The rapid development of global logistics systems and the intensification of competition in transport markets have significantly increased the importance of marketing research in freight transportation. This article examines the role and effectiveness of organizing marketing research as a strategic management tool in freight transport enterprises. The study emphasizes that well-structured marketing research enables transport companies to better understand market demand, customer preferences, pricing dynamics, and competitive conditions, thereby improving decision-making and operational efficiency. Based on statistical data from the National Statistics Committee of Uzbekistan for the period 2020–2024, the article analyzes trends in cargo volumes, cargo turnover, passenger flows, and the modal structure of transportation. The results reveal stable growth in  freight transportation, the dominant role of road transport, and the gradual expansion of rail and air transport, particularly for high-value and time-sensitive cargo. These structural changes highlight the necessity of systematic market analysis and data-driven strategic planning. The findings demonstrate that effective organization of marketing research transforms raw statistical and market data into actionable managerial insights.
