The global logistics sector is poised for significant growth, with projections indicating a 10% increase in activity by 2028, surpassing pre-pandemic levels seen in 2023. To meet this demand surge, the sector plans to introduce 57 new logistics hubs in addition to its current network of approximately 300 facilities worldwide.
In response to environmental considerations, logistics providers are actively implementing sustainable practices, including the adoption of electric vehicles and compliance with stringent environmental regulations set by governing bodies. Despite these efforts, the sector faces challenges, particularly concerning protests at key ports over issues such as congestion and environmental impact.
Recent protests in major logistics hubs highlight ongoing community concerns despite logistics operations typically accounting for a small fraction of overall urban traffic. Authorities and industry leaders are collaborating to find balanced solutions that address local grievances while maintaining logistical efficiency.
Looking forward, the industry remains optimistic about growth prospects, particularly in emerging markets and through the development of alternative logistics routes. The focus on sustainable practices and community engagement underscores the sector’s commitment to responsible growth and operational excellence.
