Logistics is widely known as the process of coordinating and moving resources, such as equipment, food, liquids, inventory, materials, and people, from one location to the storage of the desired destination. It is the management of the flow of goods from one point of origin to the point of consumption, to meet the requirement of customers. Logistics management focuses on the efficiency and effective management of daily activities concerning the production of the company’s finished goods and services. This type of management forms a part of the supply chain management; and plans, implements, & controls the efficient, effective forward, reverse flow, and storage of goods. Logistics mainly comprises various services such as Third-Party Logistics (3PL), Fourth-Party Logistics (4PL), inbound logistics, outbound logistics, reverse logistics, green logistics, construction logistics, digital logistics, military logistics, and others logistics services.
The factors, such as growing e-commerce industry coupled with rise in reverse logistics operations and rise in trade related agreements, fuel the market growth. In addition, rise of tech-driven logistics services and growing adoption of IoT-enabled connected devices are also expected to drive the market growth. However, lack of control of manufacturers on logistics service, poor infrastructure, and higher logistics costs hinder the market growth. Further, emergence of last mile deliveries, logistics automation, and cost cutting & lead time reduction due to adoption of multi-modal system are some of the factors that are anticipated to foster the market growth.
The market is segmented on the basis of mode of transport, end use, and region. On the basis of mode of transport, the market is divided into railways, airways, roadways, and waterways. On the basis of end use, it is categorized into healthcare, manufacturing, aerospace, telecommunication, government & public utilities, banking & financial services, retail, media & entertainment, technology, trade & transportation, and others.

E-commerce refers to the buying and selling of goods by using internet. Third-party logistics service providers encompass shipping of products to consumers. In addition, the e-commerce industry utilizes logistics service to manage and oversee the supply chain of e-commerce companies, which allow these companies to focus on marketing and other business operations. Thus, due to numerous benefits provided by logistics to the e-commerce industry, adoption of logistics service is rising at a significant rate, which is driving the growth of the logistics market. For instance, according to the latest report by the UN’s trade and development body (UNCTAD) released on April 2020, e-commerce sales hit $26.6 trillion globally in 2018, which was equivalent to 32% of the global gross domestic product (GDP). The value of global B2B e-commerce in 2018 was $21 trillion, representing 83% of all e-commerce, whereas B2C e-commerce was valued at $4.4 trillion. The growth is attributed to fast growth in consumers and cross-border purchases.
