Results and Findings of the 30th Annual Study

The Annual Third-Party Logistics Study reports the results from a survey of shippers and 3PL or 4PL respondents, providing perspectives on their relationships, priorities and challenges. Data-driven approaches and emerging technologies are reshaping the way supply chains are navigated today.

This year's report examines the current trends and critical roles that shippers and 3PLs play in the supply chain. The top findings include:

  • Relationships between shippers and 3PLs are moving away from being transactional to more strategic in nature.
  • Contracts and other financial benefits drive strategic partnerships.
  • How the latest technology can improve the shipper’s supply chain.
  • Contemporary issues such as rising tariffs and awidening talent gap.
