Problems And Trends In The Development Of The Logistics Services Market

Table 1: The structure of the logistics services market in the Republic of Bashkortostan, Russia and in the world (Gainutdinova, 2020; Russia is gradually approaching Western standards of logistics service, 2020)

Territorial entity Developed countries (Japan, Germany, Singapore, USA, Canada)) Russian Federation Republic of Bashkortostan
Party Logistics *DU Characteristic DU Characteristic DU Characteristic
1PL/2PL(primitive level) 21% In developed countries, these levels were actively used in 1970-1980 (Logistics types. 5 levels of logistics service, 2020). Today, firms with independent logistics systems make up the smallest market share. 92% The largest number of participants in the logistics services market (cargo owners) independently perform all logistics procedures. 94% The vast majority of companies solve logistical problems and carry out the processes of goods movement exclusively through own services.
3PL/4PL(advanced level) 64% The largest number of market participants transfer logistics functions to specialized operators of the complex service of goods movement. Examples of logistics firms: Schenker, FM Logistic, Geodis, etc. Companies using 4PL: "Sony," "Ford," "Toshiba," etc. 7% The share of companies that use contracted logistics services today remains very small mainly due to the fragmentation of regional logistics systems. Examples of logistics firms 3PL: KIA Center, National Logistics Company, etc. 6% Similar to the situation in the Russian market of logistics services in the studied region, only a small number of companies use the services of 3PL and 4PL providers. This situation is due to a number of factors associated with structural imbalances in the development of the logistics infrastructure of the region.
5PL(innovation level) 15% With the development of information technologies, part of the logistics operations is projected into an electronic-digital format. Logistics services with extensive use of web tools provide a high level of coordination between operators. Examples: "Ebay," "Aliexpress," "Amazon," etc. 1% In modern conditions, the level of 5PL for most Russian firms is not achievable, since in Russia there is no realistic cost accounting system (Karkhova, 2019). To reach this level, it is necessary to develop common institutional norms for interaction between participants in virtual logistics. Examples:Aerograd. 0% At the regional level, the principles of the 5PL system are not actually applied. The constraints in this case are: the lack of institutional mechanisms for managing Internet logistics, the lack of professional skills and skills, the lack of investment, and more.
