Our researchers analyzed the data with 2023 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
NGOs and governments partnering with logistics businesses to reduce logistical risks are the key factors driving market growth. Collaborations or partnerships between aid agencies and logistics providers can be casual, one-time, or contractual agreements. Such partnerships have increasingly become important as they offer various advantages for both parties, namely businesses and humanitarian aid agencies. The advantages for a business entity are that such collaborations increase the brand name of the company.
Moreover, the growing importance of corporate social responsibility (CSR) has also increased the number of such collaborations. However, for a humanitarian aid agency, aid agencies need to utilize the resources offered by logistics providers that may not be affordable. Thus, NGOs and governments are increasingly partnering with logistics businesses to reduce logistical risks that will drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.
Increased access to 3D printing helps in reducing logistics lead times is the key factor driving market growth. Due to qualities such as portability and affordability, 3D printing is increasingly being used in the disaster relief logistics industry. Aligned with market trends and analysis, 3D printing is utilized to create goods such as prosthetic limbs, utensils, buckets, medical disposables, and other items that are frequently required by persons trapped in disaster zones. As a result, the necessity for delivering supplies to disaster zones is greatly decreased, lowering both cost and time.
For example, during a disaster relief effort in a disaster-affected area, a part of a vehicle may break down and need to be replaced. 3D printers can assist in the printing of these parts. Thus, such events are intended to encourage assistance agencies to operate 3D printers in disaster-stricken areas to manufacture tools and equipment as and when demand arises. Hence, the increased access to 3D printing helps reduce logistics lead times and will drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.
Lack of experienced personnel in disaster relief operations is a major challenge that affects market growth. Due to the requirement for effective and thorough planning, experienced logistics personnel are usually employed at disaster sites. Nevertheless, resources required to transfer supplies are not readily available in disaster-affected areas, which can create a problem. However, due to the lack of thorough planning, it was realized later that there was a scarcity of people to assemble these toilets. Furthermore, there was a lack of resources to transport these toilets to the affected sites.
Moreover, there are not many institutes available that can train people in humanitarian logistics. Even if there are institutes available, not many opt for courses or training as the job of humanitarian logistics personnel is not as safe and highly rewarding when compared with other careers. Limitations such as the unwillingness of people to offer aid to disaster-affected sites due to the risks involved, such as the potential danger of losing their lives and the lack of experienced personnel, are anticipated to impede market growth during the forecast period.

Relief is similar to aid; however, in the case of relief supplies, it is carried out on an urgent basis. Relief supplies are provided immediately after disaster strikes, whereas aid supplies can take time. Aid and relief supplies can be offered through various modes of transportation. Aid and relief supplies can be delivered domestically to states within the country or to other countries.
