Methodology and sourcing behind the figures shown above.

Cross-border freight and customs clearance

Estimated North America (U.S./Canada/Mexico) cross-border freight & customs segment by applying the reported global cross-border logistics market size (USD 78.7B, 2024) to the cited North America share (43.65%), yielding ~USD 34.3B. Growth estimate (CAGR ~5.5%) is a midpoint reflection of reported global cross-border logistics CAGR (3.9%) and faster customs-brokerage-specific projections (≈6.4%), given the segment’s mix of transportation and customs services.

Intermodal and rail freight

Estimate based on published intermodal market sizing and regional share plus broader rail freight growth signals. Persistence Market Research values the global intermodal market at US$52.4B (2025) and reports North America as the largest regional share (~36%), implying ~US$18.9B for North American intermodal (rail-to-truck, including drayage/last‑mile services). Oliver Wyman identifies incremental revenue opportunities in medium-haul/interchange (e.g., ~$1.7B potential), supporting upside within the segment. Broader rail‑freight reports (Mordor/FactMR) show global rail freight market size near the low‑hundreds of billions with CAGRs around 4.5%–4.5–4.48%; taking intermodal-specific growth (Persistence 7.2% CAGR) and broader rail growth into account yields a mid‑range estimated CAGR of ~6% for the North American intermodal + drayage segment.

Cold chain logistics

Used recent market reports in the search results. Fortune Business Insights provides a 2026 global market size of USD 402.32 billion with a 14.15% CAGR (2026–2034). Precedence Research shows a similar large global base (~USD 418.81B in 2025) and comparable high CAGR, while Mordor Intelligence gives a US-specific size (USD 97.13B in 2026) with a lower US CAGR (6.63%). The estimate reflects the global market figure (Fortune) corroborated by Precedence, with acknowledgement of a lower-growth US submarket per Mordor.

Final mile delivery

Estimates draw on multiple market reports in the provided results. Market Research Future gives a 2024–2025 baseline of $140.5B / $151B (CAGR 7.5%); other reports show higher 2025 values ($185.8B) and CAGRs (~10%). A separate autonomous-last-mile segment shows much faster growth (~26.8%) and indicates upside. I selected a conservative current-market estimate of $151B (2025) and a consensus-growth CAGR of 8.4% aligned with the mid-range of cited forecasts.

Project logistics and rollout coordination

Primary market estimates from Fact.MR and Spherical Insights define the global project logistics market in the low‑to‑mid hundreds of billions USD (Fact.MR: USD 453.8B in 2026; Spherical: USD 423.85B in 2024) with consistent mid‑single‑digit CAGRs (~5.7%). Alternative sources (MRFR, Data Insights) report much smaller figures (USD 9.28B; USD 56.7B) that appear to reflect narrower service or regional scopes. Based on the larger, global market definitions in Fact.MR and Spherical Insights, I estimate the addressable market at ~USD 454 billion and growth potential at ~5.7% CAGR.
