Methodology and sourcing behind the figures shown above.

Logistics and cold chain management

Estimate reflects global cold-chain logistics market figures from multiple reports in the provided searchResults. Fortune Business Insights reports the cold chain logistics market at USD 360.81B (2025) with a 14.15% CAGR (2026–2034); Precedence Research and Mordor Intelligence provide corroborating higher-end global and US-level figures and MarketsandMarkets supplies growth data for the monitoring subsegment. I used Fortune’s global logistics figure and its CAGR as the representative estimate for the logistics and cold chain management segment.

Time-critical and event logistics

Sources in the search results report the global event logistics market at roughly USD 76–78 billion (2024–2025) with CAGRs ~5.5–6.3%. I treated time-critical/same-day event logistics as a focused subset (roughly 25–35% of total transportation-heavy event logistics) and applied a modest premium to growth (higher adoption of expedited, tech-enabled and last‑mile services) to estimate a market size of about USD 25B and a CAGR ~7%.

Oversize and heavy-haul transport

Primary estimate uses The Business Research Company (oversized cargo transportation) which reports a global services market of ~$211.6B (2025) and projects ~5.3% CAGR to 2030. Cross-checked with heavy-haul truck equipment market (~$31.9B, 2024) and US specialized freight revenues (~$72.4B, 2026) to contextualize services vs. equipment within the broader freight trucking market (global ~USD 2.7T in 2025).

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).

National full-truckload and LTL freight

Estimated by combining US full-truckload (FTL) market value (~$800B per industry source) with US LTL market estimates (≈$96–119B from IBISWorld and Mordor). Growth potential uses recent reported LTL CAGRs (~4.08%–4.13%) and broader freight-trucking CAGR (~4.2%) to produce a blended, near‑term CAGR of ~4.1%.
