Coast terminals.
Europe's network faces compounded challenges from driver shortages, stringent emissions mandates, and patchwork border regulations. However, sustained demand for value-added services, especially in pharma and high-tech machinery, preserves revenue. Leading hubs in Rotterdam, Hamburg, and Antwerp digitize customs and deploy shore-power solutions to comply with the Fit-for-55 goals. Beyond the tri-continent core, South America grows rapidly on the back of the Capricorn BI oceanic Corridor, which promises to cut intra-Mercosur transit costs by up to 40% once completed in 2027. The Middle East expands Jebel Ali and King Abdullah Port to position itself as a bridging node between East-West trade, while African corridors benefit from Chinese-financed rail revamps that unlock inland commodity flows.
