Industry Trends
Economic recovery in the logistics industry is viewed as “cautiously optimistic”
Trucking environment continues to tighten in many areas Rail will continue to shine, especially intermodal,
however box availability remains a constraint Air & Ocean continues to be difficult to predict demand,
capacity & profitability 3PL market will continue to grow, along with competitive
pressures and increasing customer expectations Regulatory reforms like heavier weight trucks, should
counter many of these constraints “Green”, cross industry collaboration & eFulfillment
initiatives represent significant opportunities
When will the logistics market turn? Typically leads general economy by 4 to 8 months
