The logistics industry of India consists of more than 1000 players that include new start-ups and organized players. Only about 14 percent of the overall Indian logistics market belongs to the organized players. The industry in India is growing at a CAGR of 10.5 percent. It is fragmented, with services comprising air, water and land freight transport. Each logistics option has its feasibility depending on the type of products needed to be transported.
The players in this industry face the greatest challenge of managing the financials of all three logistics types to remain efficient. For example, when air shipping is the fastest means to transfer any perishable product, it costs exorbitantly higher than the ocean freight. Besides, maintaining an end-to-end service is difficult due to high investment requirements.
