Third Party Logistics (3PL) is the function by which a manufacturer outsources activities related to logistics and distribution. Often a 3PL company can go beyond just logistics and distribution and can provide specialized services such as inventory management, cross-docking, door to door delivery and packaging of products. The market for this service is expected to witness growth at good pace owing to its use in today’s competitive environment. Moreover, the demand is expected to rise due to increase in the focus of manufacturer and retailers on their core business (known as core competencies) and subcontracting activities, such as logistics where they have less expertise. Thus, the increase in the competition has diverted the focus of manufacturer to promote respective specializations in production and distribution.
Increase in the globalization helped in setting up a worldwide network of manufacturing activities. To maintain it efficiently, the demand of 3PL companies is expected to rise. The scope of 3PL services is expected to increase as productivity gains in supply chain in terms of cost and reliability can be derived with the help of managerial and information technology expertise provided by 3PL companies. Increase in the e-commerce industry and reverse logistics operations are also driving the market of 3PL industry. However, loss of direct control on the logistics service and potential loss of reputation are the most critical factors, which are likely to restrict the growth of this market. The market of 3PL is still fragmented, with plenty of room for growth. With number of orders increasing in small amount of time the opportunity or challenge to the 3PL companies will be to meet the demand by completing more orders at lower cost with the help of multi-channel distribution.
