Business for third-party logistics providers looks ‘very promising’, according to analyst Datamonitor’s recently published European Logistics House View report.
It says expenditure on outsourced third party logistics provision across the automotive, consumer, hi-tech, pharmaceutical, and retail industries is set to increase significantly over the coming four years.
