Digital Freight Forwarding Market Introduction and Overview
According to SPER Market Research, the Global Digital Freight Forwarding Market is estimated to reach USD 42.97 billion by 2033 with a CAGR of 23.31%.
The report includes an in-depth analysis of the Global Digital Freight Forwarding Market, including market size and trends, product mix, applications, and supplier analysis. A digital freight forwarder makes use of digital tools to speed up shipment status updates and enable effective communication. Digital freight forwarders compare shippers and provide their clients the best value using a transparent system. The goal is to reduce the quantity of paper work by creating, uploading, and sharing all documents online and making them immediately accessible to all stakeholders. Two major factors propelling the global digital freight forwarding market's growth are the increase of the e-commerce sector and the rise in free trade agreements. The market's growth was hindered by inadequate infrastructure, rising logistical costs, and stringent air freight regulations.
- May 2021: Apex International Corporation was acquired by Switzerland-based logistics and transportation company. Kuehne+Nagel in May 2021 for an unknown amount. Through this partnership, Apex and Kuehne+Nagel focus on providing their customers with a robust offering in the competitive Asian logistics industry, specifically in the areas of e-mobility, hi-tech, and e-commerce fulfilment. Apex International Corporation is a Chinese logistics firm that specializes in products forwarding.
- July 2020: Global Internet of Things (IoT) solutions provider ORBCOMM Inc. unveiled its next-generation analytics and reporting platform in July 2020. With improved features like dynamic user interfaces and deep data insights, the platform gives users a unified view of all the transportation asset types they own with just one sign-on.
Market Opportunities and Challenges
Self-driving cars have been more significant in the logistics sector over the past few years. But the next big step for the sector may be to use self-driving cars in shared and public areas like city streets and highways, which would improve safety and logistics. Self-driving cars promise to unlock new levels of safety, efficiency, and quality in logistics, moving the focus from trucks to last-mile robots. For example, to support each driver's health and safety, digital logistics providers might leverage several driverless technologies like autonomous highway and platooning. Self-driving cars may carry out jobs that have historically required a lot of work, which will enhance indoor and outdoor logistical operations. Numerous businesses are attempting to hasten the adoption of completely autonomous vehicles.
High capital expenditures are necessary for the digitalization of logistics operations, which also entails the costly installation of automation software, hardware, and solutions. The expense of replacing current procedures is high. One other problem impeding the growth of the digital logistics market is the slow adoption brought on by the different protocols, complicated integrations of multiple IoT platforms, and a vast number of APIs. The slow adoption of digital logistics solutions might be attributed to firms' unwillingness to switch from manual processes to digitalized ones that require significant financial reinvestment. The majority of businesses approach new digital technologies with a lax attitude and rely more on their gut feeling than on implementing digital technologies to help them make wise business decisions.
Market Competitive Landscape
There are numerous companies in the fiercely competitive and highly fragmented digital freight forwarding market. Compared to marketplaces and connectivity providers, digital freight forwarders (DFFs) provide a wider range of logistics services through the use of a digital platform. The smooth user experience of moving items from one location to another while compiling data on a single platform with a single user interface is the foundation of DFFs' fundamental value proposition. Some of the Key Players are Deutsche Post DHL Group, Descartes Kontainers, Flexport Inc., Forto GmbH, Icontainers, Kuehne+Nagel International AG, Turvo Inc., Twill, Transporteca, Uber Freight LLC.

COVID-19 Impact on Global Digital Freight Forwarding Market
The influence of the COVID-19 pandemic on the digital freight forwarding sector is subject to fluctuations and is anticipated to last until the second quarter of 2021. Global logistics activity saw a sharp fall as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak forcing governments to enact stringent lockdown measures that included the cancelation of flights and the outlawing of e-commerce. The COVID-19 pandemic's negative effects caused significant supply and demand problems as well as protracted delays in the global operations of digital freight forwarding.
