Global Logistics Industry
Similar to other industries, the logistics industry has also been severely hit by the ongoing pandemic. Hence, big players in the industry across the globe are expected to focus on improving operating effectiveness and make investments for technology improvement. Though slowdown is expected in world trade which will pinch the air cargo markets, normalising of economic conditions will lead to demand growth. Supply of essential commodities, growing demand and distribution of personal protective equipment, etc. is expected to aid in the growth of the industry from USD 2,734 billion in 2020 to USD 3,215 billion by 2021. However, the projection for FY21 is estimated to be down by over 10-15 per cent as compared to the estimation pre-pandemic levels.
