The warehousing segment in Kuwait is becoming increasingly sophisticated & advanced with time & is expected to witness innovation in upcoming years. Kuwait is majorly focusing on improving its trade relations which led to the growth in import and export in terms of value and volume. Companies manufacturing or importing products in Kuwait usually outsource all or part of their supply chain to logistics specialists when it’s not a core. Along with warehousing services (picking up, packing and labeling), logistics suppliers have extended their traditional core into extra value-added services, such as postponed manufacturing (light assembly, kitting, manufacturing and quality control), and even payment and customer management. Moreover, government initiatives are also expected to boost the overall market growth. Kuwait government’s plans to invest across strategic sectors under Kuwait Development Plan (KDP) 2015-2020 has positively impacted the market.
