Against this backdrop, the global multimodal transportation services market is projected to grow from $98.61 billion in 2025 to $159.30 billion by 2032, signalling a $60.7 billion growth opportunity, according to MarketsandMarkets research, driven by rising demand for resilient, end-to-end logistics solutions. This growth reflects a structural shift rather than a cyclical rebound. As supply chains fragment and new corridors emerge, the ability to combine maritime transport seamlessly with rail, road and inland waterways is becoming a strategic differentiator. Containerised shipping sits at the centre of this transition. It carries approximately 35% of total trade volumes and 60% of its commercial value, yet remains exposed to disruption, from equipment imbalances and congestion to major route diversions and volatile pricing. Increasing container supply alone will not resolve these pressures. What is required is a broader transformation toward integrated, multimodal supply chains supported by digital visibility and adaptable infrastructure. This paper explores the forces reshaping global trade, the structural pressures facing traditional logistics models, and how DP World is responding by embedding marine services within wider multimodal networks. In doing so, it considers how governments, logistics providers and cargo owners can position themselves to capture. Access the paper here.
