United Kingdom E-commerce Logistics Industry Overview
The e-commerce logistics market in the United Kingdom is quite concentrated and vibrant. Several key players in the market are actively competing to provide efficient and reliable logistics services to support the e-commerce industry.
The major players include Royal Mail, DPD, Hermes, Amazon Logistics, and DHL. The competition among these companies has led to continuous innovation and improvement in logistics services, ultimately benefiting both businesses and consumers.
DHL Supply Chain (DSC) and AutoStore (AutoStore), the world’s leading contract logistics provider, are growing their partnership in a strategic move to further automate warehouse operations worldwide. DHL, which is already involved in nine operating AutoStore warehouse projects and has four more in the pipeline, is set to become one of the largest 3PL clients of AutoStore, further reinforcing its commitment to digitization and automation.
