Our take
The global freight industry is massive, with estimates of its size ranging from $8T to $12T annually. Freight forwarding — the process of organising how and where items will be shipped around the world, and specifically the technology that underpins that work — continues to be a huge area of the logistics market.
Sennder, a digital freight forwarder focused on transporting cargo around Europe, is working towards becoming one of the biggest players in the European market. Sennder's current strategy, following major funding, is to expand rapidly, building upon existing expansions including Cars&Cargo, Uber Freight Europe and Everoad.
Although it is one of the most well-funded of the freight forwarders, Sennder will face direct competition in Europe from the likes of Zencargo, as well as international pressure from international giants such as the US' Flexport. To keep ahead in the market, Sennder has focused on scaling its operations through strategic acquisitions like C.H. Robinson's European unit, expanding its digital capabilities through its proprietary sennOS platform, and strengthening its network density to deliver faster, more sustainable, and cost-efficient logistics across the continent.
