Market Growth 2025-2030: Connected Logistics in the Digital Era

The global connected logistics market size is expected to reach USD 86.57 billion in 2030 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 14.9% from 2025 to 2030. The term ‘connected logistics’ refers to a collection of tools, and platforms, including hardware and software, that enable real-time tracking of commodities sent by land, rail, air, and sea routes.

To facilitate shipment, it communicates logistical and pertinent data such as tracking and traceability with every participant in the supply chain, such as manufacturers, suppliers, and customers, among others. By integrating several linked platforms, these solutions aid businesses in enhancing information flow during shipment and delivery using RFID chips. Connected logistics provides improved warehouse management using technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), blockchain, virtual reality, and big data, among others.

Connected logistics has enhanced the efficiency of last-mile delivery with the aid of communication devices and tracking devices. Connected logistics aid in the efficient management of supply chain security, freight traffic, and routing of the fleet by minimizing the cost of the transport. Additionally, technologies such as vibration monitoring and global positing system (GPS) aid in performance optimization and provide position tracking for each fleet vehicle. Connected logistics have significantly improved risk resilience planning.

Thus, increased demand for improved warehouse management and rising demand for efficient supply chain management among others are the factors fueling the growth of the target market. The demand for intelligent transportation solutions is anticipated to rise significantly overall, as well as in the logistics sector. It is expected that logistics 4.0 and ongoing work on autonomous logistics trucks will present lucrative opportunities for the target market's expansion.

Logistics 4.0 uses analytics, data, the internet of things, and automated decision-making solutions to improve operational efficiency and performance. For instance, in April 2022, Daimler trucks, with its independent auxiliary Torc Robotics, started testing their autonomous trucks, which operate on four levels of autonomous driving in the U.S. Additionally, autonomous trucks are increasingly gaining traction across the logistics industry owing to rising shortage of drivers, increased safety and improved efficiency.

The increasing implementation of logistics 4.0 and ongoing efforts to develop autonomous logistics vehicles are predicted to give profitable opportunities for the target market's growth over the forecast period. Additionally, the necessity to reduce the cost of shipping and storage services is propelling the demand for connected logistics products and solutions. The need for intelligent transportation solutions is anticipated to rise significantly. The declining cost of loT sensors and connected logistics hardware is one of the driving factors of the target market growth.

The COVID-19 pandemic led to disruptions in the global supply chains. In addition, the state and federal governments announced the lockdowns and border closures, which halted the shipment of the goods. However, the pandemic accelerated the adoption of technologies such as the internet of things (IoT), automation, and robotics, among others, in the logistics sector.

For instance, according to a report by Inmarsat, a leader in mobile satellite communications, “Owing to the pandemic, 90% of the transportation and logistics firms have adopted or are planning to adopt the deployment of Internet of Things (IoT) projects. Additionally, there has been a shift from electronic data to app-based program interfaces with cloud integration, enabling logistics companies to connect with e-commerce platforms.

Connected Logistics Market Report Highlights

The hardware segment dominated the market in 2024. The sensors are the largest sub-segment of hardware components in terms of revenue owing to the increasing demand for asset tracking

The services segment is anticipated to expand at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period. The high rate of outsourcing business functions contributes to the increasing demand for managed services

Coca-Cola is now on the official BDS boycott list!

From the website:

November 2024

1) Why?

Because Coca-Cola is implicated in Israeli war crimes.

According to research by WhoProfits, the Central Beverage Company, known as Coca-Cola Israel, which is the exclusive franchisee of the Coca-Cola Company in Israel, “operates a regional distribution center and cooling houses in the [Israeli] Atarot Settlement Industrial Zone.” Furthermore, its subsidiary, Tabor Winery, “produces wines from grapes sourced from vineyards located on occupied land in settlements in the West Bank and Syrian Golan.” 

The International Court of Justice affirmed in July 2024 that Israel’s entire occupation of Gaza and the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, is illegal, as are all Israeli settlements built on occupied land. As Israeli settlements – on occupied Palestinian and Syrian land – are considered war crimes under international law, Coke is complicit in a war crime. 

Corporations that are implicated in the commission of international crimes connected to Israel’s unlawful occupation, racial segregation and apartheid regime - within or beyond the Palestinian territories occupied in 1967 - are all complicit and must be held accountable. Direct complicity includes military, logistical, intelligence, financial and infrastructure support. The corporations, as well as their boards of directors and executives, may face criminal liability for this complicity.

