The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic affected the third party logistics market growth through disruption of supply chains and closures of borders which complicated operations. But at the same time, it promoted the digital leap and the advancement of e-commerce logistics. Since more companies shifted their supply chains to be more resilient in the future, third party logistics are in a better place to provide solutions for more flexible and effective supply chains post-COVID.

There is an increasing emphasis on e-commerce and globalization which is fueling the third party logistics market share. The use of third party logistics providers has been an advantage to businesses by simplifying the logistics, reducing delivery periods, and increasing customer satisfaction. Manufacturing and pharma companies are some of the industries that contract third party logistics for their cross-border services. Customers also get value from sustainable solutions, which will increase demand for third party logistics since it plans and reduces emissions on routes. This puts the market on a trajectory for further growth.

Moreover, new technologies including SCEM, TMS, ITLS and WMS are essential in third party logistics provider firms, which enhance operational performance. This is where shippers source third party logistics for better and more advanced logistics software that helps to reduce their costs and supply chain. Such changes are useful in third party logistics which helps small customers in the best way possible. By adopting these technologies, the third party logistics providers can increase their productivity and in turn, expand the market.
