After the backlash in the initial quarters of 2020, logistics and supply chain market including 3PL logistics in India is all set to soar with a CAGR growth rate of 11.5 percent during the period of 2020-2025 as per the recent report published by Mordor Intelligence. By the time we entered in 2021, the logistics has not only become an important sector but also has emerged as the backbone of the economy during its reopening and way forward.
The nationwide GST rollout has led the consolidation of the otherwise fragmented logistics industry into more organized and apt industry. It has facilitated the hassle-free interstate movement of goods and has changed the pre-GST trend of ‘setting up separate state-level warehouses/ C&F agents in multiple consumption states by the supply chain with a tax-saving perspective’ to the current scenario where companies are moving towards building/ availing larger consolidated multi-modal logistics parks, freight corridors, and availing express & 3PL logistics services, more than ever, with an operations efficiency perspective, which has led to a huge logistics cost saving.
New trends are emerging in warehousing, 3PL & outsourcing space. Multinationals and global supply chains are finding India an attractive location to set up their manufacturing base and expand the customer base, which is a reasonable factor to trigger an increase in need of outsourcing. More companies are planning to use 3PL services in the future as an integrated set of services involving warehousing, transportation, order processing, quality inspection & other value-added services.