Local alternatives are popping up worldwide to substitute Coca-Cola, an unnecessary and replaceable beverage

Local alternatives to Coca-Cola have been gaining market share across the world, including in Palestine, China, Bangladesh, Sweden, Egypt, India, South Africa, Turkey, Lebanon and elsewhere.

2) Why NOW?

The BDS movement has always considered Coca-Cola boycottable but has not prioritized it as a target based on its careful and strategic target-selection criteria, so why endorse the Coke boycott now? 

Human rights and health activists, among many others, have been campaigning against Coca-Cola and similarly complicit corporations for decades, including grassroots drives targeting the company for its complicity in Israel’s gross violations of Palestinian human rights. 

During Israel’s ongoing, livestreamed genocide, Israeli soldiers have often been pictured with Coke cans, donated to them by various genocide-enabling groups. This has provoked even more anger against the company, particularly given that Israel is starving 2.3 million Palestinians in the occupied and besieged Gaza Strip, severely limiting their access to clean water and, as a result, inducing the mass spread of contagious diseases. 

Given this context, Palestinian activists in Gaza and many BDS activists in the Arab world, in many Muslim-majority countries, and in some European countries as well, have called on the BDS movement to add Coke to its priority targets.

The BDS movement had previously targeted General Mills for its manufacturing of Pillsbury products in the illegal Atarot Settlement Industrial Zone - the same Zone where the Coke facility operates. Thanks to effective BDS campaigning, we won the demand for General Mills to end its business in Atarot. We know a campaign against Coke is winnable too. 

Based on all the above, and given Coke’s large contribution (through business-as-usual and taxes) to Israel’s war chest during the genocide, the Palestinian BDS National Committee (BNC), the largest Palestinian coalition leading the global BDS movement, has endorsed the grassroots, organic #BoycottCoke campaigns to pressure the company to end its complicity in Israel’s illegal occupation, apartheid and genocide.

🔻NEW OFFICIAL BOYCOTT TARGET🔻

Palestinian BDS National Committee:

Coca-Cola: Quenching “Israel’s” genocidal soldiers’ thirst

1) Why?

Because Coca-Cola is implicated in “Israeli” war crimes.

According to research by WhoProfits (https://www.whoprofits.org/companies/company/4081?the-central-bottling-company-cbc-coca-cola-israel), (https://www.whoprofits.org/companies/company/4081?the-central-bottling-company-cbc-coca-cola-israel) the Central Beverage Company, known as Coca-Cola “Israel”, which is the exclusive franchisee of the Coca-Cola Company in “Israel”, “operates a regional distribution center and cooling houses in the [Israeli] Atarot Settlement Industrial Zone.” Furthermore, its subsidiary, Tabor Winery, “produces wines from grapes sourced from vineyards located on occupied land in settlements in the West Bank and Syrian Golan.”

Local alternatives are popping up worldwide to substitute Coca-Cola, an unnecessary and replaceable beverage.

Local alternatives to Coca-Cola have been gaining market share across the world, including in Palestine, China, Bangladesh, Sweden, Egypt, India, South Africa, Turkey, Lebanon and elsewhere.

2) Why NOW?

The BDS movement has always considered Coca-Cola boycottable but has not prioritized it as a target based on its careful and strategic target-selection criteria (https://www.instagram.com/bdsnationalcommittee/p/C7RY0Y4C-xu/), (https://www.instagram.com/bdsnationalcommittee/p/C7RY0Y4C-xu/) so why endorse the Coke boycott now?

in a socialist state, what makes a capitalist a capitalist? if the state owns the means of production then how can capitalists who also own the means of production exist? sorry, i'm just a little confused on the logistics of this. do they both own it somehow?

well the proletarian state is not necessarily immediately capable of bringing all economic activity and resources under its control. wealth may be hoarded, it may be taken abroad. private economic activity may continue, even in an irregular fashion.

