12.12.2025

According to Allied Market Research, the global intermodal freight transportation market, valued at $42.5 billion in 2022, is expected to reach $109.5 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 10.4%

The segment integrates freight delivery across multiple modes of transport, enabling cost optimization, efficiency, and sustainability in logistics. The active implementation of automation and AI is increasing industry productivity through automated planning, routing, and tracking of shipments.

Despite growth, the sector faces challenges: increasingly complex logistics processes, longer delivery times, and limited supply chain visibility. The report emphasizes the need to accelerate the implementation of sustainable solutions, as the industry is under pressure due to greenhouse gas emissions. A shift to cleaner energy sources and smart route planning can reduce the carbon footprint and spur innovation.

The market is segmented by transport type, consuming industry, and region. The most significant sectors remain trucking and consumer and retail goods. Europe leads in market share, maintaining strong demand for intermodal logistics solutions.
