Description

The Global Project Logistics Market was valued at USD 2.26 billion in 2024 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 11.5% to reach USD 6.1 billion by 2034. This robust growth is fueled by rising investments in large-scale infrastructure, oil & gas, and renewable energy projects globally. Project logistics involves the planning, execution, and coordination of complex shipments, including heavy-lift, oversized cargo, and time-critical deliveries that require multimodal transportation and specialized handling. As global economies push for industrial expansion and modernization, project logistics providers are playing a pivotal role in enabling seamless supply chain operations across continents.

The demand for integrated logistics solutions is accelerating as companies increasingly focus on minimizing project timelines, reducing costs, and mitigating risks related to large and high-value shipments. Advancements in supply chain visibility, digital freight platforms, and predictive analytics are transforming how logistics service providers manage route planning, compliance, and on-ground execution. Moreover, sustainability initiatives are also shaping the market, with companies seeking low-emission transport alternatives and green logistics certifications to align with ESG goals.

The Project Logistics Market is segmented by service, with transportation services accounting for the largest share in 2024, generating USD 1.14 billion. Transportation remains the backbone of project logistics, encompassing inland trucking, ocean freight, air chartering, and rail services. Complex cargo often demands custom-designed transportation strategies, with specialized trailers, cranes, and handling equipment. The growing scale of industrial projects across the energy, mining, and construction sectors continues to drive demand for tailored and reliable transportation solutions.

By transportation mode, road transport dominated the global project logistics market in 2024, contributing USD 1.37 billion in revenue. Road freight is preferred for its route flexibility, last-mile connectivity, and capability to transport oversized and heavy cargo. In regions with developing infrastructure and landlocked areas, road logistics plays a crucial role in bridging the gap between manufacturing sites, ports, and project locations. With increased investments in highway and road development, especially in emerging markets, the road segment is poised for sustained growth.

In terms of industry, the oil & gas sector emerged as the leading contributor to project logistics demand in 2024, accounting for USD 659 million. The sector's reliance on timely and safe delivery of large and sensitive equipment—such as pipelines, compressors, rigs, and turbines—makes logistics a critical operational component. As exploration and production activities rise in both offshore and onshore fields, especially in the Middle East, North America, and parts of Asia, logistics providers are partnering with oil & gas companies to offer end-to-end support, including customs clearance, route surveys, and risk management.

India stood out as one of the fastest-growing countries in the Project Logistics Market, generating USD 1.52 billion in 2024. With ongoing infrastructure megaprojects under initiatives such as “Make in India” and the National Infrastructure Pipeline (NIP), the demand for project logistics in the country is witnessing unprecedented growth. Sectors like renewable energy, oil & gas, transportation, and heavy engineering are fueling the need for specialized logistics services. Government reforms to streamline customs procedures, expand port capacities, and boost private investment in logistics parks are further improving India’s project logistics landscape.

Leading players in the global project logistics market—including DHL Industrial Projects, Kuehne + Nagel, DB Schenker, DSV, Agility Logistics, and Bolloré Logistics—are expanding their global project logistics capabilities by investing in heavy-lift equipment, skilled personnel, digital tools, and strategic partnerships. These companies are also enhancing their service offerings through multimodal transport integration, risk assessment, sustainability consulting, and project-specific warehousing.

As global infrastructure and energy demands grow more complex and geographically dispersed, project logistics providers will continue to play a strategic role in ensuring cost-effective, timely, and secure transport of critical assets, making them indispensable partners in the successful delivery of capital-intensive projects worldwide.
