簡介目錄

英國第三方物流市場預計將從 2025 年的 291 億美元成長到 2026 年的 301.9 億美元,到 2031 年達到 362.6 億美元,2026 年至 2031 年的複合年成長率為 3.73%。

英國第三方物流 (3PL) 市場-IMG1

市場規模的變化反映了該行業從快速擴張向穩步成熟過渡的過程,其促進因素包括英國脫歐相關的海關摩擦、日益深化的電子商務文化、政府的脫碳政策以及持續的勞動力短缺。企業紛紛轉向外包物流合作夥伴,因為第三方物流(3PL) 可以吸收監管衝擊、整合技術投資,並大規模提供低碳運輸方案。隨著國際公司收購本地專業公司以確保港口准入和都市區倉儲網路,競爭日益激烈,而國內公司則透過自動化和電動車隊來應對。公路、鐵路和卡車停靠站基礎設施的發展帶來了新的運輸能力,但也給營運商帶來了更大的壓力,他們需要滿足消費者對直銷服務日益成長的期望。這些因素共同構成了一個市場基礎,在這個市場中,韌性和柔軟性決定企業的長期成功。

英國第三方物流(3PL) 市場趨勢與洞察

電子商務小包裹量爆炸性成長

如今,線上零售已佔英國購物總量的30%。訂單頻率的激增迫使第三方物流公司在都市區擴展微型倉配中心,亞馬遜的「計劃 Juniper」網路便是例證,該網路已將配送時間縮短至數小時。 DPD集團英國公司已在米爾頓凱恩斯完成了超過2500次自主「最後一公里」配送,這表明機器人技術能夠滿足商業級服務合約的要求。倫敦的Portal Way位置260個“黑暗廚房”,這表明快速商業模式正在重塑倉儲需求。隨著零售商優先考慮全通路能力,那些將B2B分銷與小包裹消費者配送相結合的供應商正在獲得更高的合約價值和更長期的合作協議。

政府為貨運提供脫碳獎勵

政府已撥款2.54億美元用於零排放重型貨車(HGV)試點項目,目標是在2040年前逐步淘汰新型柴油卡車。領先已獲得競標優勢,例如,HIVED公司訂購了11輛配備600千瓦時電池、續航里程達310英里的梅賽德斯-奔馳eActros電動卡車,以擴充其全電動中程運輸車隊。此外,政府還將投入2,096萬美元維修38個卡車停靠站,包括配備大容量充電樁和擴建駕駛設施,以緩解電動卡車的里程焦慮。由於低溫運輸運輸每年排放1,410萬噸二氧化碳當量,溫控電氣化已成為監管重點。 ISO 14001認證正逐漸成為公共部門競標的必要條件,這將形成一種機制,獎勵那些早期投資永續資產的第三方物流(3PL)供應商。

司機和倉庫工人短缺

英國國內重型貨車駕駛人缺口高達5萬人,限制了英國第三方物流市場的擴張速度,目前供應量為32萬人,而需求量為37萬人。駕駛人平均年齡為51歲,其中55%的司機年齡在50至65歲之間,這意味著離職率正在上升。人事費用佔第三方物流營運成本的40%以上,自2024年初以來大幅上漲,當時19%的公司表示有職缺。一項2096萬美元的基金旨在對38個卡車停靠站進行現代化改造,以提高該工作的吸引力,但倫敦和曼徹斯特不斷上漲的住宅成本阻礙了新員工的招聘。英國脫歐後,歐盟工人大量外流,加劇了倉庫勞動力短缺的問題,迫使第三方物流公司轉向機器人和人工智慧驅動的貨位管理。

細分市場分析

到2025年,英國國內運輸管理將佔英國第三方物流市場規模的41.45%,反映了該島國以公路運輸為主的貨運模式。國際運輸管理對於跨境貿易仍然至關重要,但由於關稅波動帶來的挑戰,利潤率面臨壓力。隨著電子商務客戶將高價值的揀貨包裝、退貨處理和套件組裝等業務外包,增值倉儲和配送服務正以7.01%的複合年成長率快速成長。自動化倉庫系統、溫控倉庫和一體化清關區域的引入,正將倉庫從成本中心轉變為盈利樞紐。儘管政府斥資1168億美元發展公路和鐵路,為多式聯運創造了機遇,但由於都市區消費叢集集中在主要公路沿線,第三方物流(3PL)在2031年之前仍將在英國道路運輸保持主導地位。鐵路和短途海運營運商將專注於需要大宗貨物運輸的可再生能源計劃,與公路運輸形成互補而非替代關係。

企業對倉儲的日益依賴重塑了合約結構。客戶要求採用與訂單行數掛鉤的可變成本定價模式,這與機器人揀選的擴充性。隨著對氣候敏感的食品和藥品分銷範圍的擴大,低溫運輸設施將獲得更高的利益。自動化降低了勞動力需求,營運商正將人員重新部署到更高價值的配置管理和品質檢驗任務中。將預測分析融入庫存管理的第三方物流業者將獲得優先供應商地位,進而強化產業整合趨勢。

第7章 市場機會與未來展望

簡介目錄
Product Code: 70574

The United Kingdom Third Party Logistics Market is expected to grow from USD 29.10 billion in 2025 to USD 30.19 billion in 2026 and is forecast to reach USD 36.26 billion by 2031 at 3.73% CAGR over 2026-2031.

