Transportation is estimated to be the largest segment of the Automotive Logistics Market during the forecast period

Increasing global vehicle production has increased the demand for logistics services for the transportation of automotive components, accessories, spare parts, and finished vehicles. Due to low labor costs and taxes, Asia has become the hub of automotive production. It accounts for 55% of the global passenger car and LCV production. In the automotive logistics supply chain, transportation of components, accessories, spare parts, and finished vehicles is more expensive. These vehicles and components are exported to Europe and North America and require a multimodal mode of transport. According to experts, the introduction of electric vehicles will cause major changes in the automotive logistics supply chain. The logistics services for transportation and handling of batteries are expected to account for significant part of inbound logistics.

Maritime logistics is estimated to be the fastest growing mode of transport in the Automotive Logistics Market

The transportation of cargo through waterways is more economical than roadways and railways. It does not require a huge capital investment in construction and maintenance, except in the case of canals. Various countries such as France, Germany, Spain, China, India, and Brazil are working toward increasing the share of maritime transport in the logistics industry through investments and favorable policies. For instance, the European Union is working on 5 priority infrastructure projects that include 3 rail-marine projects and 2 inland waterways projects. Thus, marine logistics is estimated to witness the fastest growth during the forecast period.

Increased vehicle production and the presence of key OEMs would drive the Asia Oceania Automotive Logistics Market
