Logistics market trends in 2025

2025 January, 14

In 2025, changes in logistics and regulations are guiding businesses into a new reality. With stricter environmental requirements, shifting geopolitical dynamics, and new legislation coming into effect, supply chains will become more complex, and efficiency will be even more critical. Here are the main insights to help your business stay competitive:

 

1. Eco-friendly solutions – the new standard
Shipowners are upgrading their fleets to meet stricter environmental regulations. Customers may opt for more sustainable solutions, but limited market capacity may lead to higher shipping costs. We recommend partnering with companies already investing in cleaner technologies.

2. Supply and demand imbalance
The insufficient supply of new vessels is driving up freight costs and may cause delays. Consider alternatives such as modernized or repurposed vessels to ensure the continuity of your operations.

3. Geopolitical risks
Regional tensions are altering logistics routes and pricing structures. Collaborate with partners who can quickly adapt to changes and offer flexible solutions.

4. Regulatory changes in Lithuania
Labor Law: Stricter overtime requirements and new notification deadlines.
Taxes: Changes in corporate income tax and excise rates.
Environment: New bans on single-use plastics and increased environmental taxes.

 

We are working with Lawcorpus law firm to better understand these changes and ensure compliance. Their guidance – from risk management to contract reviews – enables us to successfully adapt to the new requirements.

 

5. Digitalization – the path to efficiency
Investments in AI tools and other digital solutions are helping businesses precisely manage supply chains and make faster decisions. Modern technologies bring not only speed but also reduced operational costs.
