World trade will double in 30 years, production of goods will reach 2 trillion dollars
Explaining how vital the logistics industry is in the world in the pandemic, TTT Global President Dr. Akın Arslan continued his speech as follows:
“The world was caught unprepared for Covid-19. In order for life to fit into the house, it was inevitable that someone would continue to produce and the trucks were on the roads. According to the World Trade Organization (WTO) data; Global goods production was around $ 2019 trillion, down 2.8% in 18.9. In 2020, this figure dropped a little further and was around $ 18 trillion. The world economy is expected to rebound and grow 2021% in 5. Goods produced in a part of the world can reach their customers by traveling an average of 6.500-7.000 kilometers under international trade conditions. Access to quality markets will become much more important in the coming years. World trade is expected to grow at least 30 times and goods production to reach 2 trillion dollars in 40 years. 1/3 of the trade in the world is somehow related to logistics. If you cannot deliver the goods you produce on time in accordance with the expectations of the customer, there is no point in producing it. The basis of the supply system is the continuity and sustainability of the supply. 99% of trade is logistics. Logistics costs (including transportation and storage) in international trade can sometimes rise up to 60% of the product cost. It is around 20-25% in many products. Therefore, the logistics sector will increase its vital importance in the upcoming period. As a matter of fact, the distribution of Covid-19 vaccines alone has created a great excitement in the sector. Covis-19 vaccines paved the way for a new commercial movement of up to 1 trillion dollars, in which cold chain storage and transportation costs will be realized as close to 40% ”.
