Increasing Adoption of Sustainable Solutions Fuels North America Event Logistics Market

The need for proper transport and logistics services has been rising owing to population growth worldwide. Many countries are shifting to green logistics and services to reduce the environmental impacts of conventional logistics. Sustainable and environment-friendly logistics services highlight lowering emissions by utilizing clean energy sources, such as wind and solar, to power fleet vehicles. As the world is already facing high air pollution levels, especially in major countries such as US, Canada, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Germany, France, China, and India, this sustainable approach is significantly beneficial.

By shifting to green transport and logistics for efficient event management, companies are anticipated to take various measures to reduce these emissions. Many large and medium-sized organizations are opting for initiatives to optimize their business processes to reduce carbon footprints. According to the US Environmental Protection Agency, (EPA), the transportation and logistics sectors are among the major contributors to carbon emissions, accounting for ~29% of the total GHG emissions in 2022.

Several event logistics companies across the globe are involved in green logistics practices. Many event logistics firms are supporting shippers to enhance mobility by suggesting environmentally friendly modes of transportation. In 2023, the event logistics arm of DHL Group-DHL Supply Chain's Green Transport Policy-became a part of the company's investment in decarbonized transport solutions and introduced the Green Transport Policy.

Historically, the engineering of pallets and packing technologies has prioritized economic effectiveness and secure shipping over sustainability; however, many event logistics providers are now rapidly moving to eco-friendly packaging to reduce their environmental impact. As recycled waste is utilized in the creation of eco-friendly packaging, fewer harmful resources are leveraged, which lowers overall carbon emissions.

Logistic providers such as Borderline help reduce carbon emissions during freight forwarding by raising the fill rate per transport unit per tank of fuel, using higher-capacity vehicles, and performing routine maintenance of transport vehicles. Thus, the increasing adoption of sustainable solutions that focus on reducing carbon footprints aligns with organizations' business strategy, which is anticipated to create lucrative opportunities for the North America event logistics market growth during the forecast period.
