The second issue of the Swiss Logistics Market Study in 2024 focuses on trends, sustainability, geopolitical crises and automation in the Swiss logistics market. The trend radar illustrates the current technological, social and economic trends in the Swiss logistics market and their dynamics. The focus of the analysis of developments in the freight transport market is on determining the sustainability of logistics. In addition, mode-specific developments in road, rail, air and shipping are examined in order to describe the current market situation.
Besides the recurring static topics, the issue includes two dynamic topics, geopolitical crises and automation: the complexity along global trade routes is constantly increasing due to global crises. Established flows of goods have had to be adapted within a very short space of time, which is now leading to new challenges. Delays and cost increases in supply chains are the logical consequence. In this issue, we also explore the question of how much digitalisation actually makes sense. Could Switzerland be described as an Eldorado for automation in warehouse logistics? Issue 02-2024 of the Swiss Logistics Market Study provides answers to these and further questions.
