The rising demand for logistics and supply chain is expected to propel the growth of the freight management system market going forward. Logistics and supply chain refer to the coordinated management of the flow of goods, services, and information from raw material sourcing to final product delivery to the customer.

A freight management system is useful for logistics and supply chain because it streamlines the planning, tracking, and optimization of shipments, reducing costs, improving delivery speed, and enhancing overall supply chain efficiency. For instance, in June 2025, according to Eurostat, a Luxembourg-based statistical office of the European Union, total road freight transport in the EU exceeded 13.1 billion tonnes and amounted to 1.86 trillion tonne-kilometres in 2024, with Germany recording the highest level of road freight transport by tonnes among EU territories. Therefore, the rising demand for logistics and supply chain is driving the growth of the freight management system market.
