“Integration of AI, Blockchain, and Automation in Trade Compliance”
- A significant trend shaping the global trade management market is the growing integration of artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain, and robotic process automation (RPA) into global trade operations.
- These technologies are revolutionizing trade workflows by automating manual compliance checks, predicting disruptions, and providing secure, transparent tracking of shipments across international borders.
- For instance, In February 2025, Maersk and IBM expanded their blockchain-powered platform TradeLens across major European ports, enabling automated data sharing and real-time tracking of container movements, which significantly reduced clearance times and improved customs compliance accuracy.
- Additionally, AI-powered analytics platforms are being used to optimize tariff classification, screen for trade embargoes, and improve supply chain forecasting — ultimately enhancing operational efficiency and compliance accuracy.
