Transport Executives – India and Dubai
“The world isn’t in your books and maps; it’s out there” J.R.R. Tolkien – The Hobbit.
When one thinks of scale and excellence in transport, the mind wanders to the French Airbus, the German Autobahn or even the timeous trains of the United Kingdom. At Bespoke Immersions, we stretch the learning beyond comfort and take our clients to places they wouldn’t ordinarily think of exploring with confidence and enthusiasm.
A group of transport executives were curious to explore the transport and logistics sector in the Middle East and Asia, and we curated an impactful programme exploring the magnitude of Dubai as a global transport and logistics hub and contrasting India as a mammoth operation of moving over a billion people and even more in terms of goods across the country.
The Story of India
According to www.statista.com, some critical facts about the transport and logistics sector in India include:
- Logistics spending in India contributes to 14 per cent of the overall GDP of India, wherein road logistics has the largest share with 60 per cent of the overall market spending.
- The inter-city road logistics spend in India stood at USD 209 billion in 2021, accounting for around 87 per cent of total road logistics spend
- Out of this, the on-demand/spot market accounted for 63 per cent of the total spend, while the contract market accounted for the remaining 37 per cent.
- Metros accounted for as much as 40 per cent or USD 84 billion of the total inter-city logistics spend of USD 209 billion.
- In 2020, more than half of the e-commerce logistics market in India was taken by big e-commerce platforms’ logistics wings. At the end of 2020, Amazon Transportation Services accounted for nearly 2.75 million daily shipments, making it the country’s most prominent e-commerce logistics provider.
- Large clients’ increased focus on core businesses and outsourcing logistics to third-party logistics make warehousing a critical market. The market value of warehousing across the country was estimated to reach almost six billion U.S. dollars in the fiscal year 2025, from 2.1 billion dollars in the fiscal year 2018.
