“Marked with the booming economy and a thriving foreign trade market, the logistics sector in Kenya experienced high growth in 2018.”
Analysts at Ken Research in their the latest publication “Kenya Logistics and Warehousing Market Outlook to 2023 – By Sea, Land, Pipeline, Air Freight Forwarding; International and Domestic Freight, Integrated and 3PL Freight Forwarding; By Warehousing (Industrial/ Retail, ICD/CFS, Cold Storage, Others), 3PL Warehousing, Type of Warehouses; By Courier Express and Parcel Logistics and E-commerce Logistics” believe that the Logistics the market has grown due to Kenya’s strategic location in the Great Lakes region, government spending on the sector and increasing volumes and value of foreign trade.
Strategic Location: Kenya is the gateway to East Africa and its capital Nairobi is one of the most vibrant international trading hubs in Africa. Mombasa Port is crucial for international trade for not just Kenya but other neighboring landlocked countries such as Uganda. A new Lamu Port is under development along with a LAPSSET Corridor, which is expected to further open up Kenya to international trade. Direct flights to the US have started this year, which is expected to improve trade ties.
Infrastructure Development: Improving infrastructure in the country happens to be a key growth driver for the logistics industry of the county. The government of Kenya has allocated approximately USD 2.5 billion for the transport developmental projects. The willingness of international players to enter the market has made Kenya step up their logistics infrastructure and spending.
Growth in E-Commerce Sector: The presence of e-commerce players such as Jumia, Copia Global, Amazon and introduction of e-payment systems such as M-Pesa has rejuvenated the express delivery services. The services provided by the companies such as guaranteed delivery services, door to door delivery, order tracking and time-definite delivery have further strengthened the growth of the express logistics market in the country.
Dominance of Third-Party Logistics: For companies whose core business is not logistics it is advisable to outsource logistics contracts. It enables them to gain access to resources and capabilities that are not available internally. In Kenya, 40-50% of the cost of goods is due to logistics so outsourcing becomes all the more important as a function.
Technological Advancement: While GPS and Control Towers are standard practices in logistics in developed countries, it is employed by only big domestic players and international companies in Kenya. Supply chain visibility has become an increasing demand of clients and freight forwarders in Kenya are also stepping up to new technologies.
