Global Digital Shipment Market Customer Landscape
Our researchers analyzed the data with 2022 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
Increasing customer demand for faster and more streamlined services is the key factor driving the global digital shipment market growth. The market is witnessing an urgent need for digital transformation as customers demand faster and more streamlined services. This has led loyal customers to choose other service providers who offer integrated end-to-end logistics to deliver high value along the supply chain. They are looking for a faster way to make purchases, which further facilitates faster purchasing decisions. Therefore, the freight service provider integrates various digital tools such as online chat and displaying contact information on the website to improve the flow of communication. Additionally, growing demand for a better customer buying experience has led businesses to offer instant quotes, transparent pricing, and the ability to compare rates and carriers.
In addition, the carrier enables better freight tracking by providing an online platform for purchasing and managing freight services. Along with this, digital shipping service providers can share all the documents required for each shipment within their online platform, making it easier for them to quickly access and organize everything in one place when they need it Therefore, many companies prefer shipping service providers with new and efficient digital business platforms to offer more benefits to their customers. Therefore, rising demand for faster and more streamlined logistics services is expected to boost the growth of the digital shipment market during the forecast period.
Globalization in the supply chain will fuel the global digital shipment market growth. With the increasing globalization of supply chains and the availability of new market opportunities, the providers of the global digital shipment market are facing intense competition, especially in emerging regions around the world. In addition, most consumer goods companies buy and sell goods and services across borders to expand their business. Shipping local goods internationally also helps to improve the economy, as importing and exporting goods leads to increased tax revenues, and it also contributes to the growth of the target market. Increased international trade has led to an increase in trade corridors.
A trade corridor is an integrated transport network between geographical regions that fosters economic development and facilitates trade. These corridors include integrated infrastructure, such as highways and railroads, that connect cities and countries. Many countries and regions are investing in developing new trade corridors to facilitate the movement of goods and commodities. The economic corridors are used by shippers and carriers to transport products such as electronics, clothing, and vegetables across borders, creating demand for digital shipping services to transport these products efficiently. Therefore, supply chain globalization is expected to have a positive impact on the growth of the digital shipment market during the forecast period.
Cybercrimes can majorly impede the growth of the market. One of the biggest challenges faced by the global digital shipment market is the issue of cybersecurity. As connectivity and digitization increase, so does the risk of hacking and ransomware attacks. Shipping companies, concerned about vulnerabilities across their value chains, have resorted to cybercrime. As technology has become an integral part of shipping operations, data security and security are as important as ensuring operational efficiency. Cybercrime is a growing concern in the shipping industry as the demand to minimize risks associated with ships and port systems increases. Currently, there are many innovative and novel technologies for tracking cargo, digitizing and automating paper filing, providing end-to-end supply chain visibility, integrating marine insurance policies and smart contracts, and recording information about vessels.
It is, therefore, imperative to ensure the protection and cybersecurity of a company's private or sensitive data while establishing interoperability for seamless data exchange between operators. Some of the most common cybercrimes are the manipulation of cargo, shipping, and port systems by introducing viruses, ransomware, and malware. Cybercrime can adversely affect a company's financial performance and brand /image. Therefore, the risk of cybercrime associated with digital shipping is expected to hamper the market growth during the forecast period.
The digital shipping lines segment will contribute a major share of the market, due to the high revenue contribution from digital shipping liners. The digital shipping lines segment showed a gradual increase in the market share with USD 5,910.02 million in 2017 and continued to grow by 2021. Major digital shipping companies operating in the market include Maersk Line, Mediterranean Shipping Co., Hapag Lloyd, and CMA CGM. These shipping lines are basically owned or leased companies that operate vessels that move cargo or containers from a loading port to a discharging port. Shipping lines may own or operate carriers that provide unscheduled service to move cargo from one point to another through a carrier or beneficial owner (BCO).

Digital shipping companies typically use containers equipped with tracking devices, which utilize AI and IoT technologies to transmit logistics-related information in real-time. Once the cargo reaches its final destination, shipping lines often hand it over to freight forwarders. Some of the advantages of digital shipping companies are the ability to book directly online with ocean freight suppliers at competitive prices and the ability to choose the cargo vessel of the desired choice. Additionally, Digital Shipping Companies may not provide additional transportation services after the shipment has reached its final destination. These factors are anticipated to drive the growth of the digital shipping lines segment of the digital shipment market during the forecast period.
Based on deployment, the cloud-based logistics segment is expected to hold the largest market share. The cloud-based logistics segment is growing rapidly, and its market share is expected to increase during the forecast period. Cloud-based solutions come with recurring payment systems and recurring costs for maintenance and updates rather than huge one-time investments. Other hosted solution options may include a large initial cost followed by an annual support payment.
Logistics is expected to be an early adopter of cloud-based data tools. Cloud-based solutions require no additional hardware or software and are inexpensive. Cloud-based solutions offer significant revenue contributions to market providers. Cost and flexibility in delivering these solutions are the major factors driving the market. Such factors are expected to drive the growth of the cloud segment of the digital shipment market during the forecast period.
APAC is estimated to contribute 30% to the growth by 2027. Technavio’s analysts have elaborately explained the regional trends, drivers, and challenges that are expected to shape the market during the forecast period.

APAC can be attributed to the presence of a large consumer base with internet access and the rapid growth of the e-commerce industry in the region. In addition, many major suppliers, such as COSCO, Evergreen Group, Hyundai, Ocean Network Express, and Yang Ming Marine Transport Corp. are headquartered in the region. This gives suppliers comprehensive access to sales channels for the movement of goods. The presence of highly populated countries with high internet penetration such as India and China is expected to boost the regional market significantly. The rising internet penetration will support online businesses and have a positive impact on the digital shipment market during the forecast period.
Different countries were adversely affected by the COVID-19 outbreak in the first half of 2020. They imposed partial or full lockdowns depending on the severity of the disease outbreak in their country. During the lockdown, people preferred to purchase goods from e-commerce sites, which acted as a catalyst for the digital shipment market.
Many e-commerce companies adopted digital shipping and digital payments to avoid physical contact. Along with this, RBI instructed people in India to use digital payment infrastructure and digital broadcasting. Such conditions and policies led to changes in people's behavior as they may prefer digital delivery over couriers. Therefore, the digital shipment market is expected to witness significant growth during the forecast period.
