According to recent reports, the eCommerce sector will be the biggest growth factor in India’s logistics industry going forward.  

ECommerce is growing at a rate of 35-40% which has led to big players increasing their eCommerce logistics departments. India’s eCommerce market is currently just over $5 billion but forecasts expect to see that grow to $300 billion in the next 15 years. Estimates also believe that by 2020, “e-tailing” will capture over 20% of the entire retail industry in India. (Source: www.bgr.in)
