The report also discusses the major drivers that influence the growth of the market and summarises the key trends and changes facing the market and, more specifically, the vendors.

Good logistics infrastructure

The use of modern vehicles that are equipped with technologies, such as GPS tracking and automated handling, a large expanse of multi-lane roads which connect states, and technology-enabled warehouses and transportation carriers have all allowed the US logistics infrastructure to be well-developed, according to the report.

The report also highlights the increase in government regulation in the commercial logistics industry since 2010. It claims that this increase has caused growth in the domestic freight market to be restricted, thereby resulting in high operational costs.
