Groupage freight will grow significantly by 2020
By 2020, this figure may rise to 20%. The success of China is especially impressive with their groupage already being 19% and supposedly exceeding 30% by 2020.
The rapidly flourishing e-commerce significantly affects the operation of the industry as a whole, but primarily it factors into the transportation of goods from China.
The decreasing full container loads(FCL) and increasing ‘less than car load’ (LCL) are already the case.
The newly emerging markets unable to purchase goods in large quantities are the main stimulus here. This suggests that the logistics model of the future will have to balance small orders and a wide sales geography.
