They are also highly advanced at dealing with the logistics
service providers and this had led the market for automotive
logistics services in
Europe to become highly competitive.
The vehicle and component manufacturers are generally well
informed and pursue aggressive purchasing strategies which
drive down margins and reinforce fragmentation. A large
amount of power rests firmly with a few major automotive
companies, and this combined with the falling volumes in the

existing logistics providers from entering through
acquisition or the companies already present in the market
from increasing their exposure. The large size of the market
