The global event logistics market size was valued at $68 billion in 2023, and is projected to reach $123.8 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 6.5% from 2024 to 2033.
Event logistics include planning, coordination, and implementation of all logistical elements essential for a successful event. The market includes handling transportation, setting up equipment, choosing the venue, managing materials, and overseeing on-site activities. Effective logistics ensure that people, resources, and materials are arranged and delivered punctually. Moreover, key components of the market include managing schedules, working with suppliers, overseeing inventory, and preparing for unexpected issues. Logistics are vital for smooth execution for a business conference, music concert, trade expo, or sporting event. Modern technologies such as RFID tracking and automated scheduling tools improve efficiency by enhancing communication and resource monitoring.
The global event logistics market is witnessing significant growth, fueled by rise in demand for electric and hybrid-electric aircraft, progress in battery technology, and increasing air traffic. The move toward more fuel-efficient and eco-friendly aviation, along with government support and investments in urban air mobility, is also driving market development and encouraging innovation in battery solutions, further driving the growth of the market. Also, rise in frequency of corporate events, trade fairs, sports competitions, and entertainment shows across the globe, is driving the growth of the market. Technological advancements in logistics, such as real-time tracking, AI-powered supply chain management, and automated warehousing, all of which improve efficiency, also fuel the market growth. For instance, in January 2025, DB Schenker partnered with Sport Event Denmark to enhance the quality of sports events across Denmark and set new standards for excellence in sports event logistics. This strategy focuses on supporting local sports event organizing committees by providing cost-effective, low-risk logistics services tailored to their needs.
However, lack of skilled professionals and technical difficulties involved in implementing threat intelligence solutions hamper the growth of the event logistics market. As event logistics firms increasingly depend on advanced cybersecurity tools to safeguard their digital systems, the lack of cybersecurity specialists hampers effective deployment and management. Qualified experts are essential for analyzing data, setting up systems, and addressing potential threats, but there is a worldwide talent gap in the cybersecurity sector. Moreover, ongoing investments in cutting-edge logistics technologies and sustainability efforts are anticipated to propel the event logistics market growth during the forecast period.
