UK e-fulfilment: Market Insight Report 2021

This market covers the provision of fulfilment services to UK internet retailers.

• It includes both pure play on-line and multi-channel/store-based retailers.
• It also includes both outsourced fulfilment and fulfilment activities carried out by the retailer

It does not include fulfilment of purely digital products such as software, travel tickets or music and video via electronic downloads. It also excludes grocery, for which there are distinct supply chains operated in-house by the major chains and on-line specialist, Ocado.