the petit-bourgeoisie, particularly in the agrarian sector, tends to continue to exist for some time under socialism and takes time to proletarianize. attempting a rapid forceful expropriation and proletarianization of these people may cause more harm than good by prematurely intensifying antagonisms that could be worked out through other means. particularly problematic if you are a country like the USSR or China built on the revolutionary alliance of proletariat and peasantry - the peasantry in question takes this role of agrarian petit-bourgeoisie, though they can be gradually proletarianized and their property brought under collective and state control

the bourgeoisie that has been expropriated may continue to struggle to restore capitalism, and due to the interconnected nature of the world capitalist system they have access to resources and connections abroad to help with that. i suppose this is not the main point of your question, but also to some degree some proletarians without a properly developed class consciousness can also join their side, particularly if they expect to personally benefit from it in some way. while the economic base is the principal aspect of the base-superstructure dialectic, the superstructure still exerts some degree of influence and has some inertia that can't just be ignored (and neither can foreign influence - the bourgeoisie of countries like the USA spend a lot of effort and resources in trying to foment counter-revolution in socialist countries)

in underdeveloped countries, the proletarian state may deliberately allow for the bourgeoisie to engage in a form of state-capitalism under the control of the proletarian state in order to develop the productive forces. this was the principle behind Lenin's New Economic Policy, and also the Socialist Market Economy of China

does this make sense? I'm not very good at explaining stuff

[jacksgreysays]

Hiiii how about a prompt for Further Down Road One, political marriage!Shikasuke, maybe something from an Uchiha's POV on the Shikabane-hime's meteoric rise in power, international acclaim, and political capital? And how it ripples out onto the clan as a whole?

I mean, the point of Road One is that the arranged marriage itself already does SO MUCH to change the trajectory of the Uchiha clan’s fate for the better that, basically, everything else after that is kind of a bonus. The fact that Shikako’s smart and powerful and a good person is NICE, yes, but just being engaged to Sasuke already earned so much approval from the clan as a whole that it’s just kinda… ehhhh…

Although… and this somewhat of a tangent to the prompt… it would be funny if… okay, let me set this up by saying: I don’t necessarily like Itachi as a character. When he was kind of a psychopath and apparently just murdered his entire family to test his power, that was at least a… strength of will or conviction that kind of resonated thematically. Like, what if Will of Fire goes bad kind of thing. Or the pressures of being clan heir, of being pushed too hard and too fast, would lead to a genius of violence snapping and using said violence. Then when it turns out he was given orders to murder his entire family and his one condition was that Sasuke would get to live is like… what the fuck dude. It’s both backtracking to make Itachi weaker as a character and also, somehow, even more of a psychopath in my opinion. And, like, sure, Danzo maybe used Shisui’s Sharingan to unbreakable genjutsu him into it, but I don’t think that really absolves Itachi.

All that being said, theoretically in this kinder world of Road One, we never get to that point. Additionally, there’s less pressure on Itachi to continue to excel SO OVERTLY since the clan isn’t getting isolated and also because Shisui is still there and alive to share the burden.

BUT, I do still… the idea that the Uchiha elders have been wanting one of the clan to become Hokage is something that I hold to be true unless proven otherwise. I do think the clan elders would push more for Itachi to be Hokage—because he is clan heir and so has the pedigree, while Shisui (just as powerful, literally Flee On Sight in the bingo books at such a young age) I think we’ve fandom agreed is an orphan or at least a lesser branch of the Uchiha clan.

Anyway, all of the above leads me to: Shisui and Itachi trying to PR campaign for their sister-in-law Shikako (who WILL be an Uchiha once the marriage actually) to be the new “best candidate” for an Uchiha Hokage. Like, really just them listing off all of her accomplishments to not only the Uchiha elders but the rest of the clan (who, again, already quite like her).

I also think, in this universe, that Shikako would DO SOMETHING about Sora-ku once she feels a little more comfortable making decisions—or, at least, making proposals with attached logistics—for the Uchiha clan. Like. It’s a huge chunk of territory that seems to be an abandoned city. But it’s apparently functional enough to have a community of sorts of black marketeers and a support system. Like, it’s not so out of the way of things that nobody bothers with it, which implies that it could be rejuvenated with the time and resources. I think I read a theory once that it’s because Senju used their skills to desertify the area so there just wasn’t enough food to support a city of that size. BUT, now they’ve got Shikako. And Shikako’s connections. Whether that is the ANY clan alliance or Tenzo/Yamato or upper echelons of Hidden Mist’s administration (Haku is an ice user, yes, but like he and Zabuza wouldn’t throw a squad of Mist nin with water nature to help with irrigation at Shikako’s request for free) or even the literal oasis creating ancient god Gelel.

