The Industries & Strategies database tracks, since 2016, every industrial investment over USD 30M or 50 jobs (manufacturing, energy, logistics, R&D) announced worldwide. Each project is classified by sector, company, country, even an Industry 4.0 score. Since January 2016, more than 12,000 investments have been tracked, of which 909 are in logistics.

The Industries & Strategies database tracks, since 2016, every industrial investment over USD 30M or 50 jobs
(manufacturing, energy, logistics, R&D) announced worldwide. Each project is classified by sector, company, country, even
an Industry 4.0 score. Since January 2016, more than 12,000 investments have been tracked, of which 909 are in logistics.
Methodology: We collect data throughout 200 000 web sources. Since we are mainly using English, French and Spanish
sources, we are possibly underestimating investment in countries such as China, Japan, Korea, Germany, Russia… In those
countries we probably detect the biggest projects through international English sources, but middle-sized projects are
probably absent from those sources. We are working on improving this process. Also, information about jobs creation is
scarcer than information about amounts invested. In small samples of data, the ratio of jobs created per million invested
may not be reliable for this reason.

Some metrics
Investments in logistics represent 7,4% of the overall number of investments tracked worldwide by Trendeo, for the 2016-
2019 time period, and 3,3% of amounts invested.
The median investment in our database creates 180 jobs, for an amount invested of $ 75 millions and a building surface of
15,794 sqm. In the logistics sector, the median number of jobs is nearly two times higher (300 jobs) and the median amount
invested is equal ($ 75 millions). The median building surface in logistics is almost three times higher (43,100 sqm).1
Median number of jobs created Median amount invested Median building surface
Average numbers tell a different story:
The average number of jobs is 18% lower in logistics, the amount invested by project is 46% lower and the surface in square
meters is only 41% higher. This is due to the fact that logistics projects are more homogeneous in size than other investments.
Standard deviation between logistics projects is between 2 and 3 times lower than overall standard deviation, be it for jobs,
amounts invested and surfaces.
Some more details are included in this note, but our subscribers and customers will find complete information on those
operations in the Industries & Strategies database.

Sectors
Sorted by sectors, the results show the difference between logistics and transportation companies (“warehousing and support
activities”, with companies such as Adani, AP Moeller Maersk, FM Logistics…) and retailers or producers (food, beverage,
with companies such as Amazon, Nestlé…) that deploy their own logistics capacities.
Other types of investments
There are 12 396 capital investments in the Industries & Strategies database (as of April 2019). Logistics is the third type of
investments, after manufacturing and power generation, and before R&D. Users of our database can sort through all these
data freely, export information, obtain charts and maps...

The latest investments in logistics entered in the database.
We score each project, from 1 to 12, on six criteria reflecting Industry 4.0 trends. Those criteria are: production flexibility (ability
to switch from one product to another), energy efficiency, digitalisation level, environmental measures (concerning natural
environment), territorial measures (applying to local communities) and social efforts (concerning workers). Each criterion is rated
0 (absent), 1 (mentioned) or 2 (detailed measures). A specific text field sums up the reasons for our score.
