WHY DOES THE MARKET MATTER?
- The global mobility-as-a-service market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 38.9% and reach a value of $484B, as per Market Research Future.
- The trucking industry, slated to reach $1T by 2024, is facing a number of challenges. For one, the outbreak of Covid-19 is expected to have a drastic effect on global supply chains, which will make shipping visibility and fleet management critical for supply chains in the near-term.
- Even before the pandemic, though, the industry had been coping with a severe driver shortage, which has placed undue pressure on the space as consumers demand faster delivery speeds. But with these challenges come opportunities for innovation, and trucking tech startups are looking to capitalize by developing tech-driven solutions to maximize efficiency and minimize costs across the supply chain.
