The growing automotive industry is one of the key factors driving the growth of the global finished vehicle logistics market. The automotive industry is witnessing significant growth globally owing to a rise in automobile sales, especially in countries such as Brazil. The growth in the population is leading to the need for automobiles for convenient travel, which is driving the market growth. Some of the major automobile-producing countries are China, the US, Japan, Germany, and India.
Thus, as the production of automobiles increases, there will be a rise in the need for finished vehicle logistics for transporting and warehousing these vehicles from the manufacturing plant to dealer showrooms. Hence, it will lead to the growth of the market focus during the forecast period. Therefore, the growth of the automotive industry is expected to fuel the growth of the global finished vehicles logistics (FVL) market during the forecast period.
The emergence of electric vehicles will fuel the global finished vehicle logistics market growth. Many end-users of vehicles are focusing on improving fuel efficiency and operational costs. This has led to the emergence of electric vehicles, which include hybrid and fully electric vehicles. Electric vehicles are considered an economical alternative to traditional ICE (internal combustion engine) vehicles. Electric vehicles also reduce pollution levels.
Moreover, these vehicles release significantly less (50% less) greenhouse gases when compared with ICE vehicles. Owing to such benefits, many consumers are shifting their focus to electric vehicles (EVs). For example, in July 2019, Nissan Motor Co. Ltd. (Nissan Motor) started delivering its Leaf EV in Australia and South America. The cars are exported from Nissan Motor's plant in Sunderland, UK. Such a rise in the production and export of EVs will eventually lead to an increase in the demand for efficient finished vehicle logistics during the forecast period.
The shortage of truck drivers is a major challenge for the global finished vehicles logistics market growth. Many drivers in the trucking industry are on the verge of retirement, and only a limited number of truckers are entering the profession. The shortage of drivers is mainly attributed to the low remunerations for drivers in most urban and semi-urban markets in various countries. Furthermore, truck drivers are expected to work approximately 70 hours a week and live away from home for weeks, which can affect their health and lifestyle.
Moreover, many truck drivers face minor to major illnesses. The shortage of drivers means that fewer goods can be moved in a timely fashion, which hinders companies from selling more. This can pose a challenge to the end-users of finished vehicles. The shortage of drivers is already leading to delays in orders and making goods more expensive as the freight rates continue to increase. Such factors can eventually restrict the growth of the finished vehicle logistics market.
