August 11, 2026 — The global free trade zone and bonded warehouse logistics services market is valued at USD 19.9 billion in 2026, is forecast to reach USD 38.4 billion by 2036, and is projected to grow at a 6.8% CAGR during 2026–2036, according to Fact.MR.

The market is growing because importers need better control over duty timing, inventory release, and cross-border distribution. Customs-controlled warehouses allow companies to defer duties and hold goods until the right time for release. Free trade zones also support storage, consolidation, redistribution, repacking, and other value-added logistics activities.
