The logistics sector is on the increase as US businesses spent a record $1.64tn on logistics in 2018, up 11.4% from the prior year and accounting for eight percent of GDP. Industry experts view the logistics share of GDP as a measure of the efficiency of transportation and distribution networks. With trillions of dollars spent on the industry, there is an increasing demand for highly skilled workers. Therefore, recruitment is crucial for the industry to meet the demands of the sector.

Oversight and data are vital aids for any extensive organization today - especially the US military. For the US Air Force, the Integrated Logistics System provides this, whether you're looking for information on the number of aircraft tires or satellites. But the functions of the system go much further than that, as it also has a part to play in ordering, storage, tracking and movement of supplies, as well as organizational account management, financial reporting, inventory control and contractor-provided weapon system support.

Leading the way in green procurement was at the center of an executive order recently signed by President Biden. The order focuses on ensuring the government is using public procurement to model sustainable, environmentally-sound purchasing to reduce greenhouse gasses and other forms of pollution. The order also established long-term goals in targeted industries, such as electric power and water, and as a result sectors such as these are likely to see stricter federal procurement sustainability requirements.

Supply chain infrastructure has become a key focus in the past year and now a new project is going to improve the situation in the Southeast. Named the 'Alabama-USA Corridor,' the program is designed to improve the infrastructure that connects the Port of Mobile to Birmingham and then the entire Southeast. The focus on improving rail connections in supply chain infrastructure has become increasingly important, as the past 10 years have seen a swift uptick in business at the port. A $231 million investment will be required to bring the Alabama-USA Corridor to life and the first phase is likely to cost somewhere in the region of $71 million.

Green power in America has some of the firmest foundations that it has ever had to work from in 2022. An eco-minded president and some significant targets at both federal and state-level mean that US renewables procurement is a very hot topic right now. There is plenty of inspirational competition, too, from countries such as China, which recently took the title of largest offshore wind market from the UK. Key to the renewable future in America will be areas such as the Central Atlantic zone - and equally important will be the supply chains and procurement that support the way in which renewables projects evolve.

Amazon has a reputation as a business that is keen on innovation and the retailer has created many logistics and supply chain jobs through its actions over the years. That's especially so with respect to the behind-the-scenes planning that has gone into Amazon's approach to the complex journey that can be involved in a product purchase. What many don't realize is that Amazon has actually been making its own containers, leasing cargo planes, and chartering cargo ships for many years.

Fleet electrification is a key goal that could make it easier for sustainability targets to be met. However, there are many obstacles in the way of this, including a lack of information and resources to make it happen. Now, Catalyze and Microgrid Labs are joining forces to combine software and clean energy transitions to help make it easier for fleets across the US to integrate electrification. Working with fleet owners across the country, the clean energy partnership will provide help and support with all aspects of the clean energy process, including financing, implementation and operations.

Military procurement is a vital part of the sector when it comes to procurement jobs. It has been announced that Northrop Grumman has won a $354 million U.S. Navy contract to supply aircraft for the French Navy. The aircraft in question are three E-2D Advanced Hawkeye airborne early warning and control aircraft. The procurement is going ahead under a Foreign Military Sales (FMS) agreement between the French Defense Procurement Agency and the U.S. government. Production will start on the aircraft in 2024 and it is thought that the three planes could be the last ever E-2Ds to come off the production line.

Sheffield, Yorkshire looks like it could soon be the home of a major new logistics site that could generate around 450 jobs for the local area.

Innovation is constantly transforming the logistics industry and providing opportunities to streamline and introduce greater efficiencies. Double roll cage robots are the latest technology that look set to transform the sector and create advantages for businesses in UK grocery. These autonomous mobile robots are capable of taking over the job of heavy load transport and order picking in warehouses and logistics operations. The robots have been designed specifically for the grocery sector – with the ability to continue to operate even on rough surfaces and at temperatures of -25° C to +40°C without degradation of battery life. As the robots are only 17cm high they are able to fit into much smaller spaces than many of the other robots that are already on the market, which gives them a great deal more versatility. The machines are capable of transporting loads of up to 1,000kg and take just 1.5 hours to achieve a full charge from 10% to 100%.

Over the past decade the German economy has experienced an impressive boom thanks to the impact of globalisation. However, the pandemic has caused many issues, especially because German businesses now rely on a complex international network of supply chains. That network was once the momentum for growth but, over the past year or so, has proved to be a serious vulnerability. As a result, more than half of German companies doing business abroad are now struggling with supply chains or logistics problems.

Transportation costs remain the most significant part of logistics budgets for many companies today. According to industry specialists, the cost of transport makes up around 58% of average corporate logistics costs. As the past year has seen a huge rise in the need for local delivery services (eCommerce purchases made up 14% of all sales last year) this is putting even more strain on this part of the budget.

The supply chain crisis affecting Asia Pacific continues to roll on with new warnings that Hong Kong exporters now face the prospect of missing the peak season of Christmas, as goods are still not moving. With a severe shortage of containers still affecting many businesses at the small and medium sized end of the market, fears of cancelled orders are becoming a very real threat. Many of the delays in shipping have resulted in customers also refusing to hand over payments until progress has been made and this is having a significant impact on the cash flow of many small and medium sized enterprises.