United Kingdom Third Party Logistics (3PL) - Market - IMG1

The market size trajectory reflects the sector's gradual move from rapid expansion to steady maturation, shaped by Brexit-related customs friction, a deepening e-commerce culture, government decarbonization mandates, and persistent labor shortages. Businesses are migrating toward outsourced logistics partners because 3PLs can absorb regulatory shocks, aggregate technology investments, and deliver lower-carbon transport options at scale. Competitive intensity is rising as international players buy local specialists to secure port access and urban warehousing footprints, while domestic firms counter with automation and electric-fleet rollouts. Infrastructure upgrades across roads, rail, and truck stops provide new capacity yet also pressure operators to meet rising service expectations in direct-to-consumer fulfillment. Together, these forces underpin a market where resilience and flexibility determine long-term success.

United Kingdom Third Party Logistics (3PL) Market Trends and Insights

Explosive E-commerce Parcel Volumes

Online retail now represents 30% of all U.K. shopping. Rapid ordering frequencies compel 3PLs to enlarge urban micro-fulfillment footprints, evidenced by Amazon's Project Juniper network that cuts delivery windows to hours. DPD Group UK has already completed more than 2,500 autonomous last-mile deliveries in Milton Keynes, proving robotics can meet commercial service-level agreements. London's Portal Way hosts 260 dark kitchens that illustrate how quick-commerce models reshape warehousing demand. As retailers favor omnichannel fulfillment, operators that marry B2B distribution with direct-to-consumer parcel flows secure higher contract values and longer tenures.

Government Decarbonization Incentives for Freight

The government has earmarked USD 254 million for zero-emission HGV trials and set a 2040 deadline for phasing out new diesel trucks. Early movers gain bidding advantages; HIVED expanded its fully electric middle-mile fleet by ordering 11 Mercedes-Benz eActros units with 600 kWh batteries capable of 310-mile ranges. A further USD 20.96 million upgrade of 38 truck stops introduces high-capacity chargers and improved driver amenities, lowering range-anxiety barriers for electric haulage. Cold-chain transport emits 14.1 MtCO2e annually, making temperature-controlled electrification a regulatory priority. ISO 14001 certification is becoming table stakes in public-sector tenders, thereby rewarding 3PLs that invest early in sustainable assets.

Driver & Warehouse-Labor Shortage

The country is short 50,000 HGV drivers, with supply at 320,000 against demand for 370,000, limiting the expansion pace of the United Kingdom's third-party logistics market. The average driver age is 51, and 55% are within 50-65, signaling worsening attrition. Labor costs absorb more than 40% of 3PL operating spend and rose sharply after 19% of firms reported vacancies in early 2024. A USD 20.96 million fund to modernize 38 truck stops aims to improve job attractiveness, yet high housing costs in London and Manchester deter recruits. Warehouse labor gaps compound the issue as EU workers depart post-Brexit, pushing 3PLs toward robots and AI-driven slotting.

Other drivers and restraints analyzed in the detailed report include:

  1. Warehouse Automation & Robotics Adoption
  2. Post-Brexit Near-Shoring & Customs-Integrated 3PL Demand
  3. Brexit-Related Customs Friction & Paperwork

Segment Analysis

The United Kingdom's third-party logistics market size attributable to Domestic Transportation Management stood at 41.45% share in 2025, mirroring the island nation's road-centric freight patterns. International Transportation Management remains critical for cross-border trade but wrestles with customs-driven volatility that depresses margins. Value-Added Warehousing & Distribution is accelerating at 7.01% CAGR as e-commerce clients outsource high-touch pick-pack, returns, and kitting tasks. Automated storage systems, climate-controlled chambers, and integrated customs areas turn warehouses into revenue-rich nodes rather than cost centers. Government road and rail upgrades worth USD 116.8 billion unlock intermodal plays, but the United Kingdom's third-party logistics market share for roads stays dominant through 2031 because urban consumption clusters hug motorway spines. Rail and short-sea players niche into renewable-energy projects requiring oversized-cargo moves, complementing rather than displacing trucking.

Growing enterprise reliance on warehousing has re-shaped contract structures. Clients demand variable-cost pricing tied to order lines, which suits the scalable nature of robotic picking. Cold-chain facilities earn premiums as climate-sensitive food and pharmaceutical flows expand. As automation compresses labor needs, operators redeploy headcount into value-added configuration and quality-check tasks. 3PLs that layer predictive analytics on inventory get preferred-supplier status, reinforcing consolidation trends.
