Market Overview

Emergence of India as a Manufacturing Hub and Improving Multimodal Transportation Infrastructure Moves the Indian Logistics Market to Top Gear

India's rising prominence in the manufacturing sector over the last few years has given a fresh lease of life to the logistics market, and this trend is likely to gain pace with the wave of global economic slowdown gradually receding and India emerging as one of the earliest major economies to recover from downturn. This fast-paced growth of the industrial sector, coupled with the more sturdy progress of the agricultural sector, has necessitated extensive supply chains across the country to facilitate sourcing and distribution of production. Distribution networks of most industries in India involve numerous retailers across the country, and multiple levels of intermediaries. Since companies will be hard pressed to serve such an intricate network, logistics service providers (LSPs) will fancy their chances of finding a firm foothold in the Indian market. Apart from the steady expansion of operations by large domestic industrial groups, an increasing number of global majors in industries ranging from automotive and electronics to pharmaceuticals and cement have been targeting a spot in the highly lucrative Indian market, says the analyst of this research. While foreign companies need to engage logistics service providers since they are not conversant with the culture, government policies, or distribution landscape of the country, domestic companies are outsourcing their logistic activities to organized third-party logistics (3PLs) to focus on their core competencies.

Most manufacturing industries such as automotive, cement, minerals, oil & gas, pharma, food processing, and fast moving consumer goods (FMCG) need multimodal transportation services as they have a widespread consumer base but limited production bases. Industries such as FMCG, pharma, and food processing also have considerable requirements for integrated logistics parks. Multimodal transportation solutions are becoming possible with the development of inter-connected transportation infrastructure facilities, especially dedicated freight corridors by the railways and improvements in coastal shipping facilities. Similarly, the construction of massive state-of-the-art logistics parks at key distribution hubs are helping to meet the specialized warehousing needs of industries. These developments are encouraging companies to outsource logistics functions.
