    Logistikmarktstudie Schweiz 02-2026: Nachhaltigkeitskennzahlen, Verkehrsträgerentwicklung, Resilienz durch Outsourcing & As-A-Service Geschäftsmodelle
    (GS1 Switzerland, 2026-07) ; ;
    Arlinghaus, Julia
    The second 2026 edition of the Swiss Logistics Market Study focuses on key developments in sustainability, transport modes, and resilient business models. It shows that Swiss freight transport is undergoing a transformation shaped by decarbonisation, technological change, and growing requirements for flexibility and security of supply. Key sustainability indicators illustrate developments in emissions, alternative drivetrains, and charging infrastructure. Transport-mode-specific analyses describe the current market situation in road, rail, air, and inland waterway transport and highlight shifts in the modal split. This edition also takes a closer look at resilience through outsourcing and As-a-Service business models. The central question is how companies can use flexible, usage-based service models to reduce capital commitment, make cost structures more adaptable, and at the same time increase their responsiveness in volatile market environments. The analysis covers applications in logistics, IT, and production, as well as the associated opportunities, dependencies, and governance issues. The perspective on outsourcing is therefore shifting from a primarily cost-driven decision towards a strategic consideration of flexibility, resilience, and adaptability.

    Logistikmarktstudie Schweiz 01-2026: Logistikmarktentwicklung, Top 100, Logistikkonzepte, IT im Wandel
    (GS1Switzerland, 2025-03) ; ;
    Arlinghaus, Julia
    The first 2026 edition of the Swiss Logistics Market Study examines key developments in the Swiss logistics market and combines current market data with structural questions concerning the future of the sector. The focus is initially on the development of the logistics market and the Top 100 logistics service providers in Switzerland. For 2024, the study identifies a logistics market volume of CHF 46.1 billion; at the same time, the analysis points to an overall robust market structure, moderate growth, and a provider landscape that continues to be strongly characterised by small and medium-sized enterprises. In addition, the edition explores two key topics in greater depth. First, it examines future-oriented logistics concepts against the backdrop of rising supply requirements and increasing infrastructure capacity constraints. The focus is on the more efficient use of existing infrastructure, better integration of road and rail, as well as operational, organisational, and demand-side solutions. Second, the study analyses the transformation of IT in logistics. Heterogeneous system landscapes, cloud and legacy structures, rising integration and operating costs, and growing requirements for data availability and real-time capabilities are fundamentally changing the role of IT. It is increasingly evolving from a supporting function into a central enabler of efficiency, transparency, and the future viability of logistics.

    Logistikmarktstudie Schweiz 03-2025: Staustunden, Fachkräftemangel, Logistikberufe im Wandel
    (GS1 Switzerland, 2025-11) ; ;
    Arlinghaus, Julia
    The third 2025 edition of the Swiss Logistics Market Study focuses on key developments in infrastructure, the labour market, and the transformation of logistics professions. It highlights how Swiss logistics is increasingly shaped by the interplay of growing traffic volumes, economic uncertainty, and a persistent structural shortage of skilled labour. The analysis of congestion hours on the Swiss national road network points to a substantial long-term increase in infrastructure pressure, while the monitoring of job vacancies indicates a gradual normalisation of the labour market following the peaks of recent years. This edition also takes a closer look at the structural transformation of logistics professions. Digitalisation, automation, and emerging technologies are reshaping job profiles and skill requirements while simultaneously creating new development opportunities. Particular attention is given to the perspectives of apprentices and young professionals, as well as to the question of how companies can attract, develop, and retain young talent over the long term. The findings show that, alongside attractive career and training opportunities, leadership culture, working conditions, and target-group-specific communication are becoming increasingly important for the future competitiveness of the logistics sector.

    From Regulation to Reality: Scalable Digital Product Passport Implementation for European SMEs
    (2026-09) ;

    ;
    Digital Product Passports (DPPs) create new demands for product-data management and transparency across supply chains. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) face particular challenges due to fragmented data, limited resources and evolving regulatory requirements. Drawing on desk research and literature analysis, this whitepaper examines the regulatory, technical and organisational barriers to DPP adoption and develops a practical implementation framework. The framework combines a structured product-data backbone, proportionate automation for data preparation and validation, and routines for compliance and interoperability. The analysis distinguishes between internal data-preparation tasks that can be supported through technology and challenges requiring coordination across the value chain, particularly supplier data acquisition and lifecycle updates. It offers recommendations for SMEs and DPP solution providers, emphasising traceability, human accountability and adaptable data governance as foundations for scalable implementation.
