Executive Summary
The logistics market is expected to experience a significant growth rate of 5.6% from 2023 to 2032 owing increase in penetration of Internet of things (IoT) in the logistics sector.Logistics is widely known as the process of coordinating and moving resources, such as equipment, food, liquids, inventory, materials, and people, from one location to the storage at the desired destination. It is the management of the flow of goods from one point of origin to the point of consumption, to meet the requirements of customers. Logistics management focuses on the efficiency and effective management of daily activities concerning the production of the company’s finished goods and services.
This type of management forms a part of the supply chain management; and plans, implements, & controls the efficient, effective forward, reverse flow, and storage of goods. Logistics mainly comprises various services such as Third-Party Logistics (3PL), Fourth-Party Logistics (4PL), inbound logistics, outbound logistics, reverse logistics, green logistics, construction logistics, digital logistics, military logistics, and other logistics services.
Furthermore, Increase in penetration of Internet of things (IoT) in the logistics sector enables freight companies and consumers to direct access to the company network via the internet. The logistics infrastructure is constantly upgraded to meet the need. Surge in use of artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, radio-frequency identification (RFID), and Bluetooth coupled with other newly introduced technologies, such as drone delivery and driverless vehicles, is being witnessed in logistics services. These growing technological advancements act as the catalyst to the growth of the logistics market size. In addition, some of the logistics companies across the globe have increased their spending and are using technologically advanced systems for logistics enhancement, which are further expected to propel the growth of the logistics market. For instance, SimpliRoute, an urban logistics solution, raised the $3 million funding to improve its AI-powered logistics platform. The new funding is expected to help the startup to grow its logistics intelligence platform and expand to other countries besides Mexico, Chile, Peru, and Uruguay. In addition, AT&T provides Internet of Things (IoT) solutions for Honeywell’s transport and logistics offerings internationally in countries across Europe, North America, Latin America, Asia, Africa, and Australia.
However, logistics demands good infrastructure, supply chain, and trade facilitation. Without these, firms must build up more stock reserves and working capital, which can strongly affect national and regional competitiveness due to high financial costs. In addition, lack of infrastructure hinders the logistics market as it increases costs and reduces supply chain reliability.
The key factors driving the growth of the logistics market include growth in the e-commerce industry coupled with a rise in reverse logistics operations and surge in trade-related agreements fuel the market growth. In addition, the rise of tech-driven logistics services and an upsurge in adoption of IoT-enabled connected devices are expected to drive the market growth. However, lack of control of manufacturers on logistics service, poor infrastructure, and higher logistics costs hinder the market growth. Furthermore, the emergence of last mile deliveries, logistics automation, and cost cutting & lead time reduction due to adoption of multi-modal system are some of the factors that are anticipated to foster market growth.
