Key Growth Drivers

The market’s expansion is powered by two primary drivers:

E-commerce Boom – With online retail sales growing at nearly 20% annually, freight forwarding services are in high demand to handle rising shipment volumes. This trend is supported by growing internet penetration and increased consumer spending across Asia.

Infrastructure Investments – Regional governments are investing heavily in logistics facilities, transport networks, and port modernization. Institutions like the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank have committed over USD 100 billion to support connectivity projects, while initiatives such as China’s Belt and Road and India’s National Logistics Policy are creating smoother cross-border trade flows.

Technology is also shaping the industry. AI-driven route optimization is helping reduce delivery times, IoT tools are improving operational efficiency, and blockchain is gaining adoption for supply chain transparency, with reported usage increasing by 30% in recent years.
