Global Multimodal Transportation Market Outlook

The global multimodal transportation market size reached approximately USD 44.78 billion in 2023. The market is assessed to grow at a CAGR of 8.3% between 2024 and 2032 to attain a value of around USD 92.38 billion by 2032.

 

Key Trends in the Market

Multimodal transportation, variously known as intermodal transportation, is the movement of goods through numerous transportation modes such as air, road, air, and water. By strategically combining different transportation modes and leveraging their strengths, multimodal transportation offers various advantages like cost-effectiveness, improved supply chain visibility, and enhanced connectivity, among others.

 

  • A major factor influencing the multimodal transportation market growth includes a surge in international trade.  Multimodal transport reduces handling times, uses a simplified transport and single transport operator, and lowers incidences of losses or thefts.
  • The introduction of favourable government policies aimed at promoting multimodal transportation and reducing reliance on road transportation is one of the crucial multimodal transportation market trends. Governments are also actively investing in developing multimodal logistics parks and infrastructure such as rail and waterways concentrated towards multimodal transportation and attempting to reduce logistics costs.
  • The growing focus on reducing the carbon footprint of supply chains and the rising demand for sustainable transport modes are favouring the multimodal transportation market demand. To align with the trend of sustainability, key players are switching to carbon-efficient transport modes, optimising and organising routes, lowering empty mileage, and improving land use planning.

Multimodal transportation can rationalise infrastructure, reduce transport and inventory costs, decrease energy consumption, promote the use of appropriate modes, improve logistics performance, alleviate carbon emissions, optimise door-to-door transport, and connect rural freight transport infrastructure to markets.

  • Advancements in technology are expected to play an instrumental role in revolutionising the multimodal transportation market development. With the emergence of technologies like the Internet of things (IoT), automation, and artificial intelligence (AI), the connectivity, flexibility, transparency, adaptability, and efficiency of multimodal transportation are likely to surge in the coming years.

Besides, data generated by multimodal transportation systems can be used by organisations to enhance their decision-making processes, gain insights into customer behaviour, enhance the resilience of supply chains, and improve on-time deliveries.
