South Africa Freight and Logistics Market Trends
South African e-commerce fuels surge in quality warehousing demand, with USD 46 million revenue forecasted by 2025
- The South African transportation and logistics sector showed signs of recovery in 2021, with a 12% YoY growth in its contribution to GDP, driven by factors like the AFCFTA (African Continental Free Trade Agreement), increased demand in the cold chain market, the rise of e-commerce, and expanded transportation and logistics services. In the fourth quarter of 2022, the industry experienced a modest 0.7% growth, contributing 0.1% to the overall economic performance. This growth was particularly noticeable in land transport, air transport, and communication services.
- The demand for quality warehousing in Africa skyrocketed due to the rapid proliferation and growth of e-commerce platforms across the continent. This increase in online retail sales is expected to continue, with e-commerce revenue nearly doubling to reach USD 46 million by 2025. The country's supply is expected to increase as developers such as Africa Logistics Properties and Improvon plan to deliver over 400,000 sq. m of speculative space to the market by the end of 2024.
- In South Africa, road transport dominates freight transportation, representing about 63% of all freight ton-kilometers. The government focuses on the National Development Plan (NDP), which aims to achieve a 30% investment-to-GDP ratio. Meeting the infrastructure needs outlined in the NDP is projected to cost over ZAR 6 trillion (USD 0.35 trillion) from 2016 to 2040, with energy and transportation accounting for 72% of this expenditure. The government has introduced the National Infrastructure Plan 2050 to address these challenges, prioritizing key areas such as energy, freight transport, water, and digital infrastructure.
