A comprehensive overview of the Global Contract Logistics market including analysis, commentary, market sizing, ranking and market shares, out‐sourcing rates and profiles of the leading global contract logistics operators

The new report ‘Global Contract Logistics 2012’ claims that the transport and logistics industry is undergoing a period of uncertainty. The 286 page report looks at the last 18 months in detail, starting with the optimistic start to 2011 and the ongoing economic issues in US andEurope.

According to the report, the global contract logistics market had a strong start in 2011 and, despite a slowdown in the second half, still achieved 4.5% growth.

Not only was the economy a major concern, but natural disasters played havoc to global supply chains. The Japanese earthquake and Thai floods caused disruptions in the automotive and high tech industry, impacting manufacturing facilities throughout the world. Both of these disasters raised questions concerning the effectiveness of ‘just-in-time’ manufacturing and delivery as well as the need for improved supply chain planning for unforeseen events.
