ARC Advisory Group, a global research and advisory firm, has published its 2024 China Transportation Management System (TMS) Market Report. The report reviews the state of China's TMS market, its trends and its competitors.
Deep Insights' KJ TMS Cloud ranks No. 1 by market share in China.
The report puts China's TMS market at about RMB 1.87 billion in 2024, rising to RMB 3.38 billion by 2029, a CAGR of 12.5%. Growth is driven by e-commerce, manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, 3PL and other sectors.
Why KJ TMS Cloud leads
Deep industry know-how that solves real problems
KJ has deep experience in manufacturing, retail and consumer goods, and integrated logistics. Together with a flexible architecture, smart algorithms built into the product, and the ability to handle complex operations, this lets it deliver mature, proven solutions for high-volume, complex transport operations.
In automotive, for example, common problems include gaps in inbound logistics information, reliance on third-party systems for finished-vehicle logistics, and weak monitoring of aftermarket parts. KJ TMS Cloud helps carmakers build a single transport dispatch hub that they control, covering inbound and outbound, finished vehicles and aftermarket. The system delivers business value soon after go-live instead of becoming another IT system nobody uses.
Lower total cost of ownership
According to the report, KJ TMS Cloud can save customers 60% on hardware and shorten implementation to 2–8 weeks, reducing disruption and cutting both upfront and running costs. It supports public, private and hybrid cloud, and scales computing and storage up or down as needed. This avoids the slowdowns older systems suffer during sudden peaks.
Innovation in line with market trends
ARC highlights several trends that match KJ's direction:
- Visibility: real-time visibility is now essential. KJ TMS Cloud combines AI and IoT for route optimization, real-time monitoring and dynamic dispatch, from raw material sourcing to final delivery.
- Integration: KJ Cloud merged with Gillion, which also has more than 20 years in supply chain digitalization, to form Deep Insights. This brought together KJ's cloud-native platform and Gillion's shipping, forwarding and multimodal experience.
- Sustainability: load optimization combines scattered shipments to cut empty miles, and route optimization plans the shortest or lowest-emission routes to save fuel.
Behind the No. 1 position is steady innovation: an early, complete move to SaaS, in-house optimization algorithms, and machine learning, IoT and large language models now built into the product for prediction, dynamic dispatch and automated decisions.
As Deep Insights pursues its AI-driven and international strategies, KJ TMS Cloud will keep leading China's TMS market toward greater efficiency, intelligence and sustainability.
