The top three revenue contributing product segments are discussed below:

3PL market in China by manufacturing industry

The manufacturing units in China are creating more opportunities in the market by shifting business strategies.  The labor-intensive manufacturing industries are shifting to lower cost locations to produce more innovative products at cheaper operational costs. This shift to new locations will increase the demand for third party logistics in the market of this region. The products designed by these manufacturing units are especially for the Chinese consumers and helps these vendors to stay in the competition in the market.

The government in China are taking initiatives to make China the manufacturing hub that produces technologically advanced products rather than low-cost and often counterfeit merchandise. The government launched the “Made in China 2025” campaign to facilitate this objective and boosting the demand for 3PL in the market. The manufacturing companies need to be efficient in shifting and upgrading their logistics supply to meet the changing demand in the region,” says Abhay Sinha, a lead analyst at Technavio for research on logistics.

3PL market in China by automotive industry

The availability of both international and national passenger cars brands in China will lead to growth in this market segment. It is predicted that the total production and sales of vehicles annually will be more than 30 million units by 2020, contributing to the growth of the 3PL market in this region. The price wars in the market are leading the manufacturers to adopt efficient and cost-effective logistics services to keep the product prices low. The automotive OEMs are expanding their production and distribution centers across the country which will require multimodal routes and services in China, including rail, short-sea shipping, and barge movements. The demand for 3PL services with advanced benefits is expected to increase during the forecast period.
