Exclusive Highlights on
Market Size and Forecasts
- 2015 was a relatively good year for contract logistics operators, although the short- to medium-term prospects of low single-digit growth in revenues across the industry may encourage further consolidation
- Given trends in several end markets, we continue to expect a highly competitive landscape characterised by organic growth in revenues on a constant currency basis. However, as revenues rise, operating costs and investments might have to grow accordingly to preserve competitiveness – and very possibly at a steeper rate than sales, putting more pressure on core operating margins
- Industry consolidation was a driver of change in 2015. Six of the companies profiled have been involved in M&A activity recently, with a low-growth global economy and cheap debt incentivising takeovers to gain scale and new customer accounts. There are a few bright spots in the market nonetheless, with the majority of companies looking into either e-commerce or overseas expansion, in recognition of the changing patterns of global trade and consumer preferences.

4th May 2016, Bath, UK: Ti is pleased to announce that the Executive Edition of its best-selling report, Global Logistics, is now available to purchase. The report provides industry leading analysis of global, regional and country level contract logistics markets as well as detailed profiles of the leading providers. The condensed report also contains Ti's unique market sizing and forecasting data.
Ti findings state that the global contract logistics market expanded by only 3.8% in 2015, down from 4.4% the previous year. Ti's predicts that this will improve as emerging market growth is expected to pick up.
Ti Economist, David Buckby, explained: “Overall, 2015 was a year where there wasn't a great deal of change in developed contract logistics markets. What the world really noticed was the weakness in emerging markets. This is by no means a call to ‘give up’ on emerging markets, forecasts for 2016 and beyond are more optimistic. Rather, it is that logistics providers should perhaps pause for thought a bit more before ramping up investment in certain locations.”
