Logistics and supply chains in emerging markets Emerging Markets hold the key to the development of the global logistics industry over the next twenty years. Whilst developed economies struggle to come to terms with huge levels of debt newly industrialized markets are showing strong growth prospects as manufacturers and investors look at low cost production locations. This in turn has led to urbanization and the development of more affluent middle classes in regions such as Middle East Africa Latin America and Asia Pacific.
