3PL Market in the US 2016-2020 - Increase in Government Regulations in Commercial Logistics Industry - Research and Markets

DUBLIN, May 18, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "3PL Market in the US 2016-2020" report to their offering.

3PL is a business process through which companies outsource their logistics and distribution functions to a service provider that specializes in handling logistics functions such as transportation and warehousing. Often, 3PL providers go beyond logistics and provide value-added services such as inventory management, cross-docking, door-to-door delivery, and packaging of products.

The market is divided into the following segments based on service area:

• Domestic transportation management (DTM)
• International transportation management (ITM)
• Dedicated contract carriage (DCC)
• Verified accredited wholesale distributors (AWD)

M&A activity has been on the rise in the global 3PL market since 2010. The M&A strategy is used by companies to expand the service portfolio and geography of their business operations. Between 2010 and January 2015, XPO Logistics made a total of 12 acquisitions and Roadrunner Transportation Services made 10 acquisitions.

According to the report, companies outsource their logistics services to 3PL service providers to reduce operational costs. The outsourcing of logistics and other SCM-related operations to 3PL providers allows companies to improve the efficiency of their business by focusing on their core competencies.

Furthermore, the report states that an increase in government regulations in the commercial logistics industry in the US has restricted the growth of the market and led to high operational costs.
