Summary
REPORT HIGHLIGHT
Third-Party Logistics (3PL) Market was valued at USD 720.9 billion by 2018, growing with 6.9% CAGR during the forecast period, 2020-2026
Market Dynamics
Third-party logistics (3PL) is used by manufacturers, retailers, and whole sellers as an effective means of managing their logistics as opposed to having their own logistics. A 3PL company that manages logistics has proven to be comparatively more profitable as compared to a company-owned network. The core reason that drives this industry is the fact that companies want to increasingly improve their core competency. Logistics by itself can be a time-consuming affair and demands expertise and experience. Therefore, it ends up draining time and money for companies that manage their own logistics.
Outsourcing logistic calls for a smoother transaction, cost savings due to reduced staff & infrastructure and better risk assessment and troubleshooting issues by professionals who are experts. Based on data published on ‘2019 THIRD-PARTY LOGISTICS STUDY’ – it was identified that around 73% of 3PL end-users and additionally 91% of 3PL providers agree that this technology provides novel and inventive ways to improve logistics efficacy. The need for better inventory management and risk management lays demand on third party logistics. A major market restraint is the manufacturers lack direct control in the logistics framework, thus having to entirely rely on the 3PL.
Service Takeaway
This industry is categorized into Domestic Transportation Management, Dedicated Contract Carriage, Warehousing & Distribution, Value Added Logistics Services and International Transportation Management. Owing to overall growth in international trade and manufacturing capabilities, the domestic and international transportation management systems are witnessing a surge.
Based on data published on the Indian Brand Equity Foundation (October 2019), The estimated value of services export for April-August 2019 stood at USD 89.52 billion and import is USD 57 billion. This growth is exemplary to boost that transportation management systems will witness in the upcoming years. The industry of value-added logistics is anticipated to spearhead growth owing to the demand for auxiliary services such as labelling systems, packaging, and sequencing technologies. Dedicated Contract Carriage (DCC) is another fast-growing segment that is associated with major retail giants. Companies are slowly transitioning from owning entire fleets to shifting towards DDC.
End-use takeaway
The end-user can be subcategorized as retail, healthcare, manufacturing and automotive. Among these segments, manufacturing holds the largest market share owing to the sheer size of the logistics involved. As per research published by the Indian Brand Equity Foundation, investments in Indian manufacturing capabilities have been increasing thus boosting this industry further.
According to the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (Feb 2019), the world manufacturing capabilities have risen by 3.6%. The retail market is projected to be one of the fastest-growing segments concerning the end-use. Increase in digital start-ups, and technology-based advancements have improved the retail sector demand. Based on a study published in “E-commerce retail logistics in India” (May 2018), the E-commerce industry stood at USD 19.5 billion worth of transactions at a gross level. E-commerce growth will also fuel this segment further.
Transportation takeaway
Based on transportation, 3PL logistics is categorized into roadways, railways, airways and waterways. Roadways continue to dominate the market for 3PL. Roadways are in demand owing to its excellent connectivity. Improvement in infrastructure in developing countries further strengthens this segment. Countries are investing a huge chunk of their budget on roadways infrastructure.
As per an article published in the Economic Times (May 2019), railways and roadways are expected to get the highest portion of investments in India. Although currently, airfreight was in witnessing an 8-month decline as in August 2019, based on data published by the International Air Transport Association, the air freight segment is expected to grow in the future.
Regional Takeaway
Due to an extensive demand for manufacturing potential in south Asian countries, the Asia Pacific region dominates the 3PL industry. Improved investments in developing countries like India & China further give impetus to the growth of this industry. Growth in logistics infrastructure and tech-enabled start-ups will drive the growth of logistics in India based on an article published in the Indian Brand Equity Foundation (May 2018).
North American region is expected to witness continued growth in the coming years. An article in Economic times (Jan 2018) stated that the implementation of GST (Goods & Services Tax) in India has resulted in a reduction of overall logistics costs thereby improving the scope of growth for 3PL.
