The transportation management system market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• In recent years, the market size of the transportation management system has seen a speedy expansion. Starting from a valuation of $13.11 billion in 2024, it is projected to leap to $15.28 billion in 2025, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.6%. The notable growth in the historical period is owed to factors such as the escalation in the intricacy of logistics, the need for regulatory compliance, increased fuel prices, the requirement for cost efficiency, customer's need for quick deliveries, and the necessity for integration with other systems.
The Transportation Management System market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The market size of the transportation management system (TMS) is predicted to experience rapid expansion in the coming years, increasing to $28.36 billion in 2029 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.7%.
The factors contributing to this anticipated growth during the forecast period include the introduction of self-driving vehicles, an increased push toward sustainability, complexity in final-stage delivery, the rising significance of data analytics, the growth of cross-border commerce, and an emphasis on scalability. Other key trends expected during this forecast period are the use of cloud-based TMS, real-time tracking and visibility, collaborative platforms and ecosystems, mobile TMS apps, the inclusion of automated and autonomous vehicles in TMS, globalization, multi-modal transport, and subscription-based TMS models.
The surge in the use of cloud and IoT applications is anticipated to spearhead the expansion of the transportation management system market. These applications comprise of APIs and additional interfaces enabling the pushing and pulling of data to and from IoT sensor devices and connected applications. The Internet of Things (IoT) provides in-depth integrated and streamlined transportation and warehouse management solutions in areas of transport, logistics, and fleet management by linking in-vehicle sensors and other related digital equipment via the network. As pointed out by AAG IT Services, a UK-based IT and digital transformation services firm, in January 2024, public cloud services experienced a revenue jump, surpassing $415 billion in 2022, a noticeable increase from $343 billion in 2021, with forecasts hinting at a rise to $526 billion in 2023. Furthermore, in August 2022, according to a report by the Health Sector Cybersecurity Coordination Center (HC3), a US-based Cybersecurity Program division of the United States Department of Health and Human Services, roughly 7 billion gadgets were connected through the Internet of Things (IoT) in 2022, with an approximate growth prediction of 20 billion more by 2025. Consequently, the utilization of cloud and IoT applications will power the momentum of the transportation management system market.
