These last few years have undoubtedly been a challenge for the logistics sector. Since the shortage of raw materials, as well as the increase in demand, which has exceeded the capacity of storage and transportation logistics.
Therefore, we must be trained for any aspect that arises in 2022 and that includes modifying or in any case innovating processes of all stages involved in this sector.
The logistics trends for 2022 may be the expected trigger to adopt those supply chain specialists who want to be ahead of their competition.
Increase in demand for 3PL and 4PL services:
As we have commented in previous articles, as a result of the pandemic there was a notable increase in demand for e-commerce, which triggered the need to expand these services. Therefore, in 2022, according to experts, the global market for logistics providers is estimated to reach 1.1 trillion dollars in the next six years.
Staff specialized in the latest technologies:
Currently, the need to be specialists in the latest technologies is paramount, due to the evolution of activities and the increase in demand, it is necessary to automate processes, Big Data and AI as much as possible.
It will be key to optimize all resources and time using technologies to our advantage in order to focus on carrying out strategies with greater positive results.
The capacity crisis will continue:
For years the demand has increased and the capacity is exceeded, but that isn’t new.This situation has worsened as a result of the pandemic and the high season of the last months of this year.
As mentioned in the previous points, over the time, experience and well-applied strategies will be the key to be able to manage all the needs and as a result to be able to get out of this crisis as soon as possible.
Mergers and acquisitions increasing:
From clients to shipping companies they are betting on greater visibility using mergers and acquisitions as a tool, managing to expand both vertically and horizontally.
Visibility is one of the main strategies to boost efficiency and potentiate the capacity that is currently lacking, therefore in 2022 many companies are expected to increase their size from staff to infrastructure.
Greater investment in infrastructure:
It is clear that the need for growth in infrastructure is urgent as well as new ships, trains, airplanes and new ports, but, we know that the process will take time.
The good news that gives hope to this situation are the “Smart Ports” that are booming at the moment, although it is a move that is already in action, we must optimize what we have and wait for the investments to come.
These are the main points that will be touched on this coming year.
What do you think will make the difference to alleviate this aforementioned crisis?
