Methodology and sourcing behind the figures and links shown above.
Full truckload freight
Primary estimate uses Mordor Intelligence's United States Full-Truck-Load market sizing: USD 448.65 billion (2025) and a 3.34% CAGR (2026–2031). Supporting context: MRFR provides a broader global freight-trucking market size (USD 3,232.28 billion in 2024, 4.35% CAGR) and IBISWorld reports US truckload industry revenue of USD 300.1 billion (2026). Mordor's US FTL figure is used as the primary market-size source and its CAGR as the growth-potential estimate; MRFR and IBISWorld are cited for global context and secondary validation.
Automotive logistics
Used recent industry reports in searchResults. The Business Research Company reports a 2025 market size of USD 306.27 billion and projects ~8.3% CAGR to 2030; other reports (Precedence, Fact.MR, GMI) report 2025 market sizes between ~249–366 Bn and CAGRs of ~7.3–8.29%, supporting an estimated market size ~USD 306.3B and growth potential ≈8.3% CAGR.
- Automotive Logistics market size has reached to $306.27 billion in 2025 • Expected to grow to $458.47 billion in 2030 at a CAGR of 8.3%.
- projected to grow from USD 366.84 billion in 2025 to USD 813.84 billion by 2035, registering a CAGR of 8.29%.
- The global automotive logistics market size was valued at USD 286.8 billion in 2025.
- Base Value(2025): 249.20 Bn; CAGR (2026 - 2036): 8.10%.
Retail replenishment
Primary sources (Fact.MR and TrendX Insights) report a replenishment/replenishment-platforms market around USD 4.09–4.1 billion (2025) with projected CAGRs near 10.8–11.1%. I adopt the consensus 2025 market size of ~USD 4.1 billion and round the growth potential to an 11.0% CAGR. QKS Group reports a higher RFR CAGR (19.96%) but does not provide a base size in the results and appears to be an outlier versus the two market-sizing sources used as primary evidence.
Full truckload (dry van)
Estimate derived from Persistence Market Research’s 2025 global freight trucking value (US$2.74T) and segment shares: North America ~36% and dry‑van/box ~44%. Allocated 85% of North America to the U.S., then applied a conservative industry assumption that ~60% of dry‑van revenue is full‑truckload (asset‑based 53' van) to arrive at ~US$221.5B. Growth potential uses PMR’s 2025–2032 freight trucking CAGR (3.9%); near‑term rate volatility (Arrive, RXO) could cause cyclical rate-driven revenue variation but long‑run volume CAGR aligns with PMR.
- Global freight trucking market size is likely US$2.74 Tn in 2025; CAGR 3.9% (2025–2032).
- Leading Region: North America, 36% market share in 2025.
- Dry van & box trucks are estimated to hold the largest revenue share at approximately 44% in 2025.
- Van spot rates will reach a peak year-over-year growth rate of 6% in Q4 2026.
- Truckload spot rates increased 32.4% year-over-year in Q2.
