2013 Global Courier and Delivery Services Report is in!

The Global Courier and Delivery Services Report from IBISWorld for 2013 is in!

The report explores new trends in the industry and forecasts the next 5 years. It expresses the "stagnant growth" of the past 5 years due to the recession in 2009, but shows a positive outlook on the future, including a 1.4% increase in revenue per year.

Couriers deliver various items like boxes, packages, letters, and many more. The increase in e-commerce is good news for the courier industry, according to the report. It will benefit all delivery services including the smaller companies by the increased demand for goods utilizing quick courier services. The fuel costs will start to level out as well, which is good for both suppliers and consumers.

2013 Supply Chain & Logistics Predictions

2013 is here! We want to wish everyone a Happy New Year! In light of the New Year, we are going to look at Supply Chain and Logistics Predictions for 2013.

There is always a lot going on in the logistics and supply chain industry that affect the driver community. Some key things to look out for in 2013 are:

1. Automation (robots/machines) will take the place of the human force in areas like inventory and the driverless car.

2. Same-day delivery will be a priority for all companies, online and physical stores.

3. More companies will start using alternative fuel vehicles such as hybrids, electric and natural gas.

4. Transportation Management. In the courier, trucking, warehouse and messenger business this means making sure we optimize travel costs as much as possible.

We wish you  a happy, healthy new year!

Keep on Truckin
