NEW research from Logistics
Trends & Insights and American Global Logistics (AGL) indicates
that US
companies will spend more than US$2.5 billion in disruptive logistics and
supply chain technologies by 2022.
"Technologies like artificial
intelligence, connected devices, sensors, cloud computing, cybersecurity and
distributed systems are transforming the technology landscape," said AGL
chairman and CEO Jon Slangerup, former CEO of the Port of Long Beach.
"The next wave of supply chain
innovation will focus on weaving these technologies together to make global
supply chains more efficient, more resilient, more transparent, and less
costly," he said.
Overall supply chain and logistics technology spending
will rise to $87.8 billion. The
report, "Supply Chain Technology Investment Outlook" explores
the rapid growth in supply chain IT investment and which technologies are
likely to take the lead in the next five years.
As supply chain start-ups continue
to develop innovative tools to serve customers, that innovation is fuelled by
the venture capital that continues to pour into the sector. he said. Between
2012 and 2017, supply chain and logistics technology firms received more than
$8.4 billion in investments and the average total venture capital investment
was about $17 million.
