The need to optimize the supply chain process and to reduce operational costs, as well as the growing demand for real-time tracking and visibility of shipments to boost customer loyalty and satisfaction are major elements that are expected to play a vital role in fueling growth prospects for the various players engaged in the freight management system market. Additionally, various advancements in technology, such as IoT, cloud computing, and big data analytics, continue to make it easier to manage and track the movement of goods across multiple channels. This is another element that is expected to have a major impact on the growth trajectory of the global freight management system market.

Growth Challenges

High Implementation Costs, and Limited IT Infrastructure Challenge Market

The initial costs of implementing a suitable FMS solution can be expensive. This includes both the software and hardware costs, training costs, and implementation costs. These elements could result in many companies refraining from applying them to existing daily operations. Moreover, limited IT infrastructure is another crucial factor that could hinder the adoption of freight management systems. This mostly applies to emerging economies that may lack reliable internet connectivity and transportation infrastructure, both of which are needed to successfully implement FMS solutions. These factors could potentially hinder the further progression of the global freight management system market in the years ahead.

COVID-19 Impact
