Impact of E-Commerce on Logistics M&A

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.
