Key Drivers, Trends and Challenges

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.

Market Driver

Premiumization of goods and merchandise delivery is the key factor driving market growth. Premiumization in the logistic services refers to the premium price paid by the customer for faster deliveries. The focus on premiumization is evident from the increase in the number of last-mile/same-day delivery startups, such as Dropoff, in the US over the past few years. It has been identified that about one-fourth of online retail customers are willing to pay a considerable premium over the standard delivery charges for the same-day or instant delivery of purchased goods.

Moreover, the trend is witnessed more among younger customers and millennials. The key product segments that are currently witnessing the fastest growth rate for last-mile deliveries include medical/pharmaceutical products and agricultural produce, which require immediate consumption or are perishable goods. In the case of medical products, the time window for delivery can be extremely short during emergencies. As a result, consumers pay a higher price services. All of these factors make the market lucrative and are expected to drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.

Market Trends

A strong focus on offering services to specific end-user segments is the primary trend shaping market growth. Logistics services companies have started operating new logistics supply models for the medical and pharmaceutical sectors as a response to the growing challenges in the healthcare industry. These include the rising cost pressures on medical devices due to the growing demand from the aging and active population. For instance, DHLs supply chain arm has introduced advanced logistics solutions for the medical industry, which bring together field inventory, valuable medical devices, and quality management systems at a single location for maintaining better traceability and control. 

In addition, this model reduces the need to actively maintain and operate a large stock of medical devices. All critical devices are provided on the last mile and same-day delivery bases. This supply chain model is already being utilized by major medical device players across North America and is expected to drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.

Market Challenge

The introduction of alternate delivery services is a challenge that affects market growth. Some of the upcoming alternatives services are locker services and click-and-collect services, which are being introduced by major online retailers. Amazon offers the Amazon Locker service, which offers convenient alternative delivery points. These lockers can be accessed by customers by means of an unlock code. This enables companies to eliminate issues related to packaging drop timings and product safety. The Amazon Locker service has been expanded to several major US cities and is accessible to customers throughout the day for added convenience.

Furthermore, online retailers and logistics companies have introduced the concept of click-and-collect, wherein the merchandise is dropped in an offline store, post office, gas station, or convenience store located in the vicinity of the customer. This allows the retailer to easily ship multiple packages to a single location, reducing operational costs and challenges. Thus, these alternate delivery methods will pose a threat to the growth of the market during the forecast period.
