Third-party Logistics (3PL) Market Overview:
The global third-party logistics (3PL) market was valued at $869 billion in 2017, and is projected to reach $1,513 billion by 2025, registering a CAGR of 7.1% from 2018 to 2025. In 2017, the Asia-Pacific region garnered the highest share in the global 3PL market.
3 PL is the function by which a manufacturer outsources activities related to logistics and distribution. A 3 PL company can provide specialized services such as inventory management, cross-docking, door-to-door delivery, and packaging of products. The market for 3 PL service is expected to witness significant growth, due to development of the e-commerce industry. Moreover, the demand for this service is expected to escalate in the near future, due to increase in focus of manufacturers and retailers on their core business (known as core competencies) and subcontracting activities, such as logistics where they have less expertise. Thus, increase in competition has diverted the focus of manufacturers to promote respective specializations in production and distribution.
Furthermore, rise in globalization has aided in setting up a worldwide network of manufacturing activities. To maintain it efficiently, the demand of 3 PL companies is expected to rise. Moreover, the scope of 3 PL services is anticipated to increase during the forecast period, as productivity gains in supply chain in terms of cost and reliability can be derived with the help of managerial and information technology expertise provided by 3 PL companies. In addition, development of the e-commerce industry and increase in reverse logistics operations drive the growth of the market for 3 PL services. However, loss of direct control on the logistics service and potential loss of reputation are the most critical factors that restrict the growth of this market.
Some of the key players operating in the 3 PL market include DHL, United Parcel Service, FedEx Corporation, Maersk Logistics, DB Schenker, Kuehne+Nagel Inc., NYK logistics, Panalpina World Transport Ltd., Union Pacific Corporation, and BNSF Railway Company.

Risk to goodwill of manufacturer
A 3 PL service provider is responsible for one of the most important and critical function of the business. Their mistake will directly affect the manufacturer’s reputation and relation with the customers. If a 3 PL service provider does not deliver the order on time, then it leads to decrease in creditability of the manufacturing company, thereby degrading the level of trust of consumer on the company. This factor is expected to restrain the growth of 3 PL market.

In this scenario, manufacturer has to rely on 3PL provider, which results into lack of direct control. In addition, manufacturer is not able to monitor the operations at warehouse, which is a serious threat to the quality of products. This is how reduction in control of manufacturers on logistics service is hindering the growth of 3PL market.
