Methodology and sourcing behind the figures shown above.

Dedicated Contract Carriage

Armstrong & Associates reports U.S. Dedicated Contract Carriage (DCC) gross revenue of $32.0B in 2025 and notes the U.S. 3PL market grew 5.0% year-over-year to $323.4B. Using those primary figures, and considering DCC’s asset-based, domestic-transport focus, the near-term growth potential is estimated to align with the U.S. 3PL sector (~5% CAGR). Global 3PL reports (9–10% CAGR) indicate stronger growth in digital, warehousing and APAC-driven segments, suggesting modest upside but supporting the baseline U.S. DCC estimate.

Freight marketplace and carrier network

Estimates derived from recent industry reports for digital freight matching / digital freight brokerage (comparable to freight marketplaces and carrier networks). Reported 2024–2025 market values range from about USD 3.8–4.9 billion and multi-year forecasts vary (CAGRs reported from ~5.8% to ~20.2%). I selected a mid-point current market size (~USD 4.0B) and a conservative-to-ambitious growth potential (≈15% CAGR) to reflect the consensus range across sources and the category’s strong network effects and technology adoption tailwinds.

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.

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.

Third-party logistics and managed transportation

Estimated global 3PL/managed-transportation market size based on multiple market reports showing 2025/2026 global values in the $1.24–1.31 trillion range and a U.S. 3PL market of $323.4B (2025). Reported CAGRs range ~7.8–9.7%; I selected 9.2% as a central estimate aligned with several forecasts for 2026–2033/34.
