DUBLIN–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The “Transport and Logistics Trends in South Africa 2023” report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.
South Africa’s commercial activity and economic performance are closely linked to its ability to transport goods within and beyond its borders. Although the growth of the economy is a clear driver of the logistics sector, the sector outpaced economic growth in the last two years. Although South Africa’s transport infrastructure is among the best on the continent, a lack of maintenance and infrastructure investment, with a resultant shift from rail to road, as well as congested and inefficient ports, has led to high usage costs. The sector is plagued by low economic growth, rising fuel prices, loadshedding, a lack of skills, collapsing infrastructure and crime. Government has recently renewed its commitment to fix the problems in the sector.
Technology
New technologies are facilitating transparent, responsive supply chains by locating and tracking the movement of goods, monitoring movement of workers in warehouses, recording and storing data and transactions, reducing fraud, assisting drivers with route and load information and connecting transporters and freight owners to match demand with supply. Robots are being used to pick inventory, load pallets, and move cargo in the warehouse. New technology developments have the potential to mitigate increasing costs through improved efficiencies, and to support new business models that facilitate increased profitability.
