Third-party logistics refers to a company's capacity to outsource logistics and distribution activities.

Attributing to the e-commerce industry's growth, the third-party logistics services market is predicted to rise significantly. Furthermore, demand for this service is likely to rise in the near future as manufacturers and retailers focus on their core business (referred to as core competencies) and increasing interest in subcontracting activities such as logistics, which require expertise.

However, post-COVID-19, the industry is on its path to recovery.

Third Party Logistics Market Dynamics

Third Party Logistics Market Driver

  • The key factor that drives the industry growth includes the increased trade activities across the globe. Globalization is fueled by dynamic market conditions and improvements in the global economy. As a result of increased globalization, various trade-related activities have increased. As a result, manufacturers and retailers struggle to maintain track of these operations promptly. Third party logistics services assist these manufacturers in keeping track and controlling these activities. The market is projected to be driven by this aspect. Furthermore, the expansion of the global market is a major driver driving the third-party logistics sector forward. Third party logistics services are becoming increasingly important for price-conscious customers who demand a larger selection of high-quality products delivered on time. As a result, the expansion of the third-party logistics industry is fueled by an increase in trading activities as a result of globalization.

Third Party Logistics Market Restraint

  • The major factor that hinders the growth of the global third-party logistics market includes infrastructure limitations, shortage of logistics experts, and regulatory issues imposed by the government. In comparison to industrialized countries, the development of logistic services in underdeveloped countries tends to struggle. This development is the result of the industry's scarcity of highly skilled professionals. The absence of experienced logistics experts further restricts the market's growth. Similarly, industrialized countries' infrastructure, including China's, is insufficient to match the demand for advanced logistics services. Some warehouses in different nations still use/operate using outdated equipment. The ground infrastructure does not fulfill the requirements for a reliable connection to the logistic hub, preventing modern intermodal logistics activities from being established; which might hinder the market’s growth during the forecast period.
