The growth of e-commerce startups is notably driving the market growth. Due to the expansion in digital payment modes, low-cost and faster mobile Internet connections, and growing comfort with shopping online among people, the e-commerce industry is expanding significantly. The thriving e-commerce industry is encouraging the growth of e-commerce startups. A large number of e-commerce startups are emerging in developing economies such as India, Brazil, and Mexico. However, more venture capitalists (VCs) are investing in e-commerce startups, and enterprises are adopting digital technologies for business expansion.
For instance, in March 2021, GoPuff, a delivery channel, and Klarna, a buy-now-pay-later service, raised over USD 1 billion in funding to boost their existing operations and expansion plans. Similarly, in June 2020, a startup in Indonesia, Ula, raised USD 10.5 million as financing for business expansion in the region. Therefore, with the growth in the number of e-commerce startups, the requirement for these services will grow, thereby driving market growth during the forecast period.
Growing demand for logistics fulfilment centres is an emerging trend shaping the market growth. The rapid growth is driving both the global market and increasing the complexities in handling supply chain operations as well. Customers are looking for highly customized products, which results in the expansion of stock-keeping units (SKUs) and other data-handling intricacies in inventory management. A fulfilment centre is a location where manufacturers send products, where they are stored by third-party logistics companies, which later export them to customers after processing. As fulfilment centres are largely associated with the e-commerce industry, they provide affordable and scalable solutions for storage and other operations.
For instance, 3PL companies such as Deutsche Post, FedEx, and UPS are growing their footprint by establishing fulfilment centres. Consequently, the conventional warehouse and distribution centres are changing into mega fulfilment centres. For instance, in July 2021, Amazon India had over 60 fulfilment hubs and over 25 speciality sites devoted to Amazon Fresh products, which include groceries, everyday necessities, and consumables. These factors are anticipated to drive market growth during the forecast period.
A growing number of cargo thefts is a significant challenge hindering the market growth. Globally, cargo theft is a rising problem and impacts businesses and consumers badly. The emergence of globalization has facilitated businesses to expand their reach and deliver their products in different parts of the world. Nevertheless, this may lead to the cargo being stolen at any point between its dispatch after manufacturing and its delivery to the customer, consequently compromising its integrity and availability. Also, cargo theft can be the result of corrupt employees removing goods during transport or while receiving shipments. The most stolen commodities are food and beverage shipments, followed by manufacturing materials and consumer goods.
However, most of the cargo thefts in Europe happen owing to the lack of secure parking space for cargo trucks. Countries such as the UK and Germany lack a sufficient number of secure parking locations, which leads to an increase in cargo thefts. Hence, the growing number of cargo thefts will impact the profitability and brand image of companies, which will subsequently affect the growth of the global market during the forecast period.

The transportation segment was the largest segment and was valued at USD 23.01 billion in 2017. The transportation services for cross-border e-commerce logistics are outsourced because these are highly capital-intensive and need a high level of expertise. Additionally, logistics service providers deliver different value-added transportation solutions, such as contract logistics, freight forwarding, cargo insurance, network planning, and network optimizing services. Another major part of the e-commerce industry is reverse logistics which involves the return management of the goods delivered, including inventory management and route planning. This leads to high logistics costs. The return rate is more than one-third of the total cross-border e-commerce logistics transactions in the global cross-border e-commerce logistics market.
