Strategic geographic location with connected infrastructure and world-class seaports are driving the logistics market in the Netherlands
Advanced and Longest-established Logistics Markets: The Netherlands, with its approximately 17 million inhabitants, is one of Europe’s most advanced and longest-established logistics markets, with a particularly high concentration of users and suppliers. The transport/logistics/communication sector accounts for nearly 10% of the nominal gross value added. Even the introduction of new supply chain hubs in Europe, EU enlargement, and Brexit have failed to change this. Because of its central European position, large overseas ports, and excellent transport facilities, the country is vital to European trade.
Powerful Logistical Infrastructure: The Netherlands has been one of Europe’s undisputed leaders in the logistics support market segment. The big expansion of the nation’s rail and highway facilities are reducing traffic congestion in majority of the areas, making previously underserved regions more appealing.
Technological and Skill Deterrents: In Netherlands, automation of processes is still in the embryonic stage and non-standardization in the industry due to its fragmentation further slows down the progress. Acceptance and adoption of technological advancements like RFID, tracking, warehouse management system, etc. can resolve the issues between domain requirement and IT. Besides this, there is lack of quality workforce in this sector, and the available skill set needs to be upgraded urgently.
Growing E-Commerce in the Country: With a powerful logistical infrastructure and a healthy and growing economy, E-commerce, both domestically and internationally, is on the rise. The rise of e-commerce in the country has increased the demand for logistics space. With the rapid growth of the e-commerce sector, the Netherlands market has seen an increase in the use of outsourced warehousing services. This increase has proven beneficial for the logistics market in the country. Therefore, during the forecast period, the cross-border segment of the e-commerce industry is expected to grow.
