Saudi Arabia Logistics and Warehousing Market Size
The Saudi Arabia logistics and warehousing market was witnessed to remain buoyant over the past five years despite the temporary stagnation of the economy and decrease in oil prices owing to the global oil price shock. The market increased at a positive CAGR during the period 2012 to 2018. The improving road infrastructure, rise in government support in the form of incentives and subsidies, improving corporate working environment due to large availability of expatriate workforce and rise in the industrial activities are expected to support the growth of the market in future. Freight forwarding segment has dominated the logistics and warehousing industry in Saudi Arabia over the past few years.
Saudi Arabia Freight Forwarding Market: Freight forwarding industry has observed a slight decline in past few years, which is majorly due to the decrease in freight movement in the country. However, expanding FMCG, retail, food & e-commerce industry in the kingdom is expected to stabilize the growth of the freight forwarding industry in future. The market decreased at a single digit CAGR during the period 2012 to 2018. Introduction of Saudization has resulted in several labour immigrants to leave the kingdom which has further resulted in the decrease of expatriate population in the country. Additionally, a decrease in oil prices and stagnation of the economy has resulted in low freight movement in the country. International freight forwarding contributed the majority share in the overall revenue of the industry. Major companies operating in this segment include DHL, Panalpina, UPS, DB Schenker, Kuehne + Nagel and several others. It is forecasted that the market will moderately grow at a positive CAGR during the review period of 2018-2023.
Saudi Arabia Warehousing Market: The warehousing sector in Saudi Arabia has increased at a positive CAGR during the review period 2012-2018. The country is experiencing a major rise in the demand for warehousing services. Industrial and retail warehousing has led the warehousing industry by acquiring majority of the total revenue share in 2018. The expanding e-tail companies in the country have also triggered the growth of this industry. Online stores have become quite popular in the kingdom lately. The major reason for their popularity is the convenience of placing an order while sitting at home and getting the product delivered at the door step. The growth in the market is also driven by increased demand for the outsourcing of warehouse services. Vendors in the market provide multiple value-added services to customers, including packaging and kitting, inventory management and others which is difficult to maintain during in-house warehouse operations thereby accelerating the demand for warehousing on lease and rent on third party logistics basis. In case of warehousing market segmentation by city, Jeddah contributed the majority revenue share in warehousing industry. In future, it is anticipated that the market will continue to grow at a single digit positive CAGR during the period 2018-2023.
Saudi Arabia Express Logistics Market: Despite the high cost of express logistics in comparison with non-express logistics, the revenue share of express delivery has been observed grow at a positive CAGR during the review period 2012-2018. Express logistics has been observed as a premium segment of the logistics industry as it involves time sensitive shipments of goods via multi-modal modes of transportation. The rising prominence of online shopping has attributed to the increasing demand for express delivery, especially by B2C segments over the past few years in the kingdom. The express logistics market has evolved from the delivery of documents and parcels to specialist items such as high-tech products, semiconductors and general airfreight commodities. The services provided by the companies such as guaranteed delivery services, door to door delivery, track your orders and others have strengthened the growth of the logistics. Air express has dominated the market by acquiring majority revenue share in 2018 owing to the presence of well planned airport infrastructure to support cargo. In case of express logistics segmentation by business model, B2B dominated the market. The leading companies in this segment include DHL, Aramex, UBS, FedEx-TNT, SMSA, Naqel Express, Zajil Express, Almajdouie Logistics and Abdul Latif Jameel Logistics.
Saudi Arabia E-Commerce Logistics Market: E-Commerce Market in Saudi Arabia has increased at a single digit positive CAGR during the period 2012-2018. The customers have begun demanding quick deliveries which has led to an increase in the logistics and warehousing requirements in the country. E-commerce companies such as Souq.com, Noon, JollyChic, Wadi, and Ali Express are some of the major players that promise one day delivery to its clients. Thus, the rise in demand for quick delivery requires streamlined freight movement thereby augmenting the e-commerce contribution. In the forecast period of 2018-2023, the market is anticipated to grow at a double digit positive CAGR.
Saudi Arabia Third Party Logistics (3PL) Market: Third party logistics market witnessed a marginal increase over the past five years in Saudi Arabia. Third-party logistics (3PL) outsourcing is rapidly gaining prominence as more corporations across the world are entering the kingdom and are unable to manage their complex supply chains and hence are outsourcing logistics activities to the 3PL service providers.
Future Outlook and Projections for Saudi Arabia Logistics and Warehousing Market: Saudi Arabia logistics and warehousing market is expected to grow at a single digit CAGR during the review period of 2018 to 2023. Rising demand of warehousing and cold storage, growing E-commerce and retail industry, entry of foreign players, rising government support, increasing trade with other major import & export countries will drive the market in coming future. Rising retail and FMCG industry of the country will accelerate the demand for warehouses storage and transportation & logistics facility. Freight forwarding services will majorly contribute in the overall market of logistics by acquiring maximum revenue share in 2023.
