In 2024, M&A activity in the transportation and logistics sector
remained strong, fueled by advancements in EV battery and
autonomous driving technologies, as well as innovations in
smart maintenance, freight visibility, advanced analytics, and
advanced air mobility.
Ocean and air carriers pursued efficiency and network expansion
through acquisitions in freight forwarding, warehousing, and
surface transportation. Strategic investors remained focused
on long-term, stable assets such as airports, railroads, rolling
stock, logistics hubs, storage terminals, and ports. Meanwhile,
businesses prioritized supply chain resilience and digital
adaptation amid geopolitical disruptions, including Red Sea
attacks, U.S. port strikes, and the ongoing war in Ukraine.
