Methodology and sourcing behind the figures shown above.

Less-than-truckload (LTL) freight

Primary recent estimates for the US LTL market were used as the basis for a North America proxy because the US comprises the vast majority of regional LTL volume. Mordor Intelligence reports a US market size of USD 118.68 billion in 2026 with a 4.08% CAGR (2026–2031). IBISWorld provides a lower US industry revenue figure ($96.9 billion in 2026), indicating scope/methodology differences; Strategic Market Research gives a global LTL figure (USD 81.3 billion in 2024) and higher CAGR assumptions. Given the dominance of the US within North America, Mordor’s 2026 US estimate was taken as the best-supported proxy for North America and its 4.08% CAGR used for near-term growth potential.

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.

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).

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.
