Global Logistics Trends in the Context of Globalisation

Abstract. Introduction. Globalization has significantly transformed global logistics, creating a complex system that includes international supply chains, digital management technologies, and economic and environmental factors. While it has contributed to the rapid improvement of logistics processes, it has also led to new challenges, including unstable transport chains, excessive pressure on infrastructure, technological inequality, environmental issues, and changing consumer trends.

Purpose. The purpose of the article is to identify and describe trends in global logistics in the context of globalisation.

Results. This article describes how globalization has impacted the development of global logistics, particularly its transformation from a traditional method of transporting goods to a complex international supply chain management system. It analyzes the key challenges modern logistics faces in the global economy, including unstable international transport chains, excessive infrastructure strain, uneven technological development, the environmental impact of logistics activities, and changing consumer trends. It describes the main problems affecting the efficiency of global logistics processes. Specifically, it considers the factors that lead to disruptions in logistics routes caused by political, economic, and natural factors. Particular attention is paid to technological development imbalances in different regions of the world, which hinder the global integration of logistics processes. Additionally, the article focuses on the growing need for environmentally friendly solutions because logistics companies significantly impact the environment. The article examines current trends that will determine the future of global logistics. These include the digitization of logistics processes, the active use of artificial intelligence and big data analytics to forecast demand and optimize routes, the development of environmental initiatives to reduce CO₂ emissions, the modernization of transportation infrastructure, the growing importance of e-commerce, and the customization of logistics services according to changes in consumer preferences.

Conclusions. Thus, overcoming modern challenges in logistics effectively is possible by introducing innovative strategies and technologies that minimize costs, improve coordination between market participants, and ensure the stability of global supplies. To achieve competitive advantages, it is concluded that logistics companies must adapt their business models to dynamic market conditions, integrate digital solutions, invest in sustainable infrastructure, and consider environmental aspects to ensure the long-term development of global logistics.

Keywords: trend, logistics, globalisation, international relations, consumer, infrastructure.
