Contract Logistics Market in US: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges

The growth in the e-commerce market in the US is notably driving the contract logistics market growth in the US, although factors such as increased lead time and supply-demand imbalance may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the contract logistics industry in the US. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.

Key Contract Logistics Market Driver in US

One of the key factors driving the contract logistics market growth in the US is the growth in the e-commerce market in the US. For instance, according to the Census Bureau of the Department of Commerce, in the third quarter of 2021, e-commerce sales increased 6.6% from the third quarter of 2020, while total retail sales increased 13.1% in the same period. With the outbreak of COVID-19, there has been an increase in the growth of the e-retail industry, which has created the demand for contract logistics service providers serving electronics, fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG), pharmaceuticals, and food and beverage industries. Big brands, such as Puma and Adidas, have many packages to be shipped per day. According to a recent survey by Accenture and GEODIS (of 200 large retail & consumer goods brands), vendors expect the shift to online sales on their websites. This shift is expected to remain even after the pandemic subsides and is anticipated to create opportunities for contract logistics vendors in the next five years.

Key Contract Logistics Market Trend in US

Another key factor driving the contract logistics market growth in the US is the emergence of big data analytics to derive meaningful insights from large quantities of data and gain a competitive advantage in the market. Implementing big data analytics solutions enables companies to derive insights to power strategic planning initiatives that include customizing services, accelerating market demand, and implementing a new business model based on agility. Furthermore, advanced real-time processing and predictive techniques promise to enhance the accuracy of capacity forecast and resource control. Big data also provides real-time analytics and aids in the end-to-end visibility in the supply chain, and therefore, allows the logistics companies to act quickly on the potential loss of revenues and profits margins that might occur at various points in the supply chain. Such factors are expected to support the market growth during the forecast period.

Key Contract Logistics Market Challenge in US

One of the key challenges to the contract logistics market growth in the US is the increased lead time and supply-demand imbalance. Other factors such as limited workforces and reduced working time have further restrained the logistics activities. Domestic transportation services have also been affected by the pandemic-induced restrictions, as there has been an imbalance between incoming and outgoing freight in the restricted areas. Furthermore, contract logistics vendors have been facing complications due to changing norms in different states and countries, which resulted in delayed lead time. Such factors are expected to limit the growth of the market in focus in the forecast period.
