Indonesian Logistics Association (ALI) revealed their
view on logistics business trend in 2018.
According to them, logistics business will look
positive with estimated growth of 10%.
"In the future, we believe it can go above 10% every
year," ALI Chairman
Zaldy Ilham Masita said, as cited from Bisnis.com on Tuesday (November 7, 2017).
In relation to this, “Data and Outlook of Transportation, Logistics, and Infrastructure 2009-2019”from
Duniaindustri.com shows that the
market of transportation and logistics sectors will reach Rp 3,680 trillion in 2019.
The biggest contributor to this growth is predicted to
be e-commerce trade. The online trade has created shift in the current trade
system.
"There is a shift in commerce, trade from offline to
online. We are already facing it," President Joko Widodo said, as cited from Kompas.com on Wednesday (September 20, 2017).
The fact that buyers and sellers no longer need to
meet face-to-face, in addition to the geographical condition of Indonesia as an
archipelago country, has affected logistics industry positively, whether in
transportationor temporary storage (warehousing) services.
Considering the view of ALI Chairman Zaldy Ilham, logistics growth will be supported by outsource in
logistics handling, from companies to third parties.This is in line with the spirit of efficiency, as felt
by the e-commerce.
It
will be even more efficient if the services are offered in packages, so that
the business players can just hand over the entire process, which they can do through
SELOG’s Contract Logisticsservice.
