7 TRANSPORTATION OVERVIEW 17 September

8 Logistics/Transportation is at the forefront of change right from the colonial times to date. No one would survive without that the logistical support for goods and services. The logistics industry is evolving rapidly. These changes are driven primarily by customer expectations / buying habits that require a distribution model that delivers in hours not days. The desire to fulfill that need is creating an aggressive and competitive market that is currently enjoying a de-regulated transportation environment, which is fostering acquisitions driven by e-commerce, industry disruptors, nuclear liability decisions and new approaches to providing logistics services. Today the industry is dealing with the economic impact of the influx of oil. At the same time customer demands in terms of enhanced liability, service extensions and reverse logistics processes are increasing the scope of these emerging risks. Logistics and Transportation stakeholders need to create a program built to succeed not only now but into the future as your company and your industry continue to evolve. By 2021, retail e-commerce sales are projected to generate $485 billion in revenue compared to $353 billion in 2015*. Business-to-business (B2B), which has been the traditional cornerstone of transportation revenue growth, is shifting towards business-to-consumer (B2C). The distribution model for many industries is rapidly changing necessitating new strategies to meet customer demand. MARSH 17 September
