Abstract
Detailed analysis of over 2,000 company financials, by industry, in context of the current European supply chain environment
Logistics markets across Europe continue to grow, develop and evolve at a continually rapid pace. Hence organisations looking to recognise profit within this sector critically need to understand the trends, dynamics and drivers for this growth. Furthermore identifying which sectors, regions and services may be performing best is a core requirement.
Under pressure from demanding shareholders and lengthening supply chains, service providers must continue to grow and develop, either organically or by acquisition. This requires levels of investment that can only be made on the back of sound analysis and research, including assessments of the levels of return and the expected performance of the market by sector and geography.
With these requirements in mind, Analytiqa has published Profitability in European Logistics. This report, also available as seven individual country reports, is based on analysis of the financial performance of over 2,000 companies operating within the European Logistics sector.
