Global sea freight forwarding market is projected to witness a CAGR of 4.85% during the forecast period 2025-2032, growing from USD 70.81 billion in 2024 to USD 103.43 billion in 2032.

The growth of global trade fueled by increasing consumer demand and e-commerce growth has driven the need for efficient and cost-effective transportation solutions. Sea freight remains the most economical option for transporting large volumes of goods over long distances, making this area booming. Advances in technology, including real-time tracking, predictive analytics, and blockchain applications, have achieved supply chain transparency and further enhanced operational efficiency and customer satisfaction. Globalization has led to the opening up of intercontinental routes that connect Asia-Pacific, Europe, and North America, with strong sea freight demand. Strategic investments in port infrastructure, larger container ships, and sustainable practices also had to be made to cater to the ever-increasing shipments. Furthermore, the sea freight market has proven to bounce back resilience during disruptions like the COVID-19 pandemic, making it a key element in global logistics networks.

In February 2024, Kuehne + Nagel International AG, a Switzerland-based logistics company, enhanced its sea explorer platform by including inland haulage lead times for both full container loads and less than container loads. This expansion provides users with comprehensive, verified data covering approximately 1,250 global locations, enabling shippers to gain insights into schedules, routing, service structures, and disruptions within a single platform. By offering end-to-end visibility and timely information, sea explorers empower shippers to optimize their supply chains for speed, reliability, and sustainability, ultimately supporting the growth and efficiency of the sea freight forwarding market.

Global Trade and E-commerce Fueling the Sea Freight Forwarding Market

Global trade and e-commerce growth have significantly expanded the ocean freight market. As global trade expands, businesses increasingly buy and sell goods across borders, creating a growing demand for efficient logistics solutions on a scale. As the most cost-effective way to transport bulk goods, ocean shipping has become the preferred choice across many industries. This trend has been further accelerated by e-commerce, as online retailers need efficient supply chains to meet growing consumer demand for fast international shipping. This shift has increased container volumes and investment in port infrastructure, allowing for smoother and more reliable operations. The global expansion of e-commerce platforms has expanded trade routes, further increasing the need for reliable maritime transport services.

In December 2023, Nippon Express Holdings, Inc., Japan-based logistics and transportation company introduced a new international ocean freight service called "Busan Hub x Japan Regional Ports," connecting South Korea's Busan Port and regional ports in Japan to tackle the anticipated labor shortages and stricter truck driver regulations in 2024. Using Busan as a storage hub, the service aims to shorten domestic trucking distances, reduce transport costs, and lower CO2 emissions. This initiative enhances supply chain efficiency and provides a reliable, cost-effective, and sustainable solution for import and export logistics, fostering growth in the sea freight forwarding market.

Advancements in Technology Drive Market Growth

Technology is playing a key role in the growth of the sea freight forwarding market. Advances such as real-time tracking, predictive analytics, and automated processes have improved the efficiency of logistics operations. Advanced tracking systems empower businesses to trace shipments in real time, enhance visibility, and reduce delays. Predictive analytics optimize routes, improve inventory management, and help to reduce risks through the foretelling of demand and possible disruptions. The other benefit is that this technology ensures greater transparency and security in transactions and reduces fraud and operational costs. Artificial intelligence and machine learning integration help speed up the process of decision-making while enhancing customer service and providing better user experience. So, these technological advancements go together with the enhancement of reliability in sea freight services and increased demand due to international logistics efficiency and cost-effectiveness.

In April 2023, Deutsche Post AG, a German supply chain company, launched GoGreen Plus, a service allowing customers to reduce carbon emissions from shipments using Sustainable Aviation Fuel. This initiative supports Deutsche Post DHL Group's goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050, offering customers the flexibility to choose SAF for individual shipments and tailor their CO2 reduction. By delivering up to 80% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions compared to traditional jet fuel, the service promotes sustainable logistics practices, sets a precedent for the industry, and contributes to the growth of a greener ocean freight transportation market.

Full Container Load Dominates Sea Freight Forwarding Market

Full container load dominates the sea freight forwarding market due to its cost efficiency for large shipments. By fully utilizing a container's capacity, FCL offers lower per-unit shipping costs, making it ideal for businesses with substantial volumes. It also reduces the risk of cargo damage since the container is dedicated to a single shipper. FCL's predictable schedules and faster transit times contribute to its popularity, particularly for businesses seeking more control over their shipments. As global trade grows and supply chains demand reliability, FCL remains the preferred method for bulk and heavy goods transport.

In March 2024, Hellmann Worldwide Logistics SE & Co. KG, a German transport and logistics company partnered with HMM Company Limited on sustainable sea freight solutions to cut Scope 3 emissions with the use of marine biofuel. The partnership aims to decarbonize the container shipping sector by providing clients with insetting solutions directly reducing CO2 emissions. In addition, improving carbon emission reporting and providing holistic end-to-end sustainability strategies, this partnership strengthens long-term sustainability goals, underpinned by the Paris Agreement. This helps push forward the growth of the sea freight forwarding market by encouraging greener logistics practices and further improving the efficiency of supply chains.

Asia-Pacific Dominates Sea Freight Forwarding Market Share

Asia-Pacific dominates the marine goods market because of its central role in world production and trade. As the largest world exporter, China plays a key role, supported by large shopping centers, such as Shanghai, Hong Kong, and Singapore, one of the most loaded ports in the world. The region also benefits from advanced logistics infrastructure, with significant investments in port development, technology, and efficient shipping routes. Growing consumer markets in countries like India, coupled with the rapid rise of e-commerce, further fuel demand for sea freight services. Government support through regulatory reforms and strategic logistics partnerships can help improve the competitiveness of global supply chains.

In July 2024, AP MOLLER - MAERSK A/S, a Denmark-based shipping company, launched the SH3 ocean shipping service between China and Bangladesh to meet growing trade demand, especially in retail. Starting 7 July 2024, SH3 adds capacity and flexibility, complementing existing services SH1, SH2, and IA7. The new service enhances supply chain efficiency by providing multiple loading options and improved transit times, benefiting Chinese textile exporters and Bangladeshi garment manufacturers. This expanded network supports the fast-growing Readymade Garment industry in Bangladesh, promoting growth in the sea freight forwarding market by ensuring timely delivery and increased capacity.
