Methodology and sourcing behind the figures shown above.

International Forwarding and Customs Brokerage

Primary estimate uses the International Freight Forwarding market sizing (which explicitly includes customs brokerage services) as the best match to “International Forwarding and Customs Brokerage.” FutureMarketInsights reports USD 122.4B (2025) for international freight forwarding and a 4.5% CAGR; standalone customs-brokerage reports (MRFR, Verified Market Reports) show ~USD 26–28B market sizes with higher CAGRs (~6.4%), indicating customs brokerage is a sizable subsegment growing faster than freight forwarding. Given scope (forwarding + brokerage) and relative weights, the combined segment is estimated at ~USD 122.4B with a ~4.5% CAGR.

Third-party logistics (3PL)

Primary evidence: Armstrong & Associates’ global 3PL revenue estimate for 2025 (~USD 1,300.6 billion) and Fortune Business Insights’ 2025 global market estimate (~USD 1,238.74 billion) with an explicit projected CAGR of 9.7% (2026–2034). Additional industry reports (MarketResearchFuture, Fact.MR) report similar-sized markets (~1.18–1.28 trillion range) and CAGRs in the ~7.6–8.8% range, supporting a high-single-digit to low-double-digit CAGR; chosen growth estimate uses Fortune’s published 9.7% CAGR and Armstrong’s global size as the basis for the market-size figure.

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.

Supply chain visibility and orchestration

Primary estimate uses the Market Research Future supply chain visibility software report, which explicitly cites a 2024 market size of about $3.17B and a 10.79% CAGR (2025–2035). MarketResearchIntellect (via LinkedIn) provides a nearby estimate ($2.51B in 2025, 14% CAGR) and Fortune Business Insights reports the broader supply chain management market ($29.34B in 2025, ~10.4% CAGR), both used to contextualize the visibility/orchestration segment and corroborate growth expectations.

Customs, Trade Compliance and Cargo Insurance

Estimate anchored to cargo/logistics insurance data in the search results. MarketResearchFuture reports USD 55.6B (2024) and a ~4.32% CAGR; Spherical Insights reports USD 52.8B (2023) and 4.56% CAGR; Reanin reports a broader logistics insurance figure (USD 74.22B, 2025) and 3.4% CAGR. I used the MRFR 2024 value as the primary anchor and a blended CAGR (~4.5%). Search results do not provide a combined market figure for customs and trade‑compliance services, so the estimate reflects the cargo/logistics insurance segment only.
