It involves controlling the movement of goods from one point of origin to the point of consumption in order to satisfy customer demands.
According to a joint report released by industry body FICCI and property consultancy firm Anarock, Indian e-commerce market is expected to reach US$ 120 billion by 2026 from US$ 38 billion in 2021.
Market Dynamics:
Driver:
Increasing adoption of e-commerce
The global retail market is changing due to e-commerce. The e-commerce boom has benefited retailers of apparel and electronics, as well as the travel industry. The logistical difficulties involved in making sure fresh and perishable products reach the consumer in prime condition have been one of the main causes for the slower uptake of online FMCG. Additionally, many FMCG products are easily accessible to customers at brick-and-mortar stores in advanced markets, particularly those with dense populations like Germany. Additionally, over the next few years, global online FMCG sales are expected to grow more with the development of the market.
Restraint:
Cost & infrastructure limitations
Due to fierce competition, FMCG businesses frequently maintain low profit margins. Variations in fuel prices, transportation costs, and labor costs can hinder profitability and have a significant impact on these margins. Additionally, inadequate warehousing and transportation facilities in some areas can also cause supply chain operations to lag, cost more, and be less effective.
Opportunity:
Urbanization and changing consumer lifestyle
Online processes and ordering are a result of changing habits. Consumer goods became more popular and were sold more frequently as a result of growing consumer awareness of personal care products, the adoption of health and wellness products, the growing popularity of cosmetics, and many other factors. Additionally, the FMCG logistics market is expected to experience exciting growth opportunities due to changes in consumption habits and lifestyles, rising disposable income, and increased purchasing power. The consumption of food and beverages among consumers is also influenced by rising incomes, urbanization, and the expansion of organized retail, creating a wide range of opportunities for the FMCG logistics market.
Threat:
Lack of manufacturer and retailer oversight over logistics services
There is no direct control over the process by logistics services. The dependability, knowledge, and consistency of their logistics service providers are therefore essential for manufacturers and retailers. Manufacturers run the risk of compromising the quality and security of their goods because they are unable to even oversee the work being done in their warehouses. Further, outsourcing logistics to third- or fourth-party providers may put customer data, products, and technological security at risk. This lack of control over logistics services might hinder market expansion.
Covid-19 Impact
Across the world, every mode of transportation that depends on logistics has been significantly affected by COVID-19. Major FMCG brands with robust and extensive distribution networks have also been prompted by the COVID-19 situation to consider and adopt new models to achieve last-mile delivery to their customers. While some industries are suffering as a result of the pandemic, others are thriving. These include the healthcare and pharmaceutical, e-commerce, and daily essential goods industries, all of which are anticipated to have a positive impact on the logistics sector during the global COVID-19 outbreak.
The roadways segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period
The roadways segment currently has the largest market share, and it is anticipated that it will continue to dominate the market for the entire anticipated period. In Europe, Asia, Africa, and North America, roads are one of the most frequently used forms of transportation. The seamless transfer of goods between various states and countries is guaranteed by a single customs paperwork process. It is one of the most affordable transportation options and provides full door-to-door service. Such factors are expected to maintain the dominance of road transportation.
The personal care segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period
During the anticipated period, the personal care segment is anticipated to experience the market's highest growth rate. These goods include toothpaste, shampoos, perfumes, lipsticks, eye and facial makeup preparations, and moisturizers for the skin. Personal care items are also conveniently accessible through a variety of distribution channels, including specialty shops, pharmacies, and beauty salons, which supports the segment's revenue growth.
Region with largest share:
During the forecast period, Asia-Pacific is anticipated to control the market with the largest share. The booming e-commerce sector in emerging economies is primarily responsible for the regional market's expansion. The market in this region is growing as a result of the increased use of outsourced logistics services. Additionally, there is significant government support for the development of logistics infrastructure in the area, which is fueling the market.
Region with highest CAGR:
North America is predicted to experience profitable growth as a result of the region's abundance of diverse coastlines and cruising locations. One of the key factors driving this region's growth is the increasing demand for green logistics to address growing environmental concerns. As the use of electric vehicles in the area rises, low-emission FMCG logistics are growing. Over the forecast period, these factors are anticipated to benefit the region.
