Growing Need for Overall Operational Cost Reduction, Delivery Management, and Better Operational Efficiency Fuels North America Third Party Logistics Market
Third-party logistics enterprises specialize in logistics, and their expertise in this field is always better than that of the core corporations. They can also meet technical needs. Furthermore, third-party logistics providers can aid in cutting inventory expenses and can strategize to lower a company's overall shipping and delivery costs. Many core companies may lack the time and competence to keep logistic services and systems up to date. During periods of rapid commercial expansion, the organization frequently faces difficulties in meeting product delivery deadlines.
Additionally, hiring third-party firms is more cost-effective than investing in one's logistic operations. According to a study conducted by NTT Data in 2022, over 65% of the total study respondents who use third-party logistics services admit that using third-party logistics has decreased logistic expenditures. Reduced logistic expenditure directly affected the overall profit of the shipping companies positively.
Besides, consumer preferences for delivery services have changed drastically in recent years. Consumers are opting for faster delivery and are willing to pay additional costs for the same. According to Omnitracs' 2021 consumer behavior survey, 65% of buyers in the US are willing to spend more money to receive faster, more reliable delivery. As a result, the demand for reliable logistics services has increased exponentially.
Choosing a third-party logistics firm enables the company to devote its time and resources to areas of core competency and actual business. According to the survey conducted by Coyote Logistics, 56% of the total respondents opted for third-party logistics only to improve their business operation efficiency. Thus, the advantages above are anticipated to drive the market for third-party logistics.