So, you know, she’s more than proven herself to the world. And with the Sora-ku rejuvenation, already brought a level of prosperity to the Uchiha clan than they could ever imagine. “Shikako for Hokage” is not a hard sell for Shisui and Itachi whatsoever (and also, they do think Sasuke would be so happy as her First Gentleman/trophy husband)

Yeah, that’s kind of all I can think of for this prompt in terms of it being different than how the Nara clan or DoS canon clans for that matter would view her meteoric rise. Hope you enjoyed, anon.

hiya ! i found this one art heist au fic a while back and i cant seem to find it. what i remember is that crowley worked with the them and warlock in nicking artifacts from different places and then aziraphale was the one who checks the validity of the artifacts? it was pretty long and i dont remember what word count specifically but i think it hit the 100ks. im hopnig you guys know which fic im referring to. thank you!

I'm sure we've had several asks about this fic. Simply searching "art heist" on AO3 brings up only a handful of fics to whittle it down from. It's...

stalwart sun, wily moon by dustnhalos (M)

Anthony J. Crowley is a world-class art thief with a complicated past who, until now, had been pretty content with going through life as part of a prolific black market art trafficking ring. He enjoyed the thrill and danger of the hunt, especially if it meant he got to travel the world, play with state-of-the-art technology, and make enough money to afford anything he could ever want. That is, until a simple logistical hiccup leads him straight into the path of one Aziraphale Fell, former Head Conservator of the British Museum turned antique repair shop owner. Suddenly, there's a space in Crowley's life that only Aziraphale seems to fill, but his clandestine life of crime paired with Aziraphale's industry connections and indomitable penchant for good seems like a relationship doomed to fail. Little do they both know, the strands of friendship, morality, and deception in their shared circles of the London art world are interwoven in even more complex ways than either of them could have expected...

I think now is a great time for you two to listen to Mitski.

🎄

Sounds fun, I just got finished up with something important so it sounds like a nice time to unwind with some music.

….actually you know what screw it, I’m just going to brain dump what I did today before I go listen to them with Suitcase.

So I shot him specifically through the wires connecting to his battery so I didn’t actually break the body.

I basically repaired the body the best I could and (as uncomfortable as I currently am with it) transferred myself into it for two reasons.

Firstly someone needs to be in the body to be able to actually utilise Melife (Sis pointed this out) and I figured since I actually know how the body fully works I should be the one to take it for logistical reasons.

Secondly Media is starting to catch onto the things that have happened in here over the past few days and if this goes wrong it’s going to be an utter nightmare to deal with.

We cannot handle a media scandal right now, my sis as a marketer sounded like she was recounting story’s from a war when she talked about her experience with news stations.

But then I had an idea, I came up with a story that newspapers will absolutely love.

It has the kind of headline that any news institute would kill to have and they’d love the contents even more, it’s so good that they won’t even want to dig deeper into the case.

If we can pull it off it should buy us enough time to actually make this company you know…..not an evil cesspit of capitalism, torture, pain and suffering anymore.

So yea I bit the bullet and now I’m in Mephone 4’s body, it’s really uncomfortable to be in this thing but it’s worth it for the long run.

[pubbamoon]

Heyy, how you doing? I've been through checking everything of my chart but I still don't connect the things neither numbers. I would be very grateful if you explain to me 🙇

If it does matter, I'm studying international market + logistics and transport so next I find a stable and decent job. I do streams because I enjoy talking and playing with my people (even though I'm not that big) and I'm thinking of going back to making videos (because I really enjoy editing em, just happens that my pc is kinda fucked up and I got no time since I'm independent). I'm thinking of making stuff for people, not only videos and streams but also, like, movies or comics/graphic novels and I want em to be inspiring, meaningful and very impacting

Also I've been struggling finding a job at this moment and I'm not sure if I will ever be financially stable and be happy with my life, my social cicles and even my family. Even I'm fucked up mentally since years ago, still psychologically kinda alright. You know, I'm going forward to my goals of finding a stable nd pretty decent job, be successful as a streamer and youtuber (even if I'm not that big), meet all kind of people and make meaningful and stable relationships with the right people for me, making projects that will help people on large extent, have my own business and my own house that I can be safe and peaceful in, have a girlfriend or even wife that I could trust with my own life, making really good foods and be fully okay with myself. Some of this may seems way too unrealistic, and I get it. It's understandably hard, haha. And I really mean to get there even if it takes its time

I don't want to worry about if I will ever get really old because I won't get anything from it, so I'm trying to enjoy my day to day and try to get to chat with people, having good times and trying to get ahold with myself

Long ass text ahh, my bad, hope that made you clear things to explain at least

Hi sweetie! Yeah, it's such a long text, I didn't expect that. I'm going to read your Destiny Matrix chart based on the story you wrote here.

