Global gateway ports are a key element of the larger U.S. freight distribution system, including air, rail, trucking, and inland freight hubs. It provides an overview of major U.S. industrial markets and clusters that are notable distribution centres. These markets are established, global gateway ports. In general, the highly populated markets command premium prices. Markets are presented in the order of existing industrial square feet. Investment in these markets may provide opportunities to capitalize on increasing global logistics operations.
