A majority of logistics customers, particularly from the industrial manufacturing sector, approach logistic service providers capable of managing their inbound procurements and supplier collaborations. Provisioning of inbound raw material supplier solutions demands a multi-tier solution capable of computing all required raw material and packaging needs. A 4PL solution includes the entire procure-to-pay process managed as part of their multi-party and multi-echelon network.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Australia 4PL Market
The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in a massive rise in parcel movements, particularly e-commerce deliveries, straining the present service model of Australia Post. Similarly, the pandemic put pressure on the freight & logistics industry across the country as there was a high demand for the home delivery of food and medical supplies. In response to the unprecedented growth in e-commerce in Australia, retailers and buyers had to change how things were sold and acquired. While uncertainties associated with COVID-19 harmed much of Australia's economy, it aided in the acceleration of e-commerce adoption, creating demand for high-quality, well-located warehouse space. Furthermore, a rebound in local food processing and a rise in incentives by governments in the housing and infrastructure sector are fueling the demand for logistics services in the manufacturing and construction sectors in Australia. In 2022, the industrial & logistics sector would continue to grow with many investors looking to rebalance their portfolios to take advantage of this demand, while landlords anticipate a robust surge in rent from a growing tenant base. Hence, the COVID-19 pandemic had a minimal impact on the Australia 4PL market.
