Methodology and sourcing behind the figures shown above.

Air freight forwarding

Primary estimate based on Mordor Intelligence’s air freight forwarding report (USD 99.68B market size in 2026 and 4.06% CAGR for 2026–2031). Alternative industry estimates (Spherical Insights, MRFR) report similar magnitude and slightly higher CAGRs (~5%), used as sensitivity context.

Bonded warehousing and customs compliance

Estimated bonded warehousing & customs compliance as a specialized subset of global warehousing. Used MRFR global warehousing market (USD 275.55B in 2024) as the base and applied a conservative 4% share to reflect the niche nature of bonded/customs services (~USD 11B). CAGR set slightly above broad warehousing growth (MRFR 5.71%) and in line with e-commerce/regionals (Mordor 6.08%), reflecting rising cross-border e-commerce, free-trade zones, and greater demand for customs-compliance services.

Port drayage and intermodal logistics

Primary estimate uses global intermodal transport market sizing (US$52.4B in 2025) as representative for combined port drayage + intermodal logistics. Container drayage (global US$18.9B in 2024) represents the port drayage subset; US drayage was ~US$6.5B (2022). Persistence’s intermodal CAGR (7.2% through 2032) is used as the growth potential; Fact.MR provides a close corroborating intermodal valuation (~US$54B).

Medical logistics

Used published market sizes for adjacent markets (global healthcare 3PL and pharmaceutical logistics) as upper bounds, then estimated medical logistics (clinical-sample transport, prescriptions, STAT/last-mile hospital deliveries) as a subset (~10%–11%) of global healthcare 3PL. Chose CAGR within the range reported for healthcare 3PL/pharma logistics (7.5%–9.3%), selecting 8.5% as a reasonable mid-point for the medical-logistics niche.

Truckload and less-than-truckload transportation

Primary basis: Mordor Intelligence’s US LTL market size (2026 USD 118.68B) and its 4.08% CAGR (2026–2031). Used TTNews LTL share (10–15% of industry volume) to scale LTL to the broader truck freight market (midpoint 12.5% used), yielding an estimated North American combined truckload+LTL market ≈ USD 949.4B for 2026. Combined CAGR estimated at ~3.9%, blending Mordor’s LTL CAGR (4.08%) with expected modest truckload volume growth and rate-driven revenue increases reflected in industry commentary.
