Sales & Marketing Master Class in Logistics Industry
Singapore,
14 – 16 November 2011
Logistics is one of the fastest growing industries (in Asia) and the second largest single market in the world (behind healthcare). The market in Asia for logistics services is a global cross-border business. Many multinational logistics players have expanded their Asian presence in order to support the growing presence of their international clients in Asia. With 12 of the world’s top 20 busiest seaports and 8 of the top 20 busiest cargo-handling airports located in Asia, the logistics sector is expected to continue to be a key economic contributor in the region in the years to come.
UPS Asia Business Monitor in 2008 states that “…intra-Asia trade is the fastest growing trade region in the world. Intra-Asia trade volumes are expected to keep economies in Asia stable despite growing economic woes worldwide”.
The logistics industry is poised for high growth in Asia, and is expected to grow at about double the pace of growth as compared to the rest of the world. Datamonitor Market Research expects the logistics industry in Asia to grow at a CAGR of 10.1% for the five-year period 2008-2013 compared to a CAGR of 5.6%4 over the same period for the rest of the world.
However, most companies are still lagging behind in terms of marketing and sales excellence.
