Transportation Management Systems Market: Overview

The transportation management system is a logistic platform that enables users to manage and optimize goods transportation operations. The preliminary purpose of using a transportation management system is to reduce cost, improve efficiency and customer service, and gain real-time supply chain visibility. Transportation management systems are majorly used by manufacturers, distributors, transport service providers, retailers, and other e-commerce organizations.

Transportation Management Systems help organizations streamline their operational functionality regarding accurate freight audit, logistic payments, route planning and optimization, freight tracking, and carrier management, which enhances the logistics and transportation industry.

Increasing demand for smart transportation will be governed largely by driverless transport systems for which transportation management systems are a compulsion because they will be the only way to manage and operate these systems. Increasing demand for connected infrastructure and high internet penetration will further bolster market potential over the forecast period.

However, high costs regarding the deployment and adoption of transportation management systems and concerns regarding the security of data are expected to have a restraining effect on the transportation management systems market growth to 2028.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis:

The COVID-19 pandemic had a significantly adverse impact on the transportation management systems market. The transportation management systems market saw a major downfall owing to travel restrictions across the world to curb the spread of coronavirus infections. Disrupted supply chain and logistics activity on a global scale also led to a negative trend in the transportation management systems marketplace in this era.  

Strict restrictions prohibiting outdoor activity, international travel bans, closed borders of nations, and disrupted international trade are some other factors that hindered overall market growth in the year 2020.

The transportation management systems market is expected to see a boost in demand in the post-pandemic era as travel activity resumes and demand for transportation management systems sees a hike. With industrial activity resuming there will be a spike in demand for raw materials and other supplies which will bolster demand for logistics over the forecast period.
