Agility, KGL Logistics and City Group establishing themselves as regional
leaders. Warehousing firms initially gained a foothold by serving US military
personnel in Kuwait, however it is diversifying away from public sector
contracts and increasingly catering to businesses and households.
Government
initiatives are expected to expand Kuwait’s warehousing capacity, presenting
sizeable opportunities for warehousing and warehousing related value-added
services. However, lack of storage areas in ports, difficulty in demand

major challenges in the industry. Advanced sortation systems, Drones, IoT and

warehousing ecosystem.
