India Logistics Market Overview and Size:
India has been ranked at 4th position in the world in railway freight traffic after China, the US, and Russia. Under the land freight corridors, 65% of domestic freight volume carried through the road; high compared to ~50% in developed countries. India Logistics Market has witnessed an average CAGR during FY14-FY19 due to favorable policy reforms from the government continued investment in infrastructure by both the government and the private sector; the influx of foreign players in the market in recent years, increasing consolidation, and investing in innovative technologies has stimulated growth in the market.
India Logistics Market Segmentation:
Freight Transportation
India’s transportation market forms the largest chunk of the logistics sector with over 50% share in terms of revenues during FY’2019, due to relatively higher traffic congestion & lack of flexibility in other modes, and comparatively low barriers of entry in road freight. Small fleet owners dominated industry (70% of all fleet) operating at a margin of 8-12% and average transaction days of 12-15 per month. These SFOs primarily operate on Spot bookings while MFOs and LFOs working on LHAs. A slowdown in the economy, especially the core sectors is adversely affecting demand. Excluding November, IIP has fallen during Aug-Dec 2019, (largest fall of 4.6% in Sep) Capital Goods and Consumer Durables’ production declined by 18.2% and 6.7% respectively.
In the future, IR and GoI are actively making efforts to make rail freight competitive with road freight. Eastern and Western DFCs are expected to be fully operational by 2020, and 4 more corridors are in the pipeline. IR is also looking to rationalize rail freight rates.
Warehousing
Warehousing Industry in India is home to 200+ organized players and numerous unorganized players. India’s warehousing market has shown steady growth over the last few years on the back of continued institutional investment, ever-increasing demand, and consolidation in the industry, especially after the passing of the GST Act. It has been estimated that around 90% of overall warehousing space controlled by the unorganized sector. Unorganized players offer prices ~50% below the market rates as compared to organized players but offer only storage. More than 20% of warehouse space is concentrated in 8 major cities: Mumbai, NCR, Pune, Hyderabad, Bengaluru, Kolkata, Chennai, Ahmedabad. Industrial Warehouses form the largest share of the warehousing space in the country, with a Grade-A warehouse becoming the new benchmark for quality. Investment has been rising in the sector owing to 100% FDI allowance, higher cap rates around 150-200 bps1 greater as compared to commercial assets and approval and funding risk for greenfield investments
Cold Chain
It has been estimated that about 40% of the food produced in the country (67 million tones) valued at ₹92 billion is wasted in 2018 at all levels from harvesting to the end stage of consumption. Of this, 4.6-15.9% of food wastage happens in fruits and vegetables, 5.2% in inland fish, 10.5% in marine fish, 2.7% in meat, and 6.7% in poultry meat. Owing to this, the cold chain market in India has shown a robust growth with a CAGR of 10.1% during the period 2014-2019 in terms of revenues. The growth was primarily due to the growing production and storage of frozen products. It has been observed that more than 60% of the total cold warehouse capacity only suitable only for storing potato. The cold chain industry is highly fragmented with 3,500+ cold storage and transportation players.
