Warehousing and Transportation is Expected to Dominate the Global Third-party Logistics (3PL) Market
The
third-party logistics model delivers greater asset utilization and asset
sharing alliances, which increases its demand, and contributes toward the
growth of the 3PL market.
According to TechSci
Research report, “Global Third-party Logistics (3PL)
Market - Industry Size, Share, Trends, Competition Forecast &
Opportunities, 2028”.
Global Third-party Logistics (3PL) is anticipated to project robust growth in
the forecast period with a CAGR of 9.9%
through 2028. E-commerce shippers are
increasingly turning to 3PL providers to help them meet changing customer
expectations and deal with supply chain disruption, labor constraints,
transportation issues, inflation, and other challenges that have become the
"new normal" in today's operating environment. As a result, 3PLs are
offering shippers strategic locations, more space to accommodate higher
inventory volumes, and a wider range of delivery options. As the volume of
returns has increased in the last year, e-commerce shippers want to work with
3PLs that can help customers with the returns process. Omni-channel logistics
services are also in high demand, with automation serving as a critical
component of e-commerce fulfillment processes.
The larger 3PLs have
multiple e-commerce operations, such as Geodis, DHL, Ryder, and JD Logistics
(in Asia), to name a few of the larger players. Smaller providers have followed
suit and now offer e-commerce fulfillment as well. In most cases, these 3PLs
have e-commerce fulfillment operations separate from their traditional
business-to-business (B2B) warehousing operations. More 3PLs will be needed in
the future to add value in the last mile of the supply chain, where getting
large and bulky items from the final point of distribution to the customer's
location remains a major challenge. Getting furniture, fitness equipment, and
other large items to customers' doors requires extra planning, especially if
they require quick delivery.

In a competitive and
growing market, the last two years, 2020-22, have taught us that we must be
both flexible and agile. In 2021, unprecedented growth in online retail was
expected, particularly in direct-to-consumer services. The provision of
omnichannel services, in which customers enjoy a unified shopping experience
regardless of channel, is a major focus. This could be done in-store, online,
on mobile, or through social media. Customers now expect a more seamless
experience, lower prices, faster shipping, and a greater emphasis on
sustainability. One of the most difficult challenges has been the extraordinary
demand in the grocery and apparel segments, where one-day deliveries or less
are becoming the norm. There was a global shortage of transport capacity and a
limited supply of delivery drivers in 2021.
Quick commerce is
being adopted by industries such as grocery, pharmaceuticals, and e-commerce.
Companies and brands are replacing traditional business models and distribution
channels with digital platforms to improve their delivery services by leveraging
available technological advancements. This market is typically distinguished by
delivery times of less than 20 minutes. The order size, value, and weight are
typically small(er) and easily transported via two-wheelers, drones, or small
vehicles. The 3PL, on the other hand, has already grown to become an important
stakeholder in the supply chain network. With the growing demand for
resource-backed fulfillment services, such as improved delivery management
software, acute logistics optimization, and increased use of smaller warehouses
in urban areas, reliance on 3PLs will only increase.
With delivery volumes
increasing all over the world, particularly due to the rapid growth of
eCommerce, supply firms are looking for innovative, cost-effective, and efficient
approaches to last-mile delivery. This has resulted in investments and trials
of cutting-edge technology such as driverless cars, delivery bots, and drones.
Aurora (self-driving technology) from Amazon is a prime example.

“.Logistics is the
core area of the third party logistics (3PL) firms and their proficiency in
this areas is always superior to that of the core companies. 3PL firms have the
expertise to keep IT systems updated and deliver the logistic services more
time & cost effectively along with this they own the ability to meet the
technical requirements. Moreover, 3PL firms also help to reduce inventory cost
and can strategize to reduce a company’s overall shipping & delivery costs
as well. The core companies may not have that time or expertise to keep logistic
services and systems updated. The company often face challenges meeting timely
delivery of products during high business growth. Outsourcing logistic function
from a third party is helpful for core companies as these firms manage and

with expertise. ” said Mr. Karan Chechi,
