The customs brokerage service category is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.7% from 2023 to 2030. North America held the largest revenue share in 2022 due to a number of factors, including significant industry players’ presence, technological developments, and rapid expansion in a variety of sectors, including manufacturing, healthcare, and retail. The dominance of the region can be linked to the existence of developed nations like the United States and Canada, where these industries are rapidly expanding. Trade with other nations is facilitated by collaboration and partnerships among the major market participants, and trade in this region is also increasing thanks to the region’s modern infrastructure, which includes effective land, sea, and airport services.
E-commerce is driving the growth of the customs brokerage services category. The increasing availability of broadband internet, the growing popularity of mobile devices, and the convenience of shopping online are all factors that are driving the growth of e-commerce. As businesses ship more goods to customers around the world, they need to clear those goods through customs. This is where customs brokerage services come in. Customs brokers help businesses navigate the complex customs regulations of different countries and ensure that goods are cleared quickly and efficiently.
Companies are continuously focusing on collaborating for instance,
• In April 2023, Worldwide Logistics Group (WWL), a global integrated logistics provider, completed the acquisition of P. W. Bellingall, Inc. (PWB), a major customs brokerage house located in San Francisco. This acquisition will give WWL a significant presence in the cross-border trade between the United States & Asia and will expand its reach into the San Francisco Bay Area.
• In June 2022, Parade, a software provider for freight brokerage, integrated its truckload capacity management platform with Covenant Logistics Group, Inc. By bridging the technical gap and facilitating a more seamless shift from manual to digital freight bookings, this partnership will aid Covenant’s freight brokerage operations. This will increase operational effectiveness and enable Covenant to adjust to the shifting business environment.
