01 Digital Transformation and Policy Support The Digital Transformation and Policy Support focuses on how advanced technologies like AI, IoT, and automation revolutionize supply chain operations. Governments are creating policies that support digital adoption and infrastructure development, driving cost reductions, improving efficiency, and ensuring more streamlined and responsive logistics for spare parts distribution across industries. For instance, The National Logistics Policy, introduced in 2022 by India, is designed to enhance logistics efficiency in various sectors, including spare parts. It will reduce logistics costs from 13-14% of GDP to around 8% by encouraging technology adoption, infrastructure development, and digitization.
02 Automation and Smart Warehousing Solutions Automation and AI have transformed the global spare parts logistics market landscape due to a change in the warehouse and systems for inventory management. These technologies increase speed and operational efficiency, minimize human errors and costs, and are used in advanced warehouses to sort, pick, pack, and trace inventory items using AI and robotic-powered automated systems. These not only accelerate the fulfillment of the order but also reduce manual mistakes, increasing the accuracy with which they are performed. For instance, The Digital Europe Programme is a European Union initiative committed to investing €7.5 billion from 2021 to 2027 for AI and automation in logistics, thereby fueling digital transformation across various sectors, including spare parts management.
June 2026 CMA CGM Group, CEVA Logistics, and Chery Auto signed a memorandum of understanding to strengthen global automotive logistics through integrated multimodal transportation and expanded aftermarket spare parts distribution.
June 2026 DHL Group expanded its New Energy Logistics business by introducing new time-definite logistics services and strengthening battery logistics and energy storage supply chain capabilities to support critical spare parts availability.
May 2025 CEVA Logistics renewed and expanded its long-term partnership with Magneti Marelli Parts & Services in Italy and Poland to optimize warehousing, inventory management, and distribution of automotive spare parts.
