This phenomenon amplifies the urgent need for modern logistics infrastructure, as retailers and e-commerce operators expand their distribution networks to meet consumer demand and optimize delivery times, notes an analysis conducted by Cushman & Wakefield Echinox based on the “Quo Vadis E-commerce” report.
