Uganda Logistics Market
Overview and Size
Uganda
Logistics Market has not seen a steady growth over the past few years, mainly
due to the lack of infrastructural developments. The market is highly
concentrated with international players. Uganda was ranked at 66th position in
the LPI index of World Bank in 2010. In the year 2016, its rank improved to
58th however by 2018, the country’s LPI rank fell to 102. Between the years
2013-14 and 2017-18, the market has not performed well resulting in a negative
single digit CAGR. The major end user of the logistics market in the country
includes the food and beverages and the consumer retail industry.
Market Segmentation
By Road, Rail, Air
and Sea Freight
Being
a landlocked country, the sea freight comes to Kenya or Tanzania and then is
transported to Uganda by road. Road fright has the maximum revenue percentage
share in freight forwarding however it has experienced a negative CAGR. Road
freight is majorly used for international services as the cargo needs to be
brought into the land locked country. Railways despite being the cheapest mode
of transportation, costing half of road transportation, aren’t widely used due
to its poor connectivity.
By Domestic and International Freight
International Freight holds a higher percentage revenue share than
domestic freight. The country has a number of FTAs allowing it to grow with
international trade. Majority of the cargo which is brought
into the country comes into the capital Kampala and then the cargo gets
distributed to various cities within the county.
The Mombasa-Kampala highway is used the
most for transportation. In the year 2017-18, it accounted for majority share
of the revenue in the Uganda freight forwarding market. The major modes of transport that is used for domestic
By Flow Corridors
The Asian region consisting of China, India, Japan,
Indonesia and other countries has the maximum revenue share in 2017/18. The other flow corridors include Common
Market for Eastern and Southern Africa region, Middle East, North America,
European regions and others. Coffee is
exported the most accounting for 22% of the total value exporter in 2017. Other
products include mineral ores, plastics, pharmaceutical products and vegetable
oils. Uganda is a part of the East African Community enabling them to have trade
with the rest of the world.
By End Users
The
main end users for the freight forwarding market include Food, Beverage and
Consumer Retail, Automotive Industry, Healthcare and others. Its major demand
comes from products such as Coffee, Spices, Tea, Sugar, and Fish among others.
Healthcare Logistics is still a growing industry and companies are increasing
their distribution points all across Africa in order to promote this further.
The government had contributed only 30% of the total expenditure in 2016
towards the healthcare sector. It has plans to increase investment in the
healthcare sector in the future.
By Contract Logistics and Integrated Logistics
The
logistics market of Uganda is concentrated among few international major
players. Despite their operating size and reach, they often outsource certain
orders to fulfill the demand. The smaller companies do not have the capacity to
fulfill their orders and indulge in third party logistics. Strong
relationship between shippers and 3PL providers, and the significance of
emerging technologies, including block chain and automation have allowed the
third party logistics market to flourish in the country.
Competitive Landscape
The
competition within the Freight Forwarding Market of Uganda is highly concentrated amongst
international players. The domestic players have a relatively lesser share in
the overall market. Some of the major players include Bollore Transport and
Logistics Uganda, Spedag Interfreight Uganda and Kenfreight Uganda Limited.
Future Outlook and Projections
The overall freight forwarding market is expected to
see a positive single digit CAGR between 2018-19 and 2022-23. The railways are anticipated to be used more
as its connectivity will improve. The new airport at Hoima will help improve the
status of air freight and will also bring down the freight cost. New
technologies such as Asycuda World, GPD tracking have been adopted which keep a
track of the cargo transported thereby preventing the loss and allowing timely
delivery of all the cargo.
