WORLD LOGISTICS COUNCIL | New Dimensions in Global Shipping

1. The global logistics industry connects the world economy.

2. Today, the world freight bill alone is nearly $4 trillion a year...

...and it is expected to grow to over $14 trillion by the year 2020.

3. This industry is under extreme global pressure.

4. The world logistics infrastructure cannot keep up with the growth.

5. The inefficiency of the industry is dramatically increasing costs in the flow of global commerce.

6. Global commerce is under continuous threat from cargo terrorism.

The industry needs a change.

The change cannot be tailored for one country...

or one region...

the change must be global.

Technology alone cannot and will not solve the problem.