You have number 3 at the center of your chart, making this number the most important one in your chart. In numerology, number 3 is connected to Jupiter, the planet of luck, abundance and things in life that works in our favor. I usually see people who have prominent number 3 in their chart entertaining other people, which might make sense why you stream with other people and make fun with them. In Major Arcana, the 3rd card is The Empress, making this card a prominent theme in your life, since it's placed at the center of your Destiny Matrix chart. The Empress card is shown by a woman who's sitting on her throne, enjoying her life. This card represents abundance, creativity, fertility and giving birth to new idea, which makes sense since it's connected with the planet Venus which is related to art. I think this placement explains why you want to pursue the fields you are passionate about, like editing videos and why you want to be into movies or some novels.

Interestingly enough, you do have a prominent number 7 (The Chariot) in your chart, being placed in Sacral, Throat, Crown chakra and is also placed twice is both of your love and money line. In The Chariot card, there's man standing in the carriage, representing strong will, ambition, movement and quickness. It can also be connected to the transport and even to business. So, it makes sense why you are studying international market, logistic and transport and there's a potential for you to succeed in some of these fields. The Chariot (7) in your Sacral chakra shows a sense of ambition and strong will when it comes to your creative pursuits, but it might also indicate the lack of movement or lack of direction related to career and finances. Having The Chariot (7) next to your heart icon might indicate that your partner can help you maintain a sense of movement and direction into your life. The Chariot (7) in your Throat chakra means that you might communicate in a direct way, you may not hide the truth with this placement. The Chariot (7) in your Crown chakra signifies that you might naturally be ambitious and strong willed person.

Temperance (14) is placed next to your dollar sign and is the part of your money line. This placement may indicate a balanced approach to career, but since this card represents modesty, it might indicate steady growth. Patience is needed with this placement. This placement can also explain why are you trying to make something meaningful, impactful and influential, since Temperance card is about purpose and having an ability to influence others.

It's interesting to me how you have the 4-11-7 code appearing twice in your chart, on the left side (signifying something positive about your life) and on the right side (signifying something negative about your life). The Emperor (4) shows how independent you are in almost everything you do, but it can also signify being too bossy and not relying to others at all. I think here should be a little bit of flexibility here. Strength (11) can represents knowing your worth and having a courage to take some risks, but in you case, it shows that you don't trust yourself and struggle to believe in others. You might also have fear of other people's opinions, which may hold you back. The Chariot (7) explains your ambition and strong will to do everything it takes to succeed, but it can also shows that you lack direction and you likely don't know which step you should take.

Your karmic tail (18-6-15) is called Dark Mage, combining number 18 (The Moon), number 6 (The Lovers) and number 15 (The Devil). It could explain you fears (18 - The Moon) of taking the wrong and unrealistic decisions ( 16 - The Lovers). The Devil (15) here tells me that you might grew up in a toxic environment which has made you mentally unstable. The Sun (19) is significant for you Root chakra, since you have number 4 and number 15 in your Root chakra, representing your survival mode, childhood, ancestors etc. The Sun card usually represents positivity and being optimistic, but in Root chakra, it could indicate feeling depressed, not being happy or even growing up too fast.

The Star (17) being placed on the upper side of your chart means that there's still hope for you to live fulfilled life. This card is related to creativity and hope and having this card on the upper side of your chart may indicate being naturally creative. Wheel of Fortune (10) in your Heart chakra signifies that your emotional fulfillment may depend of external factors of your life. Sometimes you'll feel happy and sometimes you'll feel sad, because Wheel of Fortune card is all about adaptivity, unpredictability and cycles. Death (13) in your Heart chakra signifies that changes in life may feel you happy or emotional fulfilled. I think you should really accept the unpredictability in your life and letting go of things that no longer serve you, since Death card is about pulling down the old structures and ending cycles, because it no longer works.

I hope you can resonate with this reading and that I gave you the answers you were looking for. Sorry for later response, I have been all over the place for a while. I wish you had a great weekend ahead!

Best regards, Paky McGee
