However, logistics demands good infrastructure, supply chain, and trade facilitation. Without these, firms must build up more stock reserves and working capital, which can strongly affect national and regional competitiveness due to high financial costs. In addition, lack of infrastructure hinders the 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 cost. Therefore, poor infrastructure along with high inventory prices and insufficient warehousing space are expected to hamper the logistics market growth.

Collaborative partnerships between governments, NGOs, and private sectors are pivotal in enhancing the efficiency and scalability of aid and relief logistics. By pooling resources and expertise, these partnerships streamline logistical operations, ensuring faster response times and more effective distribution of aid during emergencies. For instance, the partnership between the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), various national governments, and pharmaceutical companies significantly improved the delivery of vaccines and medical supplies to underserved regions, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. Such collaborations optimize resource allocation as well as foster innovation in logistics technologies and practices, driving market growth. The ability to leverage diverse strengths from each sector ensures that logistical challenges are met comprehensively, thereby strengthening global disaster preparedness and response capabilities.
