Transforming Logistics

Shaping the sector for the future

Overview

The Logistics sector is at a crossroads. While it has operated successfully and relatively consistently for many years, it now faces a host of new challenges. The growth of online shopping, the need to reach net zero and crucially, labour shortages, means the old ways of working are no longer able to cope with new demands.

With pressure from partners and consumers only set to intensify, we explore what logistics businesses need to plan for to grow and thrive in the future.

Key trends shaping logistics

With an array of new challenges and demands, logistics businesses will need to transform to respond. We see three key trends shaping the sector’s future in the next 18 to 24 months.

Labour shortages

With an aging driver population and increasing demand, how can logistics cultivate the workforce of the future?

Net zero

From decarbonisation to lowering emissions, how can the sector reach net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050?

Increasing efficiency

Future success will require a focus on efficiency and a sector-wide mindset. How can logistics companies become more efficient and improve business performance?
