Dublin, Oct. 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Digital Freight Forwarding - Global Strategic Business Report" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets's offering.
The global market for Digital Freight Forwarding was valued at US$33.6 Billion in 2024 and is projected to reach US$94.8 Billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 18.8% from 2024 to 2030. This comprehensive report provides an in-depth analysis of market trends, drivers, and forecasts, helping you make informed business decisions.

Digital freight forwarding refers to the application of digital platforms and automation technologies to streamline the process of shipping goods across borders. These platforms enable real-time quoting, booking, tracking, documentation, and payment for international shipments, reducing reliance on manual processes and paper-based systems.
Traditional freight forwarding involves coordination across multiple stakeholders including carriers, customs agents, and logistics providers. Digital platforms reduce delays and communication gaps by integrating data from different sources into a centralized dashboard. This shift is helping improve shipment visibility, reduce human error, and lower overall transaction costs for shippers and forwarders alike.

What Is Driving Growth in the Digital Freight Forwarding Market?
Growth in the digital freight forwarding market is driven by several factors related to cross-border trade growth, rising demand for real-time visibility, and pressure to reduce logistics overhead. The expansion of global e-commerce and rising shipment volumes are forcing logistics providers to adopt more scalable and efficient systems.
Technology investments in automation, API integration, and digital payment systems are supporting the transition from manual forwarding to platform-led operations. As shippers demand greater transparency, cost predictability, and delivery reliability, digital freight forwarders are gaining preference for both small and large consignments. Increased focus on data-driven logistics, trade compliance, and global supply chain coordination continues to support market expansion.
What Technologies Are Driving Efficiency and Transparency in Freight Workflows?
Digital freight forwarders use a combination of cloud-based transportation management systems, application programming interfaces (APIs), artificial intelligence, and data analytics to optimize routes, automate bookings, and manage exceptions. Some platforms include predictive tools for demand forecasting and dynamic pricing.
Smart document processing tools simplify bill of lading generation, customs declarations, and trade compliance checks. Machine learning algorithms help identify bottlenecks and suggest alternative shipping methods or carriers based on historical data. Integration with port, customs, and carrier systems ensures improved synchronization of goods movement and documentation flow.
Where Is Market Adoption Increasing Across Trade Routes and Shipper Segments?
Adoption is gaining momentum in cross-border e-commerce, SME exporters, and freight forwarding intermediaries seeking to improve service efficiency. High-volume trade lanes between Asia, Europe, and North America are witnessing early adoption of platform-based freight solutions, particularly for air and ocean cargo.
Logistics providers offering value-added services, such as customs brokerage or warehouse integration, are increasingly partnering with digital platforms to expand service reach. In emerging markets, digital freight forwarding is helping small exporters gain access to competitive shipping rates, track goods more easily, and navigate trade documentation with greater accuracy.
