Ten years after the inaugural launch of the UK Logistics Confidence Index, this year’s overall result has slipped to 50.4 from last year’s highly optimistic score of 62.5, reflecting a sense of realism in the sector as it readjusts to the challenges of high inflation, soaring energy prices and a more uncertain economic landscape.
It’s fair to say that there are still reasons for optimism, despite the gathering clouds on the economic horizon and ongoing concerns around skills shortages and the labour market. There is currently still growth in the UK logistics market with some areas of very strong demand, with many operators well positioned to take advantage of this.
