This chapter analyses the changing dynamics in the industry, with a focus on trends that are influencing the expansion of existing and emerging gateway markets. 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. It also describes inland ports that have emerged close to transportation infrastructure and that are expected to become attractive locations for warehouse/distribution activities. The projects include satellite marine terminals, logistic and intermodal parks, airports, and network corridors.
