The logistical services industry has always revolves around the movement – intimidating goods, ideas and economies forward. But in 2025, the focus turned into a move quickly, faster adaptation, and remaining at the top of the turmoil. With economic uncertainty, geopolitical tensions, and supply chains of digital transformation, the 2025 logistical transfer is to be one of the most important industrial communities in the years.
At a recent press conference, Robert Shinberger, Director of Logistics Transport Exhibitions at Messe München GmbH, identified what is in the store, and most importantly, the urgent challenges that logistical professionals must address.
Despite the signs of economic slowdown in Europe, the Transport Logistic 2025 will be the largest version in its history, hosting more than 2,500 exhibitors from 70 countries over an area of 150,000 square meters of the exhibition area.
“Nine out of ten respondents in our global poll in industry believe that long -term expectations are positive,” he said. “This reflects the elasticity of logistics. The industry has always found a way forward, adapting to new challenges and seizing emerging opportunities.”
However, this optimism is a difficult fact. The supply chains are exposed to tremendous pressure, traditional trade patterns are transformed, and logistics providers must rethink strategies to stay able to compete.
Rapid expansion of e -commerce, high -value shipments, and pharmaceutical logistical services by air shipping as a major global trade engine. Transport Logistics 2025 will see its largest offer ever in Europe, which confirms the increasing importance of the sector in modern supply chains.
“The air cargo industry has witnessed major changes, especially in the postpartum era,” Shinberger noted. “More airlines and logistics companies realize that flexibility and reliability in air freight is no longer optional but necessary.”
With the growth of allocated charging fleets, investments expanded in the cold chain logs, and the Shipping management solutions operating in Amnesty International, air cargo develops faster than ever.
Geopolitical uncertainty
The world supply chain map is rewritten due to geopolitical transformations.
- The American -Chinese commercial relationship remains fragile, which prompted companies to diversify the sources, with Vietnam, India and Mexico as strong alternatives.
- Commercial penalties and organizational changes lead to a reinstating chain of supply and increased operational complexity.
- The war in Ukraine forced companies to rethink logistics services in Eastern Europe, which has increased demand for multimedia transport solutions.
“Every executive official of the supply series we talk to is to reassess their strategy,” said Shinberger. “The focus of time is the right to elasticity and the ability to adapt.”
For logistical service providers, these geopolitical transformations require more light movement, alternative transport methods, and reinforced risk management strategies.
Digital Revolution
The logistical services industry passes a technological transformation, as artificial intelligence and automation have become necessary, not optional.
However, with digital transformation comes an increase in Internet risk.
- A third of the logistical services companies included in the survey have reported the exposure of electronic attacks, which last more than a week.
- CYBERCRIME is now a greater danger to provide chains of traditional security threats such as stealing goods.
- Artificial intelligence and automation, with improving efficiency, progressing new weaknesses, making cybersecurity the priority of industry.
“If logistical services do not enhance its cybersecurity, it may become the weakest of global trade.”
Logistics transport will put 2025 security, automation and automation strategies that rely on AI at the forefront of discussions, highlighting companies ’need to build safe and digital supply chains.
Sustainability
The focus on the sustainability has moved from a theory discussion to an operational necessity. Companies can no longer bear the delay in environmental obligations, with organizational pressure and customer expectations for immediate work.
“The industry needs more than just future aspirations. Companies need practical and implementable solutions, which is exactly what we aim to display in the transfer of 2025 logistics,” said Shinberger.
The main sustainability trends include:
- Wide -range adoption of carbon fingerprint tracking technology.
- The increasing role of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), although production restrictions.
- The shift towards green supply chains, with trucks who are priority to the environmentally friendly logistical service providers.
The logistical transport itself takes a proactive approach to sustainability, eliminating carpets in exhibition halls and encouraging those present to reduce emissions related to the event.
“There is no permanent challenge in logistics,” Shinberger concluded. “Every disorder forces new solutions. This is what we will see in Transport Logistic 2025 – a ready -to -invent industry again.”
