THE GLOBAL THIRD-PARTY LOGISTICS PROVIDER (3PL) market is estimated to be $1.50 trillion in 2023 and is expected to reach $2.13 trillion by 2028, growing at a CAGR of 7.30%, according to ResearchAndMarkets.com. Providers have been riding a high tide of profits, with the largest 3PLs continuing to make handsome profits last year despite challenging and uncertain economic conditions. Armstrong & Associates (A&A) reports that in 2022, the U.S. 3PL market alone saw revenues upwards of $405.5 billion-the fourth best growth year on record since A&A began developing 3PL Market Estimates in 1995. According to A&A, driving its growth has been the boom in demand for e-commerce, the extraordinary inventory buildup from the pandemic supply chain disruption, along with the rapid development and investment in technology systems that have made it possible for 3PLs to efficiently decrease purchased transportation costs while staving off significant price concessions to shippers. |
