Freight Matching Platform Market Size

The global freight matching platform market is projected to grow at a high CAGR value from 2022 to 2027. The growing demand for efficient shipping in supply chains is one of the major drivers of the freight matching platform. These platforms facilitate companies in supply chain logistics and decision-making.

Freight matching software is used to connect the consigner with third-party shippers. This software analyzes data across multiple third-party service providers to find the best possible service provider for the user. The growing amount of data being generated by companies regarding their supply chain and shipping activities owing to the growing adoption of GPS-enables tracking systems are also responsible for the growing market. This software allows companies to scale up production without increasing their overhead expenses, improve workflow, improve operational efficiency, and increased resilience to volatility in the marketplace, among other advantages.

The U.S government's bureau of transportation statistics estimates that the U.S.-International freight trade is worth upwards of USD 4.14 trillion annually. Seaways are the most common mode of transportation for freights in the United States followed by airways.

The growing volume of international trade has increased the demand for freight services. With greater volume to be transported through freights, companies are turning to innovative digital solutions to improve their efficiency. Delays in shipping and supply chain can result in sales losses as it cascades with delays in other services to create massive losses for the company. Various freight management solutions like freight matching platforms are being increasingly adopted to improve efficiency and prevent delays.

The growing e-commerce industry has also played a part in the increase in freight shipment volume in recent years. To meet the increased shipping volume, companies have begun turning to third-party logistic companies. Through freight matching platforms, companies are better equipped to find their ideal shipping partner to ensure their specific delivery goals are met and at a reasonable cost to the company.

The market’s growth is restrained by the high cost of such software, lack of skilled professionals for the adoption of such solutions, and concerns regarding privacy and data theft.

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused various delays in the transportation of goods, supply chains have been restricted, manufacturing had to be shut down, storage issues and other constraints arising from measures taken to prevent the spread of COVID have restrained the growth of the market. As the economy opens up, the market is expected to bounce back as delays and backorders are processed. With increased freight shipments, companies are expected to increasingly adopt freight matching platform software during the forecast period.

The freight matching platform market is largely driven by the growing demand for freight shipments, increased adoption of cloud-based solutions, adoption of GPS-enabled tracking systems, adoption of data analytics in freight transportation, and the growing volume of international trade.
