Logistics Sector Growth in India

The Indian logistics sector is among the largest in the world and plays a vital role in driving economic growth. After contracting by 2% in FY21, the market rebounded strongly in FY22, achieving remarkable growth of 14% and reaching a value of US$435 billion. The logistics market in India is expected to expand further, reaching US$591 billion by FY27.

In FY22, organised players accounted for only 5.5-6% of various logistics market segments, including road transportation, warehousing, and supply chain services. However, organised players are projected to experience a substantial CAGR of around 32% from 2022 to 2027. As a result, their market share is expected to increase to 12-15% by FY27. This transformation will likely be driven by organised players’ ability to offer integrated services, leverage efficiencies from their networks and scale, and invest significantly in technology and engineering. These initiatives are expected to enhance their competitiveness and help them capture a larger share of customer business.
