Market Growth Factors

Supply chains' increased complexity is another factor that drives the Latin America fourth party logistics market. In the region, companies find it difficult to manage multi-tier suppliers, vendors, and changing market demands. Integrating information technology, projects, and supply chains, these solutions help toward better visibility and control. 4PL is considered particularly well suited for the automotive, manufacturing, and retail industries because it can help organizations reduce the cost of supply chain disruptions by integrating the logistics process.

The rapid growth of e-commerce is one of the major growth indicators of Latin American markets, growing 14.3% in Brazil alone and projected to exceed USD 200 Billion in revenue by 2026, prompting the rise of Internet access, smartphones and digital payment methods across regions. This also led retailers and manufacturers to upgrade their distribution networks and improve delivery availability and speed. 4PLs can build the logistics infrastructure that can allow a company to manage increased volume and changing consumer requirements, maintaining a competitive advantage.

The market has also been increased by the growing adoption of digital technologies. 4PL logistics providers in Latin America are looking to utilize technologies such as AI, the IoT, blockchain and real-time data analytics to allow them to respond more quickly to supply chain disruptions and manage risks in a politically and economically uncertain region. For instance, companies such as Logiety have adopted machine learning to automate customs processes. Governments have invested, in addition, in infrastructure like ports, highways and railways to strengthen the logistics industry.
