3PL providers have everything to gain from this increasing global phenomenon of outsourcing and globalization. Following a non-asset based model, 3PL providers have more flexibility in a softer demand environment than asset-based carriers as these providers do not need to own planes, ships, fleet of trucks or a substantial fixed cost network.
The 3PL industry is highly fragmented with the global presence of around 4000 3PL providers. Although there are a large number of companies competing in one or more segments of the industry, but the number of firms with a global network that offer a full complement of logistics services is more limited.
