THE ERA OF LOGISTICS IS HERE.
Never has the importance of supply chains been more widely acknowledged by
societies in connecting people and improving lives. On an unprecedented level,
we are seeing businesses transform logistics from a quiet, back-end operation
into a strategic asset and value driver. At the same time, more technology
visionaries than ever before are beginning to understand the vast, ripening
opportunities in the logistics industry to develop and apply their innovative
solutions around the world.
At DHL, we believe that success in this new era requires innovation:
inspiration, open exchange, and deep collaboration. By sharing The Logistics
Trend Radar 6.0, we invite you – our customers, colleagues, and partners – to
connect with us and jointly shape the Era of Logistics.
Katja Busch
CHIEF COMMERCIAL OFFICER DHL & HEAD OF DHL CUSTOMER SOLUTIONS & INNOVATION
WHAT'S NEW
The DHL Trend Research team has been closely monitoring the various social,
business, and technology trends over the past two years.
Since the launch of the previous edition of The Logistics Trend Radar, we have
witnessed several interesting developments that have influenced trends’
realization and impact on the logistics industry. Additionally, through
conversations with customers, colleagues, and partners, we have identified ways
to improve the user experience of the Trend Radar to drive deeper discussions
and more innovation collaboration. Overall, this has led to several changes in
the design, approach, and composition of Trend Radar 6.0, of which the most
noteworthy are categorized here.
* New & Returning Trends
* Refocused Trends
* Remodeled Trends
* New Perspectives & Lenses
New & Returning Trends
NEW & RETURNING TRENDS
As technologies develop and community values change, new trends emerge and their
relevance begin to intersect with the logistics industry. Meanwhile, other
trends have appeared in past editions but have been removed as macro forces push
them outside of the Trend Radar’s 10-year realization scope. For Trend Radar
6.0, we welcome completely new trends, as well as reintroduce returning trends
from previous editions, as elements of these trends become relevant to supply
chains within the coming decade.
Previous Next
Refocused Trends
REFOCUSED TRENDS
Collecting feedback, we learned from users of the previous Trend Radar that the
trends sometimes seemed unbalanced – that some trends were too broad in scope,
while others were at an appropriate level to drive innovation-centered strategy
and conversations. To rectify this, we have refocused the broader developments,
retiring them and uplifting many of their components onto the trend level. In
doing so, users can now see these previously hidden topics showcased directly on
the Trend Radar.
Next
Remodeled Trends
REMODELED TRENDS
As part of the process, we re-evaluated all trends and their composition of
logistics-related concepts. For some, we have added new opportunities and use
cases that have recently developed, while for others, we have subtracted
components that have lost relevancy to supply chains. For these trends, we have
provided new names to better represent their recomposition. Simultaneously, some
trends, while remaining consistent in their relevance and content, have been
renamed to reflect more commonly-used terminology.
Previous Next
New Perspectives & Lenses
NEW PERSPECTIVES & LENSES
We believe that innovation discussions regarding the 40 trends on the Trend
Radar should be framed in more ways than just by industry sector. Therefore, we
have introduced two new perspectives (Focus Areas and Trend Clusters) to
accompany Sectors for users to approach and engage with the Trend Radar. Each of
these perspectives has six lenses that group trends according to their
respective themes.
Previous
DEVELOPING THE RADAR
We update the Logistics Trend Radar every two years to reflect how we at DHL
view the key social, business, and technology trends within the logistics
industry.
Our unique and integrated customer-centric innovation approach empowers us to
harness the most relevant perspectives for logistics transformation directly
from our valued customers and colleagues engaged in daily operations. We
complement these insights using classic research methodologies, and incorporate
the work of multiple experts, including key opinion leaders from influential
think tanks, renowned consultancy firms, and top-tier academia from around the
world.
* Megatrends
* Macro Forces
* Innovators
Megatrends
Major movements and patterns – namely globalization, e-commerce, digitalization,
and sustainability – have gradually transformed the logistics industry over the
past decades and will continue to do so in the future. We inspect how these
megatrends further shape the needs of societies and industries and the supply
chains that serve them.
Macroforces
As drivers of change extending beyond whole industries, macro forces influence
the acceleration and importance of trends and their placement on our Trend
Radar. We evaluate the growth and decline of macro forces over the last two
years, as well as how they compound or conflict with one another. They are
numerous, but some examples are societal values, demographics, climate change,
the Covid-19 pandemic, urbanization, consumer behavior, geopolitical events, and
labor shortages, among many others.
Innovators
Researchers, inventors, developers, visionaries, and providers of technologies
play a crucial role in the advancements that revolutionize the logistics
industry. By collaborating with such innovators early on, we here at DHL derive
invaluable insights into sophisticated technological breakthroughs and new
possibilities on the horizon.
INNOVATION PHILOSOPHY
It is our core belief that delivering meaningful innovation can only be achieved
by staying close to customers, close to technology, and close to operations:
CLOSE TO CUSTOMERS
We cultivate honest conversations and engagement with our customers about
business strategies, future needs, and pain points in order to validate ideas,
develop use cases, and leverage technologies and expertise. We achieve success
through strong customer buy-in and close collaboration.
CLOSE TO TECHNOLOGY
We connect the logistics and the digital worlds, tracking and engaging visionary
developers and providers of all kinds and staying at the forefront of emerging
technology and supply chain innovation. This enables us to identify and
co-create new solutions beneficial to our customers.
CLOSE TO OPERATIONS
We leverage our own global DHL logistics operations to improve logistics
efficiency, quality, and safety. The significant time we spend on site with
facility managers and workers to visualize and implement solutions benefits both
our customer and colleagues.
DRIVING INNOVATION
Our end-to-end innovation project approach starts with customer engagements,
technology scouting, and research, which helps us understand social and business
trends, as well as technological breakthroughs.
This forms the basis of our Logistics Trends Radar and additional thought
leadership trend reports. With a finger on the pulse of the relevant trends, we
run proof of concept projects in real-world supply chain settings with our
customers and within the DHL network of operations to fully understand the
benefits and challenges of applications. Successful projects open up
opportunities for productization and scaling, so that these solutions are
available internally across DHL operations and commercially to customers.
