L'étude d'Armstrong et Associates sur le marché logistique US et mondial....


Communiqué d'Armstrong :
"STOUGHTON, WI, May 24, 2010 – 2009 wasn’t a pretty year for 3PLs. In lock step with the global economic nose dive, domestic revenues for the third-party logistics (3PL) market sank. Hardest hit was the International Transportation Management (ITM) segment with gross revenue (turnover) falling 23.7% as total U.S. import and export ocean TEUs (trailer equivalent units) dropped 12.3%.¹ Airfreight metric tons dropped similarly with reductions at JFK and the Chicago airports exceeding 20%. As prices dove in the face of soft demand, net revenues (gross margins) shrank by 18.9%. Expeditors International, the largest U.S. freight forwarder, saw gross revenue decrease 27% and net revenue decrease 14%. The good news is that first quarter 2010 results have included double digit improvements in ITM and other 3PL market segments as the economy steadily recovers.

Overall, U.S. 3PL market gross revenues decreased 16% in 2009 dropping to $107.1 billion. Dedicated Contract Carriage (DCC) fell 16%. Domestic Transportation Management (DTM) was down 15.1% in gross revenue and 11.4% in net revenue. Value-Added Warehousing and Distribution (VAWD) suffered with only single digit reductions.

The VAWD segment’s gross and net revenues were both down 5.3% and 6.9% respectively compared to 2008.

Net income margins dropped in all categories. The ITM segment was the least affected with a 6.3% drop. VAWD took the biggest hit with a 25% drop. Overall, 3PL net income margin dropped from 5.3% in 2008 to 4.7% in 2009.

We anticipate a significant recovery for 3PLs in 2010. Many first quarter results suggest a recovery that will restore the third-party logistics market to 2007 levels, and we predict 13.4% growth in gross revenue and 8.3% growth in net revenue in third-party logistics for 2010."
