REPORT SCOPE AND MARKET OVERVIEW
The European logistics services market — including road, sea and air transport, contract logistics and value-added services — reached a record €250 billion in 2021-2022, driven by soaring freight rates during the Covid crisis. Since then, the sector stabilised, with more moderate growth estimated at 3.2% in 2024 and 2.5% in 2025.
By 2030, the European logistics market will evolve in a mixed economic context: growth will remain weak in Western Europe (France, Germany, Italy), but more dynamic in the North, East and Iberian Peninsula. The development of e-commerce, industrial relocation and the rise of tailor-made logistics services will support demand.
The European leaders in transport and logistics – DSV, DHL Group, Kuehne + Nagel, CEVA Logistics, Maersk Logistics and Geodis – are confirming their global dominance. With the acquisition of DB Schenker, DSV has become the world's number one 3PL provider. These operators are focusing on external growth, automation, robotics and artificial intelligence to increase their productivity and respond to labour shortages. Finally, the decarbonisation of transport and warehouses is becoming a priority, marking a new phase of transformation for European logistics providers
