What to expect in 2024: a Latin America logistics overview
Defining your growth strategy in 2024
What does success look like for you in the year ahead? How can you establish the right supply chain strategy to help meet your business ambitions? Our latest white paper, in partnership with Americas Market Intelligence, can help answer these questions.
In this paper, we examine how global macroeconomic challenges and geopolitical disruptions are impacting logistics in Latin America. We also focus on emerging trends in key sectors across the region. Find out how the logistics landscape is shifting to help the region leverage its USD 6.3 trillion GDP and realise its potential in the global economy.
Staying prepared for potential challenges in the FMCG industry
FMCG companies in Latin America are already facing a variety of obstacles so far this year:
- Rising costs related to raw materials, fuel and labour
- Security concerns in land transportation networks
- Delays caused by ongoing geopolitical disruptions
However, these challenges are helping to facilitate a positive mindset shift. Find out how creative transportation strategies and an emphasis on digitalisation are helping to keep FMCG supply chains operating smoothly within the region.
Keeping pace with rapid growth in the retail and lifestyle industries
The retail sector in Latin America is slowly returning to pre-pandemic levels. In Brazil, Colombia and Chile alone, the market for apparel, shoes, toys and sporting goods is projected to grow to USD 68.8 billion in 2024.
Against this promising backdrop, the industry is seeing a gradual shift away from the traditional, fragmented logistics model. In a fast-moving, deeply competitive market, end-to-end solutions are fast becoming the best path to efficiency.
Dive into our full white paper to find out how retail operators in the region are leaning on a strong integrator strategy to set themselves up for near-term and future success.
The logistics trends shaping Latin America’s tech industry
The future of the consumer electronics market in Latin America is bright, with the region projecting a 9% rise in market demand in 2024. However, given the sector’s high dependence on imports, certain factors threaten to stand in the way of its promising growth potential:
- Unpredictability in distribution networks
- Temporary surplus of inventory
- Increased risk of cargo theft
Dive deeper into each of these challenges and find out how unique logistics strategies are helping to mitigate their impact and keep tech growth well on track.
Uncomplicating cold chain logistics in 2024
Despite the impact of global geopolitical disruptions on cold chains in Latin America, the region’s reefer segment is projected to grow by 5% to USD 76.7 billion in 2024.
Logistics operators in the region are primarily looking for different ways to bypass the bottlenecks in ocean transit. They are doing this by leaning on landside transport networks and exploring ways to bridge the gap between ports and cold storage facilities.
However, in an industry where time and cost are extremely sensitive, it becomes essential to ensure supply chains are perfectly balanced from end to end. Dive deeper into the latest reefer trends in Latin America in our full white paper.
Driving decarbonisation in Latin America supply chains
Given that transport accounts for one-third of CO2 emissions in end-use sectors, the logistics industry has a considerable role to play in the global push for a sustainable future.
In a richly biodiverse region like Latin America, these initiatives become even more important. Moreover, consumer preferences are increasingly leaning towards more environment-friendly products. This creates a greater incentive for businesses to find ways to reduce Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions and push to achieve their net-zero targets as soon as possible.
Find out how these developments are sparking various sustainability efforts by businesses and logistics operators alike in the region – from exploring alternative fuel sources to transport electrification and much more.
