The third-party logistics (3PL) market experienced a year-over-year growth of 2.8 percent in revenues in the fourth quarter of 2016. This was primarily driven by acquisitions. Organically, the 3PL market grew by 0.7 percent in Q4 2016 but declined by 5.3 percent for the entire fiscal year.
Categories of 3PLs
ARC’s scope of coverage for the 3PL market includes the following non-asset-based transportation and warehousing services (called “contract logistics” in Europe):
- Non-asset-based domestic transportation services (broker-age/domestic freight forwarding and managed transportation services)
- Non-asset-based international transportation services (freight for-warding, customs services)
- Warehousing services (warehousing and associated services, such as packaging, light assembly, sequencing goods for a factory line)
Note that in cases in which asset-based transportation moves (truckload, less than truckload, parcel/express, rail, ocean, air, etc.) and non-asset-based moves are reported in the same category - but more than half of revenues come from non-asset-based moves - we have included those revenues.
