Surging Adoption of E-Commerce Drives Europe Third Party Logistics Market
Over the last decade, the progress of hardware and the Internet has been directly linked with the adoption of e-commerce. E-commerce has replaced mortar and brick retail in almost all aspects, becoming the preferred medium for marketing, promoting, and purchasing products, goods, and services.

In the e-commerce business, third-party logistics providers deliver flexibility and scalability, upgraded technology, and efficiency and specialization. The logistics requirements and services provided by the third-party logistics firms to e-commerce businesses are supply chain management, warehousing, and consolidation services, which help shipping companies in successful order fulfillment. Thus, the growing number of shipments and quality services provided by the provider are driving the third-party logistics market.
