Although there has been a disruption in the growth of the market during the COVID-19 pandemic, a holistic analysis of drivers, trends, and challenges will help companies refine marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
Key Driver
The growth of e-commerce industry is one of the key drivers supporting the logistics market share. The sharp rise in online sales globally, and the rising adoption of e-commerce have become one of the major market drivers in the global logistics sector. To improve the overall customer experience, technology has been incorporated into logistics operations, such as warehouse automation, route optimization, and real-time tracking of shipments. Logistics companies are extending their services to satisfy evolving customer demands as the e-commerce market expands.
E-commerce enterprises need a variety of logistics services, such as shipping, warehousing, and last-mile delivery, and as a result, specialist logistics firms with an e-commerce-only focus have emerged. The growth of the e-commerce sector has created new markets and opportunities for logistics service providers, as well as made it possible for them to offer cross-border shipping and fulfillment services. Thus, the increase in the e-commerce industry is expected to drive the growth of the global logistics market during the forecast period.
Significant Trends
Sustainability and green logistics are the key logistics market trends fueling market growth. Sustainability is becoming more important to the logistics sector as the focus is on reducing carbon footprint and supporting green practices. To reduce CO2 emissions, logistics companies are investing in green technologies such as electric and hybrid trucks and sustainable supply chain processes. Two key market trends in the global logistics sector are sustainability and green logistics. The term sustainability describes our ability to meet current needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. In the context of the logistics industry, it is important to find approaches that reduce the environmental impact of logistics processes while meeting customer needs. This includes reducing greenhouse gas emissions, using renewable energy sources, and reducing waste generation.
Since more and more customers are looking for environmentally friendly solutions, businesses that prioritize sustainability in their logistics operations are likely to have a competitive edge. The goal of green logistics, on the other hand, is to minimize the negative effects of logistical activities on the environment. Using alternative fuel vehicles, streamlining transportation routes, and employing more effective packaging materials are a few examples of how to do this. Green supply chain management methods, such as selecting suppliers who value sustainability and collaborating with them to minimize the environmental impact of the entire supply chain, are also included in the concept of green logistics. Thus, sustainability and green logistics are expected to drive the growth of the global logistics market during the forecast period.
Major Challenge
Increasing competition in the logistics market is one of the factors hindering the logistics market growth. Several successful companies are trying to capture market share in the highly competitive global logistics business. If logistics companies want to remain competitive, they must invest in technology and innovation, improve supply chain effectiveness, and provide value-added services to their customers. This business requires a lot of investment, so smaller players may struggle to compete with larger, established companies. One of the biggest market challenges is fierce competition in the global logistics business.
Due to the influx of numerous new companies brought about by globalization, the market is now more competitive than ever. These new competitors are placing pressure on established firms to stay competitive by providing a range of services, including shipping, warehousing, and supply chain management, at lower costs and with greater efficiency. Furthermore, a lot of new companies have been able to enter the market because of the quick development of technology, making it even harder for established firms to keep up. Hence, such factors are expected to hamper the growth of the global logistics market during the forecast period.

Therefore, players in this industry are investing large amounts of money in the development of new products to keep pace with the competition. New product developments help them extend their product portfolio and help them gain a competitive edge over their rivals. Such developments will generate the need for logistics services to transport products from manufacturing facilities to stores. Hence, the growth of the personal care segment of the consumer goods industry will concurrently propel the growth of the global logistics market during the forecast period.
Mode Of Transportation Segment Analysis
Based on mode of transportation, the market has been segmented into roadways, waterways, railways, and airways. The roadways segment will account for the largest share of this segment. The roadways segment of the global logistics market includes a range of different services, such as full truckload (FTL) and less than truckload (LTL) services, which refer to the transportation of goods in either a full truckload or a partial truckload. FTL services are typically used for large shipments, while LTL services are used for smaller shipments. The e-commerce segment is one of the key drivers of the road segment in terms of domestic transportation leg and last-mile logistics.

The logistics market in APAC is expected to grow due to the presence of a large consumer base for both food and beverage and healthcare product suppliers. With the rise in disposable incomes and the growing aging population in countries such as Japan and China, the expenditure on healthcare in this region is witnessing strong growth rates. This is resulting in an increase in demand for temperature-controlled healthcare products such as biopharmaceuticals, vaccines, and clinical trial materials. Moreover, increased demand for organic food products due to the availability of certified organic dairy products and the rising health consciousness among consumers in countries such as China, Australia, and New Zealand are fueling the demand for cold chain logistics from the healthcare and food industries, as it helps maintain the shelf life as well as the quality of these products. Such benefits of cold chain logistics will increase its demand, which, in turn, will lead to the growth of the logistics market in this region during the forecast period.

The logistics market in the region was negatively impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak in the region in 2020. However, with the gradual recovery of economies from the COVID-19 crisis due to the resumption of activities and the adoption of e-commerce models by various end-user industries, including the automotive industry, the regional logistics market is expected to grow during the forecast period.
