  • Latest News- Intermodal Freight Transportation Market: Rail transport is expected to lead the Mode Of Transportation segment during 2025-2029

    The Intermodal Freight Transportation Market is being driven by Reduced freight transportation costs with intermodal services

    The Intermodal Freight Transportation Market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.2% during 2024 and 2029. During this period, the market is also expected to show a growth of USD 69.4 billion. Intermodal and multimodal transportation share similarities in utilizing multiple modes of transport, yet they differ significantly in contractual arrangements. Multimodal transportation encompasses a single contract under one bill of lading, with a singular transport carrier managing the entire shipment across various modes. This setup offers several advantages, including a single point of contact, risk reduction, streamlined tracking, and fewer documents to handle. The growing convenience and efficiency of multimodal transportation are anticipated to fuel the expansion of the global intermodal freight transportation market throughout the forecast period.
