The North America Third Party Logistics Market was valued at USD 419.7 billion in 2024 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 10.4% to reach USD 1 trillion by 2034. The market’s upward momentum is largely driven by the rapid growth of online retail, heightened consumer demand for faster deliveries, and a rising need for integrated logistics solutions. Countries such as the United States and Canada are leading the way, backed by strong digital infrastructure, mature retail and manufacturing industries, and the deployment of smart logistics technologies. The ongoing transition toward cloud-based transport management and AI-enabled supply chain tools is redefining 3PL operations across the region. From automated warehouse systems to advanced route forecasting, logistics players are embracing digital innovations that optimize movement and reduce costs.
Even though the pandemic initially disrupted supply operations, it fast-tracked the shift toward outsourced logistics as businesses looked to boost supply chain resilience. Companies now prefer flexible 3PL partnerships to navigate shifting market dynamics. Meanwhile, regulatory developments and sustainability goals are prompting 3PL providers to shift toward electric fleets, energy-conscious storage, and recyclable packaging. These environmental, social, and governance (ESG) commitments are rapidly becoming key differentiators across logistics services.
The dedicated transportation management (DTM) segment held a 29% share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 13% through 2034. DTM’s strength lies in offering dynamic route optimization, scalable logistics strategies, and transparent shipment tracking. Businesses in both Canada and the US are relying more heavily on DTM frameworks to enhance supply chain responsiveness and reduce operational expenses, driven by cloud-based systems and AI-powered logistics planning.
In 2024, the rail and road segment accounted for a 78% share, generating USD 329 billion. Its dominance stems from the reliability and reach of ground transportation networks, which support large-volume domestic freight across industries such as food & beverage, retail, and automotive. This mode enables intermodal coordination, just-in-time logistics, and cost-effective last-mile delivery for businesses across the region.
United States Third Party Logistics (3PL) Market held an 85% share, generating USD 354.9 billion in 2024.
