Abstract

The article investigates the current state of development of the logistics services market in Ukraine. It is noted that the demand for qualified logistics services is growing, that, in turn, stimulates the development of the logistics market in Ukraine. It is determined that in 2018, according to the Logistics Performance Index, Ukraine ranks 66th among 160 countries in terms of the efficiency of the logistics system. The value of the national Logistics Performance Index tends to increase. It was 2.83 points in 2018, compared to 2.74 in 2016. The dynamics of freight traffic volumes in Ukraine in 2014-2018 is analyzed. A list of companies that providing logistics services in Ukraine has been formed. It was found that the main participants of the Ukrainian market that offer logistics services under the 3PL scheme are international companies, in particular, «KUEHNE & NAGEL», «Raben», «SCHENKER», «FM Logistic», «DHL», «Åkol logistics» and others with significant financial capabilities and long-standing relationships with transnational clients. Instead, most Ukrainian companies use 1PL and 2PL schemes when organizing logistics. A more advanced way of organizing logistics (3PL, 4PL) is used by a small number of Ukrainian enterprises, including «ZAMMLER», «UVK», «LOGISTIC-PLUS», «PAKLINE GROUP», «Denka Logistics», «Diad Logistic». The modern tendencies of development of the logistic services market are investigated.Among them: intensification of competition, falling of demand, reduction of transportation tariffs, falling profitability of carriers, shortage of middle and high class logistics complexes, insufficient speed of flow, insignificant level of integration of information and computing systems, low level of coordination of counterparties. Prospects for market development are identified. In particular: active development of operators offering logistics services under the 3PL and 4PL schemes, maintaining trends in mergers and acquisitions in the segments of the logistics services market. The main driving forces of the Ukrainian logistics market, which are able to increase its efficiency, are noted.
