Last year, the global logistics industry grew by 3.5% to reach $10.9 trillion, and is projected to grow by 3.8% this year to reach $11.3 trillion. This growth will continue to be driven by investments in strategic areas such as technology, sustainability and workforce development. According to data from the World Trade Organization, global trade in goods and services exceeded $33 trillion last year. The fact that nearly one-third of this, or $11 trillion, is related to logistics once again demonstrates the critical importance of the logistics sector in the world economy.
