Competitive vendor landscape
The CEP market is extremely fragmented and primarily localized with several vendors catering to each logistics sub-segment. It consists of both big and small players but is largely dominated by small and medium enterprises. To sustain themselves in the competitive environment, many vendors are constantly adapting to the rapidly changing marketplace, besides offering value-added services to gain greater market shares. The requirement for CEP services is growing considerably with the increase in production and trade in most regions. As such the market provides huge growth opportunities, resulting in the entry of several new players in the global CEP market during the forecast period.
“At present, the vendors in the CEP market are aiming to provide increased value-added services to attract more customers. The several value-added services include the assortment and grading of products, packaging, management information system (MIS) services in the logistics supply chain, mobile tracking applications, online tracking of parcels, SMS and e-mail alerts, other legal formalities necessary in the process, and hub-to-spoke collection centers. There are very few players in the market that provide one-stop solutions. Several businesses are preferring third-party logistics (3PL) providers that offer a one-stop shipping solution,” says Sharan Raj, a lead analyst at Technavio for research on transportation and distribution.
