Chemical Logistics in 2020 Faces More Complex Supply Chains

The Chemical Logistics Vision 2020 Report predicts higher transport volume concentration around chemical clusters and longer, more complex supply chains by the year 2020.

The review published by Cefic's logistics group, together with Deloitte, provides a picture of chemical logistics trends likely to occur in the coming decade and is derived from input received from logistics directors of key industry players combined with sector experience from Deloitte.

Cefic Transport & Logistics Head Jos Verlinden said: "It's clear that efficient, competitive and sustainable logistics are essential for the industry's future. Complex supply chains, capacity constraints and infrastructure congestion will present important challenges."

Main findings from the report:

- A production shift in the chemical industry will affect the complexity of supply chains

- Increasing congestion, more restrictions

- Continued focus on sustainability, safety and security
