The Brazilian Association of Logistics Operators (ABOL) will be present at the ILOS 2024 Forum, where it will introduce the market to the new edition of the Logistics Operators Profile in Brazil. The survey, commissioned by the entity to the Institute of Logistics and Supply Chain (ILOS), will be detailed by ABOL’s executive director, Marcella Cunha, on the second day of the event, taking place between October 15 and 17 at the Golden Hall of the Sheraton WTC in São Paulo. She will be accompanied by ILOS’s partner manager, Beatris Huber. The presentation will begin at 3:20 pm on Stage B.
Held since 2014 and every two years, the study analyzes the performance of the operators and also shows details on the importance, evolution, challenges, and aspirations of the sector. The result of the current research, which had the collaboration of 1,300 companies, including those associated with ABOL, revealed a 15% increase in Gross Operating Revenue (ROB) of Logistics Operators, rising from R$166 billion in 2021 to R$192 billion in 2023.
The decarbonization journey of Logistics Operators is among the new features of the research, showing that companies intend to reduce, on average, 37% of CO2 emissions within eight years, or even eliminate them in the next 20 to 26 years. It is no wonder that Logistics Operators are creating increasingly dedicated areas to address the issue. The perception of Logistics Operators regarding Brazilian port and airport infrastructures also appears for the first time in the study.
In the case of ports, operators believe that structural improvements are necessary, as only 18% do not point out logistic bottlenecks in operations. Logistics Operators also highlighted the existence of potential opportunities for improvement in airport infrastructure for cargo transportation.
“Since 2022, the disclosure of the profile on the ILOS Forum is part of the schedule for releasing new data on the sector. It is an excellent opportunity to give even more visibility to research, providing relevant information to experts and executives that can be used for the strategic planning of companies over the next two years,” highlights Marcella.
