The global transportation analytics market size was valued at USD 15.84 billion in 2025. The market is projected to grow from USD 19.67 billion in 2026 to USD 111.33 billion by 2034, exhibiting a CAGR of 24.19% during the forecast period. 

The global transportation analytics market is expanding with rising demand for data-driven solutions to manage traffic flow, logistics, and urban mobility. These analytical tools are used to reduce congestion and promote safety to allow the flow of transport. Many industries are beginning to utilize analytics to streamline operations and improve the travel experience while on the go.

• According to the American Trucking Association, in 2022, approximately 72.6% of the nation’s freight by weight was moved on a truck. Hence, the analytics solutions for freight management will be in rising demand. Companies are using analytics to optimize logistics and remove inefficiencies.

From transportation analytics, decision-making for aviation, freight, and multimodal transport is made easier. The Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) provides interactive visualizations for more meaningful insights into the freight movement. Such tools respond to the demand for real-time transport analysis and efficiency enhancement.

Transportation Analytics Market Driver

Smart Transportation Projects and Analytics Drive Market Growth

Since 2020, more states and municipalities have begun work on smart transportation projects that improve urban mobility and traffic efficiency. Transport operations are being heavily affected by the integration of big data, artificial intelligence (AI), and predictive analytics.

BTS oversees the National Transportation Atlas Database (NTAD) in GIS environments, which promotes real-time insights and decision-making in traffic management and infrastructure planning. As urbanization increases, effective traffic management is vital for alleviating congestion and promoting sustainability. The Freight Analysis Framework from the BTS aids with freight movement among states, thus allowing authorities to streamline logistics networks and minimize delays.

Transportation Analytics Market Restraint

Data Privacy, High Costs, and Legacy Integration Hinder Market Growth

The major challenges in the adoption of analytics solutions are the concerns regarding privacy and security of data. The National Transportation Library, maintained by BTS, contains a wide collection of transport research data, which needs to be well secured from unauthorized access. Cost remains a big problem, putting analytics solutions beyond the reach of almost all budget-constrained areas.

BTS' Port Performance Freight Statistics Program collects all U.S. port throughput data; however, the use of such advanced analytic services comes with huge financial implications. Indeed, aligning these new analytics technologies with legacy transport is not simple.

Transportation Analytics Market Opportunity

MaaS, Autonomy, and Sustainability Drive Transportation Analytics Market Growth

With the upsurge of Mobility as a Service (MaaS) platforms, new analysis opportunities arise for optimizing multimodal transport solutions. BTS' TransBorder Freight Data provides a detailed view of trade movement within the extent of the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, thereby assisting the cross-border integration of MaaS. Transportation analytics are, in increasing measure, being relied upon by autonomous vehicles to negotiate passage and ensure safety.

Data concerning U.S. goods movement provided by BTS's Commodity Flow Survey feed into planning for logistics, which is of utmost importance for autonomous freight transport. Sustainability initiatives drive the demand for analytics for fuel efficiency optimization and emission reduction. The BTS report Transportation Economic Trends has analyzed transport pricing trends, thus aiding businesses to chart cost-effective and eco-friendly routes.
