Expectations for the 2025 transportation market in one word
If you had one word to describe what you expect from the transportation market in 2025, what would it be?
In a September 2024 survey, we asked 105 supply chain and logistics executives, including members of Indago’s supply chain research community as well as shipper and carrier customers of Transporeon and Trimble, that question. We also asked several shipper and carrier executives in video interviews conducted at the Transporeon Summit 2024.
'Challenging' was the word submitted the most times, along with other related words such as volatile, unstable and dynamic.
But not everything was about adversity. Other executives chose more optimistic words, such as 'growing', 'expanding' and 'possibilities'. Unsurprisingly, AI was mentioned several times, as well as digitisation and innovation.

Hoping for the best with a hint of caution
Overall, the dominant themes emerging from the survey responses indicate that executives anticipate 2025 to be a year marked by technological innovation, growth opportunities and adaptation to change, but they also expect volatility and market challenges.
This mix of optimism and caution reflects the complexity of navigating the evolving transportation market.
What follows are additional insights from the survey results and executive interviews.
