OneFirmIntelLogistics companies: India vs the USA by the numbers (2026)
June 1, 2026 · OneFirmIntel
Two of the world’s most important freight markets look very different on paper: India’s registry carries more logistics companies than the USA’s, but the tier mix tells the real story.
India’s logistics universe
OneFirmIntel lists 68,373 logistics companies in India, about 40,258 ★★ Established and 28,089 ★ New entrants. The large new-entrant share reflects a fast-growing, fragmented market.
The USA for comparison
The USA shows 41,426 logistics companies on record, with roughly 14,742 ★★ Established and 26,669 ★ New entrants. Different registry coverage and company structures make a straight count misleading, which is exactly why tier grading matters when comparing markets.
