Transportation is one of the world’s largest industries. The services offered by the companies in this sector range from taxis to trucks, airplanes, trains, courier services, ships, barges, warehouses, and logistics. The transportation sector is now increasingly relying on artificial intelligence and robotics in the form of self-driving cars, trucks, and delivery vehicles. The growth of the global logistics services industry is directly related to the development of international trade flow and the current economic environment. North America and the Asia Pacific are known to be the most attractive markets for logistics services, especially when it comes to contract services such as third-party logistics. Additionally, intra-regional trade in developing markets is becoming important, especially in the Asia Pacific, and this, combined with high GDP rates, is expected to boost the growth of the logistics services industry.
Some of the other key factors influencing the growth of the transportation industry includes :
- Improved Customer Service: Today, customers want full transparency into where their delivery is at all times. Moreover, customer expectations have increased, and their willingness to pay for fast shipping has decreased.
- Technology Strategy and Implementation: While the logistics services industry supports and understands the benefits of the latest technologies, some questions persist as to how they will pay for it and who will help devise the improvements.
As a result, logistics services firms are leveraging the use of marketing strategy solutions to improve their position in the market. Marketing strategy solutions help firms within the logistics services space to address the requirements of the customer and accordingly devise new strategies to market the offerings and improve customer service.
