Third-Party Logistics Market Insights

Logistics Industry Witnessing Progressive Growth in Saudi Arabia

Logistics is the core area of the third party logistics (3PL) firms and their proficiency in this areas is always superior to that of the core companies. Since the past few years, Saudi Arabia has made progress for improving its logistics services, and the relevant infrastructure & traceability in order to meet the world-class standards. The processes for import and export processes are more reorganized and governance regulations and structures are being reformed. KSA is also pursuing the public-private partnerships for both, to finance the infrastructure and for acquiring the capabilities from the other leading logistics markets. Furthermore, the country is moving forward towards modernizing airports and expanding air cargo facilities for eliminating the infrastructure bottlenecks. Additionally, for the waterways, the focus on growing port specialization, reforming the governance, and updating the concession frameworks is expected to proliferate the third-party logistics market growth.

 

Lesser Control of Manufacturers on Logistics Service and Delivery Processes

One of the disadvantage of opting for 3PL is that it leads the beneficiary companies to loss control over their shipping functions. The client businesses have no direct control over their operation when they use 3PL services. In such cases, businesses are highly dependent upon third party to consistently come through delivering the promised services. Client companies may have to bear certain losses and damage to their business if the 3PL services fail to deliver certain products to the customers on time. Moreover, third-party logistics market firms promote their services in most cost efficient way and the client company has to comply with pricing model specified in the business agreement. However, in certain cases, companies can figure out the cheaper and more efficient solution in their in-house logistics department. The aforementioned factors may hinder the growth of the third-party logistics market.
