Our researchers analyzed the market research and growth 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.
The adoption of multidimensional defense logistics is notably driving the PLS market growth. The governments of many countries have military bases in other countries for peace-supporting and mission-accomplishing operations. The multidimensional defense logistics model helps them maintain these bases. In this model, the base country receives logistics support from the domestic defense logistics player in the host country. For instance, the Italian government supports the US in peacekeeping operations.
This model is also used for mission-fulfilling operations. The adoption of a multidimensional defense logistics model by many countries will increase the opportunities for defense logistics in host countries. Such factors are expected to fuel the growth of the global Palletized Load System (PLS) market during the forecast period.
Electrified trailer technologies are a key trend influencing the PLS market growth. The need for efficiency and sustainability has led to the emergence of solutions such as electrification, including hybridization, solar power, and optimizing the efficiency of incumbent technology. For instance, Carrier Transicold is a fully autonomous, all-electric engineless trailer system. Schmitz Cargobull has used electrification for refrigerated trailers. It features an electric cooling unit and an electronically controlled generator axle, which includes energy recovery.
Electrified trailer technologies help reduce emissions and noise pollution. Electrification technologies are scalable for refrigerated van applications suitable for supermarket home deliveries to multi-wheel tractor units. For instance, in 2020, Tesco PLC added 30 new zero-emission electric vans equipped with the new Thermo King E-200 refrigeration units to its fleet. Such factors are expected to support the growth of the global Palletized Load System (PLS) market during the forecast period.
An increase in operational costs for fleet operators may impede the PLS market growth. The volatility in crude oil prices has an impact on transportation costs, which reduces the profitability of fleet operators. For instance, from September 2018 to September 2021, crude oil prices in India increased by about 30%. The prices of fuels such as diesel and petrol are increasing due to the rise in crude oil prices.
Due to the rise in fuel prices, fleet operators increasingly charge customers to maintain profits. However, they are also under pressure from customers to reduce rates, which creates pricing pressure. Moreover, the unavailability of drivers has increased the logistics and operational costs for sellers and retailers. Such factors are expected to increase the operational costs of fleet operators. This, in turn, will restrict the growth of the global Palletized Load System (PLS) market during the forecast period.
