Emerging players

• FreightWaves: A digital freight and logistics media and data platform providing news, market intelligence, and data products to the freight industry. Comparable to ITJ in audience and content focus, but differentiates through data, SaaS, and multimedia-enabled digital products.
• Container News: A digital trade publication covering the container shipping, port, and intermodal industry. Comparable to ITJ's Shipping & Ports and Intermodal/Road verticals as a B2B digital media outlet serving freight professionals.
• Supply Chain Management Review: A US-based B2B publication covering supply chain, logistics, and transportation management. Comparable to ITJ in covering the broader transport/logistics media space, though with a more supply chain management orientation.
• Air Cargo News: A specialist publication covering air freight and air cargo industry news. Comparable to ITJ's Air Freight vertical as a B2B niche trade media outlet, but with a narrower air-only focus.

Regional players

• Logistics Manager: A UK-based B2B magazine covering logistics, supply chain, and freight management. Comparable to ITJ in audience and content verticals, but primarily serving the UK market rather than multilingual European coverage.
• Stat Times: An India-based air cargo and logistics media outlet covering South Asian and global freight markets. Comparable to ITJ's Air Freight vertical, but with a regional South Asian focus rather than European multilingual coverage.

Direct peers

• Transport Topics: A leading North American B2B transport publication covering trucking, freight, and logistics. Comparable to ITJ as a B2B trade media brand serving the transport industry, though primarily focused on road/trucking rather than multimodal coverage.
• Lloyd's List: One of the world's most established shipping and maritime trade publications, covering ocean freight, ports, and shipping markets. Highly comparable to ITJ as a B2B trade media outlet serving the transport/logistics industry, albeit with a stronger maritime focus and English-language base.
• The Loadstar: A leading digital-first news publication covering the global freight forwarding, container shipping, and logistics industry. Comparable to ITJ in target audience (transport/logistics professionals) and business model (B2B advertising-supported media), but with a stronger digital-native footprint.
• DVZ (Deutsche Verkehrs-Zeitung): Germany's leading transport and logistics trade newspaper covering road, rail, ocean, and air freight. The closest German-language peer to ITJ given overlapping coverage, audience, and similar trade-publication business model.
