Lecture description

Gain insight into the market size and trajectory for automotive logistics in Europe and North America across a fast-changing supply chain. Hear the latest research from Automotive Logistics and a panel discussion with experts from leading logistics players to better understand how to navigate an uncertain but highly dynamic industry.

The global automotive logistics industry remains highly dynamic and competitive, with automotive manufacturers and logistics providers managing rising complexity and risk across a supply chain characterised by uncertain markets and geopolitical headwinds. Suppliers and manufacturers need to keep inventory and production lean to balance working capital, and yet maintain resilience against many potential supply and transport disruptions – including through the right mix of freight and logistics optimisation, transport modes, digitalisation and partnership.

But the pressure on rates and cost is growing, as is the need to invest in new technology and assets to keep up with automotive’s changing requirements, meet regulatory and sustainability targets, and to compete in a fragmented marketplace.

So what is next for automotive logistics players and services, especially as manufacturers and suppliers in Europe and North America face challenges? Will the need to cut cost and inventory reduce volume, or will the complexity of supply and markets continue to drive growth across market segments, including automotive inbound logistics, vehicle logistics, aftermarket and plant logistics?

In this exclusive session at Transport Logistic, the specialist media platform, Automotive Logistics, will share market research and insight into the changing scope of the European and North American automotive logistics markets. Automotive Logistics managing editor Emily Uwemedimo will outline major market size and forecasts over the next ten years based on the latest business intelligence from the publication, share insight into major logistics companies, and key trends driving investment, consolidation, new services and market disruption.

A panel of experts from major logistics providers will further discuss these findings and outlook and share more about their strategies for growth and resilience in the years ahead.
