Peru Freight and Logistics Market Trends and Insights

Growing Agro-Exports Driving Cold-Chain Capacity Demand

Blueberry exports topping 326,000 tons in 2024-25 prove the commercial urgency for temperature-controlled storage and reefer trucks. Logistics companies are reacting by adding Class A cold warehouses along the coastal highway that links Trujillo and Lima. Government ambitions to push agro-exports to USD 40 billion by 2040 underpin a pipeline of new facilities near the Chancay catchment area. The first break-bulk shipment of Peruvian table grapes in January 2025 validated lower-cost alternatives to refrigerated containers, widening exporter choices. As shippers chase premium shelf-life and traceability, providers deploying IoT temperature monitors enjoy pricing power in the Peru freight and logistics market.

Surge in E-Commerce Boosting CEP Volumes

Online retail penetration accelerated post-2024, lifting parcel densities in Lima and secondary cities. Chazki’s 2025 merger with LOK created a 25-city CEP platform that leans on AI route engines and 24/7 smart lockers to cut last-mile costs. Avianca Cargo’s June 2025 pact with Amazon Air Cargo introduces guaranteed uplift for cross-border parcels, shortening fulfillment cycles for Peruvian sellers. These shifts encourage omnichannel merchants to outsource logistics, strengthening revenue visibility across the Peru freight and logistics market.

Community Protests Disrupting Mining Haulage

Unplanned blockades on the Southern Mining Corridor impede copper concentrates en route to port, forcing rerouting and longer dwell times. Logistics managers maintain standby fleets and engage in CSR programs to defuse tension, yet risk premiums persist across the Peru freight and logistics market.

Other drivers and restraints analyzed in the detailed report include:

• Port of Callao Expansion and Chancay Megaport Project
• Mining-Corridor CAPEX (Bulk Logistics Demand)
• Aging Trucking Fleet and High Fuel Costs

Segment Analysis

Wholesale and Retail Trade owned 35.68% of 2025 revenue, underpinned by import distribution centers supplying 33 million consumers. Manufacturing is forecast to record a 5.98% CAGR between 2026-2031 as policy incentives entice electronics and auto-parts assemblers to coastal free-trade zones.

The Agricultural cluster leverages cold warehouses and reefer trucking to uphold export quality, while Mining relies on hopper railcars and dust-suppression systems to meet ESG obligations. Construction logistics benefit from cement and steel demand linked to nationwide transport projects. Collectively, these verticals broaden cargo diversity, cushioning the Peru freight and logistics industry against commodity price swings.

Freight Transport contributed 66.54% to the Peru freight and logistics market in 2025, mirroring commodity bulk needs and general cargo flows. Stable demand from mining and agro exports anchors the segment, while ongoing highway and rail upgrades promise incremental efficiencies. CEP’s 6.63% CAGR (2026-2031) underscores e-commerce vitality; investments in AI dispatch and parcel lockers shorten delivery windows and lift consumer confidence. Freight Forwarding benefits from multimodal connectivity at Callao and Chancay, integrating sea-air solutions that reduce lead times. Warehousing growth rides the emergence of Class A parks near Lima, where occupancies top 93%. Other Services, such as customs brokerage, gain relevance after APM Terminals rolled out the electronic Guía de Remisión to slash paperwork queues.

The Peru freight and logistics market sees CEP operators bundling fulfillment, returns, and same-day services to sustain yields amid heavy competition. In Freight Transport, spot-rate volatility drives shippers toward annualized contracts, enhancing revenue visibility for carriers. Warehousing investors prioritize cross-dock formats adjacent to the Pan-American Highway to match rapid throughput expectations. Meanwhile, hybrid freight forwarders merge SaaS visibility with traditional booking desks to capture mid-market exporters. Collectively, these moves underscore the structural evolution of the Peru freight and logistics industry toward integrated, tech-enabled workflows.
