Third Party Logistics – An Overview
Third Party Logistics (3PL), the concept of a single professional logistics service provider managing the entire logistics functions of a company, had originated in the developed economies of Europe and America, to relieve industries from huge logistics costs apart from the hassles of dealing with multiple in-coherent logistics service providers. It proved to be immensely successful in improving logistics efficiency of majority of industries and quickly gained popularity, spreading across the globe. In the process, several professional logistics service providers offering that kind of services have emerged to be leading 3PL providers with operations in multiple continents.
Today, 3PL providers offer all logistics services such as warehousing and transportation,packing ,supply chain planning.

Growth of 3PL Industry in India
The Indian 3PL industry can be divided into three distinct tiers - National Major 3PL companies with nationwide presence, Regional 3PL companies with strong presence in one or two regions, and Small Remote 3PL companies. The number of participants in this industry had grown to be more than 400 by year 2005.
A lot of multinational automobile makers, like Suzuki, Honda, and Ford, have set up manufacturing bases in India, and have been major users of 3PL services. Expansion of manufacturing facilities by most of these companies indicates huge potential for 3PL services in this industry. Other sectors that have shown substantial contribution to 3PL market and significant growth potential include the information technology (IT) hardware and electronics, Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG), and retail sectors.
Infrastructure limitations in India, which limit the scope of logistics services package are another concern for 3PL service providers. The congested roadways and ports resulting in significant delay in movement of goods, affect the performance of 3PL service providers. Similarly, lack of sufficient warehousing and specialized storage facilities beyond major cities of the country result in 3PL service providers to restrain from offering warehousing services across the country, hence resulting in their failure to become the complete logistics service providers for clients. Building own warehousing facilities in strategic geographic locations that would serve as hubs for specific regions, could address this problem.
The increasing list of multinational companies starting operations in India is expected to fuel the growth of 3PL market. Entry of giants like BMW, Flextronics, and Wal-Mart are expected to contribute to considerable growth of 3PL usage in their respective industry sectors. The opening up of the Indian economy to foreign investments is expected to attract more companies into the country, thereby adding momentum to 3PL market growth. The wide-spread information technology awareness and expertise in India is also expected to help 3PL companies in offering several value added services using IT such as Fleet Management Systems, Warehouse Management Systems, and integrated Supply Chain Management systems.
