Overview: We are in the early stage of the new logistics paradigm. How it all comes together with supply chain management and with 3rd-parties is still formative. The growth and driving forces may be different from what we see now and perceive will happen. There will be be very significant growth, opportunities and changes for third-party logistics. The third-party logistics market will explode--big time. Users and providers will not be able to keep up with it. The present emphasis seems to be on asset-based providers. Hence the emergence of the Logistics Service Provider who is not asset-based and is more experience in the total logistics pipeline. Very possibly the drivers of Logistics Service Providers may come from the shipper side, which has broader domestic and international experience. Three new types of providers will develop. There will be Logistics Service Providers, there will be Global Contract Logistics Providers and there will be Providers for Medium-Small businesses.
