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 across an area of 150,000 square meters.
“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 in e -commerce, high -value shipments and pharmaceutical logistical services are local conditions as a major craft for global trade. 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 aviation conditions are 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, and pays it
Companies to diversify sources, with Vietnam, India, and
Emerging Mexico as strong alternatives.
• Commercial penalties and organizational changes lead to the reinstalization of the supply chain and the increase in 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.
• I reported a third of the logistical services companies included in the survey that suffers from Internet attacks, which lasts for more than a week.
• Cyber crimes are now a greater risk to provide chains of traditional security threats such as stealing goods.
• Artificial intelligence and automation, with improving efficiency, new introduction
Weakness, which makes cybersecurity the priority of industry.
“If logistical services do not enhance its cybersecurity, it may become the weakest of global trade.”
The Transport Logistic 2025 will put logistics, automation, automation, and cyber security at the forefront of discussions, highlighting the need of companies to build safe and digital supply chains.
“The industry needs more than just future ambitions. Companies need practical and implementable solutions, which is exactly what we aim to display in Transport Logistic 2025.”
“There is no permanent challenge in logistics,” Shinberger concluded.
