The car shipping industry is bidding 2023 a final farewell on New Year’s Eve, yet in a rather special method. On this occasion, it is time to review how the industry was doing during 2023 and what major events influenced its performance.
First, this year saw significant advancements in various technological innovations with increased interest in employing these innovations in the industry. Analysts have been studying technology’s impact on car shipping, and debates have arisen on whether it will enhance work efficiency and increase revenue in return or decrease demand.
While both viewpoints seem logical, it is fair to say that part of the first theory is what is actually achieved in 2023. Artificial Intelligence has made a significant breakthrough that has raised businesses’ concerns about being replaced by this technology.
However, AI has not developed yet to the level of replacing humans, and companies started to take proactive procedures in responding to challenges posed by AI, mainly through adopting this technology and incorporating it into their work operations. By doing so, car shipping processes became more efficient for companies and easier for clients.
Another trendy topic in the car shipping industry in 2023 was the impact of the auto development on car shipping, especially autonomous vehicles. Several scenarios are developed for the expected future of car shipping when AVs take over. While AVs are sure to reshape the industry, it remains unclear whether they will replace the need for car shippers altogether.
2023 Car Shipping Statistics
In 2023, industry research shows how the car shipping industry has been performing:
- The car shipping industry has seen a decline in revenue by 4.9%, estimated at $9.9 billion as of 2023.

- The number of businesses in the car shipping industry grew by 5.3%, with 5,919 businesses in the United States. It is worth noting that many car shipping companies are encouraged to enter the industry because of its moderate market share concentration.
