FOR IMMEDIATE
RELEASE
Hanging Tough – 3PL Market and Financial Results Released
STOUGHTON, WI, April 29,
2008 – Despite an ongoing freight recession in 2007, U.S. third-party
logistics service provider (3PL) revenues grew to $122 billion. Growth was
7.4% in gross revenue (turnover) and 7.2% in net revenue. World revenues
grew to $487 billion driven by Asian results.
3PL revenue growth was
highest in non-asset transportation management. Overall growth continued a
pattern of being more than three times the growth in U.S. gross domestic
product (GDP). 3PL growth continues to be driven by companies outsourcing
to concentrate on core competences, the need for sophisticated supply chain
information technology solutions, and globalization.
Armstrong & Associates,
Inc. projects that U.S. 3PL revenues will exceed $150 billion in 2010 after
a modest year (5.5% increase) in 2008 and an improving year (7.5% increase)
in 2009.
Net revenue for International
transportation management (ITM) including Expeditors Int’l, Kuehne + Nagel
and DHL Global Forwarding grew by 9.5%.
Domestic transportation
management (DTM) grew 8% with net income margins averaging 13.4%. DTM includes
freight brokerage and related value-added services. C.H. Robinson dominates
DTM with 34% of net revenues and 66% of EBIT.
Third-party logistics
continued to consolidate in 2007. Strategic purchases and private equity
investments continued across functionalities. Wall Street analysts became
concerned about the inherently lower profit margins in VAWD. In addition,
investors continued their preferences for non-asset based activities.
