Connected Logistics Market Analysis

The connected logistics market reached USD 33.94 billion in 2025 and is forecast to climb to USD 62.59 billion by 2030, reflecting a solid 13.02% CAGR. Shippers' insistence on end-to-end freight transparency, the rapid roll-out of IoT sensors, and the rise of 5G private networks in ports and yards underpin this expansion. Platform vendors are merging asset tracking, real-time visibility, and predictive analytics into unified suites that lower total cost of ownership for carriers and shippers alike. Cyber-resilience and data-sovereignty compliance remain central design criteria, nudging providers toward zero-trust architectures and regional data-processing nodes. The race to de-risk supply chains through digital twins accelerates pilot investments in AI-driven disruption forecasting, especially in manufacturing hubs and export-oriented economies.

Global Connected Logistics Market Trends and Insights



Surge in IoT-enabled asset tracking

Low-power sensors and global LPWAN coverage let companies monitor location, temperature, and shock in real time, extending battery life to a decade in some LoRaWAN deployments. BMW's use of Bluetooth beacons to trace vehicles across warehouses cut search times dramatically. Cardinal Health's smart-sensor pilots improve expiry management in hospital supply rooms. Converging AI analytics transform historical data into predictive maintenance alerts, shifting fleets from reactive to proactive coordination.

Real-time freight visibility mandates from shippers

FourKites' purchase of TrackX Yard Solutions pairs yard-management data with over-the-road visibility, giving shippers sub-hourly updates on trailer locations. RFID deployments in automotive finishing centers stream live status to OEM ERP systems, satisfying strict just-in-time metrics. Life-science consignors deploy multi-sensor tags to meet continuous-temperature logging rules under Good Distribution Practice. Visibility feeds generative-AI route optimization portals expected to handle one-quarter of logistics KPI reporting by 2028.

Cyber-security liabilities across multi-tenant fleets

Reported breaches in transport rose 181% in 2024, with ransomware targeting fleet telematics and electronic logging devices. Cargo theft hit USD 455 million, often via broker impersonation that reroutes entire truckloads. Logistics CISOs now budget double-digit growth in security spend, mirroring Maersk's forecast of USD 36.6 billion by 2037. Multi-tenant SaaS platforms complicate isolation-of-tenants, elevating lateral-movement risks

Segment Analysis

Asset Management represented 41.0% of the connected logistics market size in 2024 thanks to the immediate ROI firms gain by trimming idle time and improving container turns. Enterprises mesh RFID, GNSS, and environmental sensors into unified dashboards that flag under-utilized trailers and temperature excursions in real time. Streaming Analytics is advancing at 16.45% CAGR as organizations demand sub-second insight into truck ETA variance and dwell-time hot spots, fueling predictive rerouting engines.

Evolving warehouse IoT overlays expand use cases from picker guidance to climate optimization, cutting spoilage rates for cold-chain SKUs. Security analytics suites analyze atypical data-packet flows to detect early indicators of device compromise. As Microsoft extends edge AI toolkits into logistics gateways, providers stitch asset health and traffic forecasts into single recommendation engines.

Device Management captured 44.0% share in 2024, reflecting the complexity of patching firmware and certifying thousands of truck, pallet, and yard sensors. Zero-touch onboarding tools reduce truck-dock activation times, supporting large-scale refresh cycles. Connectivity Management is rising at a 15.67% CAGR as private 5G and satellite links multiply subscription profiles that must be orchestrated per asset.

Application Management platforms move workloads between cloud regions and edge gateways to honor latency budgets and data-residency constraints. Patent filings by Tencent and Samsung illustrate new traffic-prioritization algorithms that adapt radio parameters by vehicle speed. Blockchain-enabled devices now embed cryptographic modules, raising the bar for device-lifecycle orchestration

Roadways held 38.5% of the connected logistics market share in 2024 due to dense last-mile networks and mature telematics retrofits. Camera-based ADAS and ELD mandates fuel data flows that improve driver safety and regulatory compliance. Seaways is expected to post a 15.10% CAGR, propelled by smart-container telemetry and automated terminal operations.

Railways modernize with wayside-sensor arrays that predict wheel-flat defects, reducing line-haul interruptions. Airways integrate ULD trackers and AI-driven slot-management tools at cargo hubs. Eurotainer's tank-container telemetry cut supply-chain costs 40% by shrinking heating cycles. Aurora Innovation's driverless freight corridor between Dallas and Houston logged 1,200 miles without a human operator
