DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/qm5mkq/third_party) has announced the addition of the "Third Party Logistics (3PL) Market in the US 2014-2018" report to their offering.
In recent years, the increase in environmental awareness among shippers has raised concerns over the pollution created by the vehicles used in logistics. In addition to vehicles, shippers are concerned about other sources of pollution such as recycling units and secondary sources of pollution caused by packaging and warehousing. Shippers choose a vendor that has a smaller carbon footprint and generates fewer pollutants. To overcome these issues, 3PL providers are using eco-friendly electric vehicles.
According to the report, one of the main drivers in this market is the logistics cost reduction achieved by utilizing 3PL services. By outsourcing the logistics part of their operations to 3PL providers, companies can improve the efficiency of their business by focusing on their core competencies.
Further, the report states that the growth of the 3PL market in the US is inhibited by some major challenges. Government regulations in the Commercial Logistics industry restrict the growth of the market.
The report also includes a discussion of the other vendors operating in this market. The report contains a comprehensive market and vendor landscape in addition to a SWOT analysis of the key vendors.
