The transportation segment was the largest segment and was valued at USD 28.57 billion in 2018. In the retail and e-commerce sectors, particularly for consumer electronics, effective logistics is essential to ensure timely delivery and customer satisfaction. Two primary types of logistics are conventional and e-commerce. Conventional logistics deals with the transportation and storage of goods for businesses with physical retail locations. E-commerce logistics, on the other hand, focuses on the delivery of products directly to consumers. Hence, such factors are fuelling the growth of this segment during the forecast period.
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.
Growing e-commerce propels demand for logistics services is notably driving market growth. In Southeast Asia, particularly in Thailand, the expanding e-commerce sector and rising consumer spending have led to a significant evolution in logistics. This digital transformation has brought about an increase in demand for logistics space and revolutionized the supply chain.
Sensor technologies, such as IoT-enabled devices, are increasingly being adopted in healthcare and pharmaceutical logistics to ensure temperature control and real-time monitoring. Fourth-Party Logistics (4PL) providers are playing a crucial role in managing complex logistics operations for e-commerce companies, overseeing both inbound and outbound logistics. Thus, such factors are driving the growth of the market during the forecast period.
Use of blockchain with logistics is the key trend in the market. Blockchain technology, a secure and decentralized digital ledger, is revolutionizing the logistics industry by enhancing transparency and enabling efficient tracking of goods throughout the supply chain.
Each block in this technology contains encrypted information and a reference to the previous block, ensuring data integrity and security. In logistics, this innovation increases operational visibility and allows for effective product tracking. The records stored in the blocks detail the involved stakeholders and specific product information associated with each movement. Thus, such trends will shape the growth of the market during the forecast period.
Increased lead time and supply-demand imbalance is the major challenge that affects the growth of the market. The pandemic's impact on global supply chains has led to increased pressure on transportation and logistics resources. Disruptions in last-mile fulfillment services, supply-demand imbalances, and labor shortages are major challenges facing the transport and logistics industry. Domestic transportation services have also been affected, with an imbalance between incoming and outgoing freight in restricted areas further complicating matters.
The limited workforce and reduced working hours have also restrained logistics activities. In the context of the market, logistics automation and multi-modal systems are becoming increasingly important for companies to ensure efficient last-mile deliveries. Telecommunication plays a crucial role in enabling omnichannel operations for trade and transportation, particularly in the media and entertainment industries. Hence, the above factors will impede the growth of the market during the forecast period.
