Upcoming Trade Shows in Sweden for Logistics & Transportation

The logistics and transportation industry has historically been a reliable contributor to Sweden’s economy. Current estimates place the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) to be 3.41% during the period 2024 (USD 42.02 billion) to 2029 (USD 49.69 billion). This robust growth positions Sweden as the largest logistics market in the Scandinavian region. A critical factor contributing to this growth is Sweden's substantial investment in infrastructure, which has enhanced its logistics capabilities. The country's key location in Northern Europe makes it an attractive hub for companies seeking to consolidate their distribution and warehousing activities. Currently, around 10 Swedish locations are utilised by foreign firms for centralised distribution across Northern Europe, highlighting the country’s appeal for international logistics operations. Sweden’s economy heavily relies on exports, which significantly influences the logistics and transportation sectors. The Port of Gothenburg, Sweden's largest port, plays a pivotal role in this landscape. The port commands a 53% share of the Swedish container market, an increase from previous years, indicating its growing dominance in regional shipping and logistics. The rise in market share is further supported by the establishment of new logistics facilities in and around Gothenburg, enhancing its status as a primary logistics hub. The trends in consumer behaviour also impact Sweden’s logistics and transportation sector. Approximately 10% of Swedish consumers have made online purchases from outside the country, with a significant number of these purchases originating from Germany, China, and the United Kingdom. Germany, in particular, has seen a notable surge, with 32% of online purchases coming from abroad, largely driven by the demand for affordable automotive spare parts and accessories. Emerging sectors such as cleantech, information and communications technology (ICT), life sciences, automotive, and materials science are beginning to reshape the logistics landscape in Sweden.
