Highlights

The global outsourcing of logistics spend is set to explode by 2010: The combination of strong GDP growth rates, a continued eastward shift of global manufacturing bases and an ongoing focus on reducing costs will dramatically increase the amount of logistics spend outsourced.
Asia-Pacific is set to be the fastest growing region: While Europe will remain as the area with the largest level of outsourced logistics spend, the largest growth is forecast for the Asia-Pacific region. Indeed, by 2010 it will account for almost one-fifth of global outsourced logistics spend.
Consolidation among logistics companies is set to continue: Although the Global Logistics Scorecard shows that DHL has strengthened its position in the logistics market, pressure from customers and costs will mean that the recent merger and acquisition trend is set to continue in the coming years.
