Key Trends in the Market

Contract logistics, variously known as third-party logistics (3PL), refers to outsourcing services from a third-party company. The companies providing such services specialise in logistical operations, such as supply chain operations and inventory management. Companies utilise contract logistics for cutting-edge technology, specialised machinery, and skilled staff, which allows them to improve work efficiency.

  • The logistics sector has been one of the major contributors to the increasing carbon emissions and global warming. Due to this, companies are now focused on sustainability and environmental responsibility, increasingly adopting eco-friendly logistics solutions and practices to reduce their carbon footprint.
  • There is an increasing integration of artificial intelligence in logistics operations to optimise routes, improve transportation efficiency, predict demand, and plan budgets. Hence, one of the crucial Germany contract logistics market trends is the increasing adoption of artificial intelligence by contract logistics providers to save costs and offer valuable insights to customers by recognising patterns and trends.
  • The rapid expansion of e-commerce channels is a major contributor to the increasing demand for contract logistics services. In addition, rising demand for improved delivery and efficient storage by e-commerce channels is significantly driving the Germany contract logistics market growth. With the continuous expansion of the e-commerce sector and the establishment of new players, the demand for logistics is likely to further rise during the forecast period.
