The report on the global automotive logistics market provides qualitative and quantitative analysis for the period from 2021-2030. The global automotive logistics market was valued at USD 221.76 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach USD 363.03 billion in 2030, with a CAGR of 5.51% during the forecast period 2023-2030. The study on automotive logistics market covers the analysis of the leading geographies such as North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and RoW for the period of 2021-2030.
The automotive logistics market is a vital component of the global automotive industry, encompassing the planning, management, and execution of the movement of vehicles, parts, and components from suppliers to manufacturers assembly plants, distribution centres, and ultimately to dealerships, end consumers and also manufacturers to the end users. This industry plays a pivotal role in ensuring the seamless flow of materials and vehicles across various geographical regions, contributing to the efficiency and profitability of automotive manufacturers and suppliers. Additionally, the driving factor of the automotive logistics market is the global demand for vehicles, which creates a need for efficient and cost-effective transportation and supply chain solutions. The growth of the automotive industry, expansion into emerging markets, and the rise of e-commerce for automotive parts and accessories contribute to the increased demand for logistics services in this sector.
The railway sector is established itself as the fastest growing segment in the automotive logistics market. This growth can be attributed by several factors, including their cost-efficiency, reduced environmental impact, and capacity to handle large volumes of vehicles. Rail transport offers a reliable and sustainable option for moving automobiles across long distances, making it increasingly popular among manufacturers and shippers. With ongoing advancements in rail logistics and infrastructure, this trend is expected to continue, further solidifying railways as a crucial player in automotive logistics. Additionally, automobile manufacturers are strategically expanding their reliance on rail transport for vehicle distribution. The transport via rail not only contributes to carbon emission reduction but also facilitates direct and efficient vehicle delivery to specific states. For instance, Maruti Suzuki successfully transported around 15% of its total sales via railways in 2021-2022, with a concerted push to elevate this figure to 30% within the next 5-6 years. This growing utilization of railways in the logistics sector is a driving force behind market growth.
The major market share in the automotive logistics industry is expected to hold by the Asia-Pacific region, primarily due to the presence of emerging economic powerhouses such as China and India. Several factors, including the ready availability of raw materials, a growing demand for vehicles within the region, a rising population, and access to a workforce with lower wage expectations, are projected to be key drivers of the automotive logistics market in this area. For instance, in 2022, global motor vehicle production reached 85.4 million units, marking a 5.7% increase compared to the previous year, 2021. In China, vehicle production in 2022 increased to 27.2 million units from the 26.4 million units manufactured in 2021, thereby contributing to the market's expansion. Additionally, the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region hosts several prominent automotive OEM companies, including Toyota, Maruti Suzuki, Hyundai, and SAIC Motor Corporation Limited, among others. As production and trade activities continue to rise, there is a growing need for logistics firms to oversee and enhance the procurement, transportation, and storage operations of these OEMs, thereby optimizing their supply chains more effectively.
