Logistics companies need digital transformation

A report from Lux Research suggests that the transportation and logistics industries are crying out for digital transformation.

In its latest report, “The Digital Transformation of Transportation and Logistics,” Lux Research said the transportation and logistics (T&L) industry has observed steady growth for more than 10 years and now represents an over $300 billion industry.

But for it to grow further the industry has three major challenges – agility, sustainability, and visibility – and companies operating in the industry are hoping to address those challenges through digital transformation.

Lux Research Analyst and lead author of the report Harshit Sharma said that trade globalisation, digital consumers, and low oil prices have all driven growth in the T&L industry while imposing new challenges.

E-commerce boosts parcel delivery businesses

The rise in e-commerce is fueling rapid growth in parcel delivery volumes, a market expected to grow to $665 billion by 2030.

Consumers are increasingly expecting parcels to be delivered quickly. This demand is driving companies to explore using automated delivery technologies to cover the last leg of the delivery journey.

Lux Research’s new report, “Automating the Last Mile,” predicts that automated last-mile deliveries will generate up to $48.4 billion in revenue by 2030, even though automated deliveries will only address 20 percent of all parcel deliveries.
