The global market for artificial intelligence (AI) in logistics is forecast to grow sharply in the coming years as companies increasingly turn to smart technologies to enhance efficiency, cost control and resilience across supply chains.
Recent market analyses indicate the AI logistics sector is expanding rapidly from its current multi‑billion‑dollar base in 2025, with compound annual growth rates projected well into the 30–40 % range over the next decade. This growth is being driven by widespread adoption of AI‑enabled systems in route optimisation, predictive maintenance, warehouse automation and real‑time visibility tools that help logistics operators adapt to labour shortages, rising customer expectations and complex global trade patterns.
Industry observers note that AI technologies are shifting from experimental pilots to core supply chain infrastructure, enabling companies to make faster, data‑driven decisions and improve responsiveness to disruptions. For example, predictive analytics is being used to anticipate demand fluctuations and optimise inventory levels, while machine learning models support dynamic routing that reduces fuel use and delivery times.
Logistics executives say the emphasis on automation and AI reflects the sector’s need for greater operational resilience, particularly as tight labour markets and fluctuating freight demand put pressure on traditional processes. Adoption rates for AI solutions — including in warehouse robotics, forecasting platforms and autonomous systems — have climbed steadily this year, with many firms reporting measurable gains in throughput and cost management.
North America, Europe and the Asia‑Pacific region are expected to lead AI logistics technology deployment, with enterprise software, IoT‑enabled equipment and integration with existing transport management systems (TMS) accelerating implementation. As digital transformation deepens, industry leaders predict that AI will play an ever‑larger role in making logistics networks more agile, transparent and competitive in the years ahead.
