The buying and selling of items over the Internet are referred to as e-commerce. Third-party service providers cover shipping goods to customers. The e-commerce sector also uses logistics services to manage and oversee the supply chains of e-commerce businesses, allowing these businesses to concentrate on marketing and other company operations. Thus, the adoption of these services is increasing significantly, boosting the expansion of the market due to the various advantages that logistics offers the e-commerce business. For instance, the most recent study from the UN's trade and development body (UNCTAD), released on April 2020, estimates that e-commerce sales reached $25.6 trillion in 2018, equivalent to 30% of GDP. B2B e-commerce was valued at $21 trillion in 2018, accounting for 83% of all e-commerce, while B2C e-commerce was at $4.4 trillion. Cross-border sales and the rapid expansion of customers are attributed to the growth. A report claims that more than 1.4 billion people made online purchases in 2018, with the United States, China, and Japan dominating consumer e-commerce sales.
Additionally, the expansion of the economy and changing market conditions are the major factors for globalization. Various trade-related activities are increasing as a result of increased globalization. Moreover, the rise of the overseas market is significantly fueled by this development. Logistics services are becoming increasingly important to provide customers with a broader selection of high-quality products delivered on time, who are also price-sensitive. Thus, the market's growth is fueled by an increase in the trading activity carried on by globalization. For instance, in December 2020, India and the UK announced their intention to complete their free trade agreement (FTA) by the end of 2021, such as pharmaceuticals, fintech, chemicals, defense manufacturing, petroleum, and food products. Therefore, the expansion of trade-related agreements has enhanced the market CAGR in recent years.
Automation has also been gaining traction in the industry. The inception of logistics 4.0 is one of the key trends offering lucrative opportunities in the industry. For instance, in July 2020, Movile Group, a mobile commerce platform company, invested in a Colombia-based last-mile delivery startup Mensajeros Urbanos. It aims to expand its operations in 10 major cities in Colombia and Mexico. It is expected to open 50 urban warehouses within ten cities to reduce delivery time windows further and provide items for same-day delivery. Thus, the continuous effort of companies to offer efficient last-mile deliveries is another factor driving the growth of the logistics market analysis.
The logistics market segmentation, based on transportation type, includes airways, waterways, railways, and roadways. The roadways segment held the majority share in 2021, contributing around ~52% of the logistics market revenue. The roadways segment has expanded due to rising demand for roadway vehicles to transport retail products over large distances, particularly in domestic regions. Retail businesses should use trucks and cargo with large carrying capabilities when choosing road transportation.
The logistics market segmentation, based on logistics type, includes first-party, second-party, and third-party. The third-party logistics segment dominated the market in 2021 and is projected to be the faster-growing segment during the forecast period, 2022-2030. Third-party logistics provides outsourced services to manage multiple supply chain operations. Greater flexibility is made possible by third-party logistics' ability to lower overall distribution and warehousing costs. Hence, offering outsourced services to handle various supply chain functions positively impacts market growth.
The logistics market data has been segmented by end-user into industrial and manufacturing, retail, healthcare, and oil & gas. The industrial and manufacturing segment dominated the market in 2021 and is projected to be the faster-growing segment during the forecast period  2022-2030 as logistics improve productivity and efficiency while reducing costs and increasing customer satisfaction. The increase in demand for industrial manufacturing services is responsible for the segment's growth during the anticipated period. Over the next ten years, the healthcare segment is anticipated to experience the fastest CAGR. The growing importance of fast-track assistance in the healthcare industry can be credited with the segment's rise throughout the projection period.
