Growth is being fueled by the surge in cross-border e-commerce parcels, which is fragmenting traditional shipment volumes, along with accelerating near-shoring strategies that require shorter lead times. Additionally, the expansion of cold-chain logistics for biologic pharmaceuticals and fresh food products is further strengthening market demand.
