The logistics and transport sector, and its related activities, significantly depend on globalisation, especially the globalisation of production. Assuming that the division of global work and demand of market enlargement will increase globally, the global logistics sector will also benefit from it. Global supply chains and the trade of intermediary products, which are inevitably based on the global division of work, are expected to increase accordingly. Nevertheless, given the above discussed developments, it is mostly presumed that this growth will slow down in the future;
One prerequisite for participating further in the effects of globalisation will be the abolition of trade barriers and constraints to trade and market access (cf. external factors ‘Trade barriers’). These will further incite the division of global work and foster the demand for market enlargement.
