These developments have added complexity to the logistics landscape, requiring logistics companies to navigate new trade barriers and regulatory requirements. Customs clearance processes have also become more stringent, leading to delays and potential disruptions in the movement of goods between the UK and the EU. Logistics providers have had to invest in compliance expertise and technology to ensure smooth cross-border operations, thus propelling the growth of the logistics market in the UK.

• Sustainability and Green Logistics:
