The sharp rise in U.S. tariffs and ensuing trade tensions in spring 2025 are placing significant strain on the transport sector, especially in areas such as fleet maintenance and logistics. Increased duties on imported commercial vehicles, tires, and engine parts have driven up operating costs for trucking and freight firms, forcing them to either raise shipping rates or accept lower profit margins. Airlines and maritime operators are also under pressure, as tariffs on aircraft components and shipbuilding materials have pushed capital expenditures higher. Meanwhile, retaliatory tariffs in key export markets have weakened demand for U.S.-manufactured transportation equipment, further squeezing revenues. To cope, the industry is turning to fuel efficiency measures, alternative supply sources, and greater automation to manage rising costs while maintaining dependable service.

The auto parts inventory management software market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $6.27 billion in 2024 to $7.15 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.0%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to industry growth and complexity, globalization and supply chain challenges, e-commerce and digital transformation, regulatory compliance and traceability, customer expectations and service excellence.
The auto parts inventory management software market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $11.5 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to IoT and connectivity, integration with autonomous and electric vehicles, increasing number of auto parts retailers, growing complexity of auto parts, increasing online sales of auto parts. Major trends in the forecast period include predictive analytics and machine learning, IoT-driven inventory tracking, blockchain for supply chain transparency, cloud-based solutions for flexibility, integration with autonomous and electric vehicle technologies.
The forecast of 12.6% growth over the next five years reflects a slight reduction of 0.2% from the previous projection.This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. This is likely to directly affect the US through tariffs on servers, network hardware, and embedded system components sourced from Asian countries, resulting in higher infrastructure costs for deploying and maintaining automotive inventory software platforms.The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.
