An Opportunistic Market for M&A

Market fragmentation in the e-commerce sector is driving need for consolidation and M&A, with high demand for platform and add-on acquisitions for financial and strategic buyers. Given the extent of capital and number of buyers interested in this space, we believe this is a perfect and opportunistic market for willing sellers to maximize their value!

“While e-commerce growth is slowing since the height of the pandemic, growth is still strong year-over-year and we expect this to continue at a more modest pace over 2021”

Logisyn presents an excellent opportunity for buyers and sellers to gain insight on this high growth and high opportunity market!

  • Our managing director, Nikhil Sathe, leverages a significant background in the e-commerce sector, allowing us to provide expert advisory into your company’s future

2021 E-Commerce Expectations

The e-commerce/fulfillment sector has been the biggest beneficiary of the COVID situation as the market surged beyond the expected YoY growth trend of 23%.

Expanding internet retailers and big box retailers are causing heightened demand for 3PL’s servicing fulfillment and e-commerce.

This has resulted in a capacity crunch for last/final mile, air cargo and parcel carriers and a special demand for 3PL’s with value added services, like white label and managing end-to-end inventory.

Retail capacity rationalization has already started.

Expectations are that more than 60% of North American consumer spending will be routed via e-commerce (excluding automobile, gas and food) in 2021 and beyond!

E-commerce/fulfillment, last and final mile segments have continued to show us strong and secular growth trends, which will likely be sustained for the foreseeable future.
