The global 3PL in the FMCG market size is projected to reach approximately $ XX Billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 6% from 2022 to 2030. FMCGs or “Fast Moving Consumer Goods” are the largest group of consumer goods, covering a wide range of different product categories such as health and beauty, home care, personal care, food and drink, and many other necessities. 3PL or third-party logistics providers are a good option for start-up companies in the FMCG markets with large volumes. 3PLs are the third-party companies that offer supply chain management and the services required to secure their operations. The services provided by 3PLs are transport, packing, storage, consolidation, and other services that are needed to increase efficiency. For companies with high demand but low capital, 3PLs provide a good option for them. These companies can be small companies or large companies.
COVID-19 Impact Analysis
The 3PL in the FMCG market was severely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. With the threat of COVID-19, many countries were left with no choice but to halt trading with one another in a bid to save themselves. This has caused disruptions in the supply chain and reduced supplies of goods that are needed. In addition, many countries have imposed a nationwide shutdown for non-essential shopping of all retail outlets. This has caused a setback for the FMCG logistics industry as transportation of these products is not needed anymore. The food and beverage industry has also been severely impacted by the global pandemic. Offline dining venues such as restaurants and cafes have been shut down due to the pandemic, while online orders for food also decreased.
Market Dynamics
The rising demand for cost optimization in FMCG companies, combined with the increase in disposable income, and changing lifestyles of individuals have contributed to the growth of this market. Furthermore, the rising adoption of the Internet of Things (IoT)-enabled connected maneuvers and the emergence of tech-driven logistics amenities create ample opportunities for the market players.
Drivers
⮚    Increasing Priority of Cost Optimization in Supply Chain to Drive the Market Growth
FMCG is a highly cost-sensitive industry, so the slightest variation in operations can have a significant impact on profits. A 3PL service partner will save the company money on outsourcing logistics, storage, and transportation. This means the company can focus on its core competencies and increase the profit margins by cutting costs with an expert company. In addition, 3PL service providers offer expert input and customized solutions tailored to the company’s needs. Alongside this, they cost less in comparison to an in-house team and also provide invaluable insights into the products’ supply chain.
Restraint:
- Limited Control of the Manufacturers and Retailers on the Logistics Service to Hinder the Market Growth
Outsourcing to third-party logistics providers means a manufacturing or retailing company has to trust that the 3PL provider can provide competency, honesty, and reliability. This means the company doesn’t have full control of its supply chain. Outsourcing to third-party logistics (3PL) can lead to a breach of confidentiality due to the lack of transparency, where things such as customers’ data could be at risk of confidential information interacting with other businesses. Hence, a lack of control of manufacturers and retailers on logistics services is expected to hamper the growth of this market.
Opportunity:
⮚    Markets’ growing ability to Leverage AI and the Emerging Tech to create huge Potential
3PL Service Providers are changing the way they deliver services by adapting to the changing requirements of their FMCG customers. These changes involve implementing new technologies like AI and emerging tech that streamline operations and bring efficiency. 3PL providers offer a range of different benefits for FMCG brands. For example, 3PLs can provide tech-enabled solutions including temperature-controlled supply chains or data-driven management solutions such as inventory and sales fulfillment, stock updates, and so on. AI-enabled and value-driven logistics partners are going to help drive growth in the FMCG sector more than ever before.
Segment Overview
By Product Type
Based on the Product Type, the 3PL in the FMCGs market is segmented based on Distribution and Retail. The Distribution segment is anticipated to account for the large market share. The Distribution segment is dominating due to the large companies in this sector having global awareness, partnerships with key clients, high cost-effectiveness, and flexibility. The large players in this segment are DHL, C&S Logistics, UPS, and others. They’re rapidly expanding into the retail sector by providing services such as drop-shipping, home-delivery, and shipping of different types of products.
By Application
Based on Application, the global 3PL in the FMCG market has been divided into Food and Beverages, Personal Care, and Household Care. The Food and Beverage segment is expected to hold the largest market share. The food and beverage segment accounts for the majority of applications for the FMCG logistics market due to the growth in the sales of packaged food products and staple food products. The increase in hectic lifestyles has caused a demand for ready-made food products as people are having less time to cook at home. Furthermore, the population growth and rise in the number of retail stores will increase the demand for 3PLs in the market.
