ABOL presents Logistic Operators 2024 profile at ILOs Forum

The Brazilian Association of Logistics Operators (ABOL) will be present at the ILOS Forum 2024, where it will present to the market the new edition of the Profile of Logistics Operators in Brazil. The survey, commissioned by the entity to the Institute of Logistics and Supply Chain (ILOS), will be detailed by the executive director of ABOL, Marcella Cunha, on the second day of the event, which takes place between October 15 and 17, at the Golden Hall of the Sheraton WTC, in the state capital. She will be accompanied by the ILOS managing partner, Beatris Huber.

Promoted since 2014 and every two years, the study analyzes the performance of operators and also shows details about the importance, evolution, challenges and aspirations of the sector. The result of the current research, which counted on the collaboration of 1,300 companies, including those associated with ABOL, revealed an increase of 15% in the Operating Gross Revenue (ROB) of OLs, from R$166 billion in 2021 to R$192 billion in 2023.

The journey of decarbonization of OLs is among the novelties of the research, showing that companies intend to reduce, on average, 37% of CO2 emissions in up to eight years, or even to zero them in the next 20 to 26 years. It is no wonder that OLs are creating areas increasingly dedicated to address the topic. The perception of OLs in relation to Brazilian port and airport infrastructures also appears for the first time in the study. 

In the case of ports, operators understand that structural improvements are needed, so that only 18% do not point to logistical bottlenecks in operations. The OLs also highlighted the existence of potential opportunities for improvement in airport infrastructure for cargo transportation. 

Since 2022, the disclosure of the profile at the ILOS Forum is part of the timeline for the release of new data on the sector.It is an excellent opportunity to give even more visibility to the research, offering experts and executives relevant information, which can be used for the strategic planning of companies over the next two years”, Marcella highlights.
