How do logistics companies react to ever shorter delivery times? Do they see automation as a necessity, or do they rather postpone follow-up investments? The answer to all this is provided by the new study Trends in Czech Logistics, which maps the topics that are currently shaping the logistics market in the Czech Republic. The research was carried out by the SKLAD association in cooperation with the Ipsos research agency. 123 logistics managers from retail and wholesale companies, e-commerce, automotive, and manufacturing answered questions related to the current state of the industry. As part of the questionnaire survey and during in-depth interviews, experts shared observations regarding current and planned investments, future strategies, and the impact of the covid-19 pandemic.

Crisis precipitates change. COVID-19 has brought more than five years of evolution in the retail landscape into less than five months of time. Increased demand for high quality and infill logistics real estate is on the rise, stemming from the accelerated adoption of e-commerce and just-in-case inventory. In contrast, challenges have become more pronounced for retail real estate. Collectively, these changes have prompted retail owners to explore the opportunity to convert retail space for distribution uses. Prologis Research sized this trend to measure the potential implications for our industry.
