Dynamically changing customer expectations, technological advancements, complex competition, and improving collaboration models are broadly governing the shift in the global chemical logistics market. The chemical logistics market is being evolved and is witnessing a significant shift owing to technological advancement in supply chain management.
The chemical manufacturers are focused on outsourcing the inbound and outbound logistics to third-party logistics providers (3PL) to optimize operation costs associated with logistics and are focusing on improving manufacturing efficiency and core competence.
On the other hand, the logistics service providers are inclined towards improving efficiency and optimizing profit margins through intermodal and multimodal transportation models. This has encouraged a collaborative yet competitive engagement among different participants of the chemical logistic ecosystem.
The global chemical logistics market is anticipated to grow at a prominent rate during the coming years. However, the supply chain network and logistics services are anticipated to be affected due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
North America contributed the largest share to the global chemical logistics market owing to the presence of global logistics service providers, strong chemical processing, production and consumption industry, and export of raw and processed chemicals worldwide.
Additionally, the discovery of significant oil and shale gas deposits in the United States has positively impacted the petrochemical industry and other manufacturing and support industries and has created significant opportunities for logistics and transportation.
This is anticipated to contribute significantly towards the growth of the chemical logistics market in North America. The Asia Pacific is anticipated to be the fastest-growing geography during the forecast period owing to a shift in the manufacturing base from Europe and the United States to low-income countries such as China, India, and Southeast Asian countries.
