The logistics industry is rapidly evolving due to the rise of e-commerce and advancements in high-speed network connectivity, driving consumer preferences toward online shopping and home delivery services. The global logistics market, projected to reach USD 21.91 trillion by 2033 with a CAGR of 9.35%, is set for significant growth from its USD 8.96 trillion valuation. North America, particularly the U.S., stands out with its advanced infrastructure and supply chain networks, utilizing various transportation modes like express delivery, rail, trucking, and maritime services. Significant advancements include the adoption of green logistics solutions, such as electric vehicles and renewable energy, to enhance sustainability.
