The new DHL Logistics Trend Radar is an essential strategic tool for companies. This edition highlights key trends, particularly AI and sustainability, as significant drivers shaping the future of businesses, consumer behavior, and technology over the next decade. It equips companies to remain competitive in a rapidly evolving market.
Since the release of the previous Logistics Trend Radar in 2022, DHL has seen significant developments that have influenced both the adoption and impact of various trends, shifting their position on the radar.
Through extensive collaboration with customers, colleagues, and partners, DHL has also identified new trends that foster deeper discussions and accelerate innovation in logistics. These changes have shaped the latest Logistics Trend Radar 7.0 emphasizing trends expected to be adopted within the next five years and key advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) and sustainability.
The foundation of the Logistics Trend Radar is DHL’s customer-focused, integrated approach, which enables DHL to leverage the insights of its customers and the on-the-ground experiences of DHL, actively driving logistics transformation. DHL supplements these insights with traditional research methodologies and incorporates assessments from various experts, including thought leaders from influential think tanks, renowned consultancy firms, and top academic institutions worldwide.
