The contract is intended to help meet the requirements of the growing presence of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) forces in Europe. Agility DGS is one of six companies positioned to provide transportation services for U.S. Army.
A rise in free trade agreements between nations
A free trade agreement (FTA) is an agreement between two or more countries under which countries agree on certain terms & conditions that affect trade in goods and services. The signing of free trade agreements facilitates better trade between two parties and results in a rise in import–export activities, which boosts the development of the entire logistics ecosystem. Reduction or elimination of tariffs, intellectual property protection, and fair treatment of investors are some of the important advantages of free trade agreements. In addition, the U.S. currently has 14 free trade agreements with 20 countries in force. For the U.S., the main aim of the trade agreement is to reduce barriers to the U.S. exports, protect U.S. interests from competing abroad, and enhance rule of law in the FTA partner country or countries.
Similarly, in Asia-Pacific, China, Singapore, and India have 47, 44, and 44 FTAs, respectively, which offer lucrative opportunities for logistics to thrive and support the economy of the nations. Moreover, in January 2022, The Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) Agreement enters into force for Australia, Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, China, Japan, Lao PDR, New Zealand, Singapore, Thailand and Viet Nam, paving the way for the creation of the world’s largest free trade area.
The Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) includes 15 East Asian and Pacific nations of different economic sizes. The RCEP will become the largest trade agreement in the world as measured by the GDP of its members; will eliminate 90% of tariffs among 15 East Asian and Pacific countries; and is expected to boost intraregional exports by $42 billion. Thus, such types of free trade agreements are expected to increase the import and export activities, which in turn will drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.
Rise of tech-driven logistics services and the growing adoption of IoT-enabled connected devices
Increasing penetration of the internet of things (IoT) in the logistics sector enables freight companies and consumers to have direct access to the company network via the internet. The logistics infrastructure is constantly upgraded to meet the need. Increasing use of artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, radio-frequency identification (RFID), and Bluetooth coupled with other newly introduced technologies, such as drone delivery and driverless vehicles, is being witnessed in logistics services. These growing technological advancements act as the catalyst to the growth of the government and education logistics market size. In addition, some logistics companies across the world are increasing their spending and using technologically advanced systems for logistics enhancement, which are further expected to propel the growth of the market. For instance, SimpliRoute, an urban logistics solution, raised $3 million in funding to improve its AI-powered logistics platform. The new funding will help the startup to grow its logistics intelligence platform and expand to other countries besides Mexico, Chile, Peru, and Uruguay. In addition, AT&T provides Internet of Things (IoT) solutions for Honeywell’s transport and logistics offerings internationally in countries across Europe, North America, Latin America, Asia, Africa, and Australia.
Poor infrastructure and higher logistics costs
Logistics demands good infrastructure, supply chain, and trade facilitation. Without these, firms must build more stock reserves and working capital, which can strongly affect national and regional competitiveness due to high financial costs. In addition, the lack of infrastructure hinders the government and education logistics market as it increases costs and reduces supply chain reliability. These include significant inefficiencies in transport, poor condition of storage infrastructure, complex tax structure, low rate of technology adoption, and poor skills of logistics professionals. For instance, according to a report by the Economist, an international newspaper, Latin America lacks adequate infrastructure. More than 60% of the region’s roads are unpaved. Further, inconsistency in the address and postal system is the other challenge for parcel delivery in Latin American countries. As many countries lack postal codes and rely on local landmarks for addresses, shipping companies often have trouble delivering parcels successfully. Moreover, logistics costs are heavily determined by the availability and quality of infrastructure. Infrastructure directly influences transport costs and indirectly affects the level of inventories, and consequently financial costs.
Thus, owing to poor transport infrastructure, firms need to have high levels of inventories to account for contingencies, which can result in higher overall logistics costs. Therefore, poor infrastructure along with high inventory prices and insufficient warehousing space is expected to hamper the government and education logistics market growth.
Cost cutting and lead time reduced by adopting multimodal systems
Reduction in the cost of transportation and timely delivery of goods poses a challenge to logistics service providers to increase profitability. The number of orders to be delivered in a limited time is rising, as a result of which logistics companies have the opportunity to use multi-modal transportation systems to increase the efficiency of the supply chain. The advantage of multimodal transport is that it uses the most efficient combination of transport modes, keeping transportation costs down. For instance, APL Logistics provides ShipMax solutions to its customers. It includes pairing with compatible trucking partners as well as allowing customers to take advantage of better load utilization and delivery optimization, thus enabling customers to maximize their transportation budget. Therefore, cost-cutting and lead time reduction by adopting a multi-modal system pose exponential growth opportunities for the key players operating in the logistics market. For instance, in December 2020, the Union Cabinet of the Indian Government launched the Multi-Modal Logistics Hub & Multi-Modal Transport Hub (MMTH) at Greater Noida to focus on the MMT infrastructure in the country.
