Market Share of Japan Third-Party Logistics (3PL) Industry

The market is pretty small, and its biggest players are Yusen Logistics, Expeditors, DHL, Hitachi Transport System, and Kuehne Nagel. Retail and manufacturing companies that handle their own logistics also play a big role in the market.

Japan's e-commerce market is growing at a rate that has never been seen before. This is reflected in the rapid growth of value-added services in Japan.As a result, packaging, labeling, and sorting activities have seen a large spike in the Japanese logistics industry.

To deal with the high demand and lack of workers in the country, steps can be taken like joint or shared delivery, which sends goods from multiple companies to common delivery points, platform apps, which help delivery companies find drivers with empty truck space and shippers, the use of small warehouses in cities as intermediate distribution centers, and collection logistics.

The goal of the changes in the logistics industry, like the use of self-driving machines and vehicles, is to get rid of the sector's carbon footprint on the economy as a whole.
