Driving Factors

Third-party logistics are in high demand in Germany, primarily due to the country's expanding e-commerce industry. To improve the customer experience, e-commerce retailers are quickly adopting third-party logistics services that are reliable, fast, and cost-effective.

Thus, such factors are hampering the market growth in the forecast period.
