Warehousing and Storage Industry Overview
The warehousing and storage services market is competitive, mainly because of the presence of several players. The competition is expected to intensify because of the relatively low entry barriers. Long-term partnerships, mergers, acquisitions, and high investments in warehouse management software are the prime growth strategies adopted by companies to sustain the growing competition. Some major players operating in the market include DHL International Gmbh, XPO Logistics Inc., and FedEx Corp, among others.
