As global trade dynamics evolve, transportation and logistics companies with diversified networks are becoming increasingly valuable in the M&A market.
In a recent interview with the Commercial Carrier Journal, PMCF Investment Banking Director Eddie Zukowski discussed the challenges and opportunities for M&A in the Transportation and Logistics industry in 2025.
“This continual supply chain evolution creates challenges for shippers, resulting in opportunity for logistics providers who have the agility (geographic reach, cross-border capabilities, etc.) and infrastructure (fleet size, warehousing capacity, etc.) to quickly deliver new solutions,” Zukowski told the Commercial Carrier Journal.
Additionally, Zukowski brought up post-COVID issues such as bottlenecks, reshoring and shifting trade routes, making adaptability essential. Shippers are increasingly reshoring or nearshoring operations to mitigate reliance on oversea suppliers to avoid supply chain risks, and Zukowski said this has provided opportunities for specialized logistics providers, particularly those with operations in the eastern half of the US (as the flow of product into the US may shift from China/Asia to Central/South America) including:
- Drayage
- Customs handling
- Cross-border warehousing
- Final-mile delivery
