Market Growth Factors

Key drivers of the growth of the third-party logistics market in Brazil include the rapid growth of the e-commerce market. The Brazilian e-commerce market grew by 18.7% year-on-year to BRL 160.3 Billion in the first half of 2024, driving demand for warehousing, fulfillment and last-mile delivery. Consumer expectations for faster delivery are being challenged, with logistics companies opening micro-fulfillment centers (MFCs) and dark stores in urban locations to offer same-day and next-day delivery. The popularity of omnichannel retail also increases the demand to balance stock levels between online and physical channels.

The grain and logistics market is driven by substantial government investment in transport infrastructure. As of February 2025, the federal government has announced a USD 12 Billion investment into grain harvest logistics infrastructure covering roads, railways and ports. To address Brazilian needs, the National Logistics Plan improves highways, port expansions, and rail systems to reduce the time and cost of intermodal transport. These improvements increase the efficiency and scalability of third-party logistics providers, allowing the country to meet logistics needs in a territory as large as Brazil's.

Brazil's industrial sector is also driving third-party logistics demand. Rapid growth in the automotive, electronics, food processing, and pharmaceutical industries are increasing the need for inbound logistics, sequencing deliveries of components, and outbound distribution of final products. Manufacturers have begun subcontracting many supply chain activities and the use of logistics firms is helping in just-in-time delivery and lean production. Government interests in the South and Southeast encourage the retooling and expansion of manufacturing facilities. Value-added logistics processes, such as vendor-managed inventory and returnable packaging management, are increasingly in demand. Agricultural and automobile exports have increased, requiring international logistics.
