Ti’s annual analysis and market overview of the global e-commerce logistics industry.

The report contains Ti’s bespoke market size and forecasting data, as well as overviews of some of the world’s leading e-commerce businesses, such as Alibaba and Amazon.

In addition, the report includes company profiles of both post offices, LSPs and dedicated ecommerce solution providers to showcase the different strategies shaping the market we know today.

E-commerce logistics growth is also being propelled by the increased connectivity of consumers through m-commerce and the ‘Internet of Things’.

Technology also means that consumers now have exposure to better prices, product availability and choice from outside of their country of residence. Retailers and logistics providers have been reacting to this increase in demand in a number of ways:

• Japan Post has responded to the expansion of the e-commerce market by developing new services and acquiring Toll Holdings Limited
• UPS has developed its cross-border e-commerce services, offering consumers in 100 countries the ability to shop online in the US and UK as if they were shopping in their own country
• XPO Logistics has developed a presence in e-commerce logistics via acquisition and serves customers through its Last Mile and Logistics Divisions.

However a company establishes success in e-commerce logistics, the prospects for continued success know no bounds.
