Bangladesh Logistics and Warehousing Market Overview and Size

What Factors are Leading to the Growth of Bangladesh Logistics and Warehousing Market

  • Infrastructure Development: Major government investments in Padma Bridge, Dhaka Elevated Expressway, and upgrades at Chattogram and Mongla ports have dramatically improved logistics efficiency and connectivity. These projects reduce travel time and lower operational costs, driving growth in freight and warehousing demand.

  • Boom in E-commerce and Retail: Online retail growth at 25% CAGR has significantly increased demand for last-mile delivery, third-party logistics (3PL), and cold chain infrastructure. Dhaka, Gazipur, and Narayanganj are emerging hotspots for fulfilment centers due to population density and high order volumes.

  • Export-Oriented Manufacturing: With RMG, leather, and pharmaceuticals driving Bangladesh’s exports, logistics providers are building specialized infrastructure for containerized transport and bonded warehousing. In 2023, the logistics sector handled over 80% of garment-related exports with dedicated customs clearance facilities.

Which Industry Challenges Have Impacted the Growth for Bangladesh Logistics and Warehousing Market

  • Infrastructure Bottlenecks: One of the major barriers to growth in Bangladesh’s logistics sector is the inadequate infrastructure, including poor road conditions, congestion at key ports (like Chattogram), and limited railway connectivity. As of 2023, logistics costs in Bangladesh accounted for nearly 15% of GDP—one of the highest in Asia—mainly due to inefficiencies in transport and warehousing.

  • Regulatory Complexity and Bureaucracy: A fragmented regulatory framework and multiple government agencies overseeing logistics operations result in delays, especially in customs clearance and cargo handling. In 2023, the average dwell time at major ports exceeded 4.5 days, significantly above global standards, adding delays and costs to supply chains.

  • Lack of Skilled Workforce and Technology Adoption: The logistics sector struggles with a shortage of trained personnel, particularly in cold chain and warehouse automation. Only about 25% of warehousing operators reported having access to trained staff for handling digital inventory systems or temperature-sensitive goods. This limits operational efficiency and scalability for logistics service providers.

What are the Regulations and Initiatives which have Governed the Market

  • National Logistics Policy 2021 (Draft Stage): The Government of Bangladesh has introduced a draft National Logistics Policy aimed at streamlining regulatory oversight, boosting infrastructure investments, and creating a one-stop service platform for logistics stakeholders. If implemented effectively, this is expected to reduce logistics costs by 4-5% of GDP over the next 5 years.

  • Bonded Warehouse Licensing and SEZ Expansion: The Bangladesh Export Processing Zones Authority (BEPZA) and the Bangladesh Economic Zones Authority (BEZA) have streamlined rules to allow faster approval for bonded warehouse operations in export zones. In 2023, more than 50 new warehouse licenses were issued across the country, encouraging private investment in logistics parks and cold chain facilities.

  • World Bank-Backed Infrastructure Programs: Under the Western Economic Corridor & Regional Enhancement Program (WeCARE), Bangladesh has initiated multi-billion dollar projects aimed at upgrading highways, rural roads, and inland ports. The first phase, focusing on the Dhaka-Khulna corridor, is expected to reduce transit times by 30% once operational by 2026.

Bangladesh Logistics and Warehousing Market Segmentation

  • By Market Structure: The logistics market in Bangladesh is predominantly unorganized, comprising small transporters and local storage providers who dominate due to cost competitiveness, informal business models, and long-standing client relationships. However, the organized sector—comprising national-level 3PL providers, multinational logistics firms, and specialized warehousing companies—is gradually expanding, driven by rising e-commerce demand, global supply chain integration, and infrastructure improvements. Organized players are increasingly focusing on multimodal logistics, automation, and end-to-end service offerings to attract institutional and international clients.

  • By Mode of Transport: Road transport remains the dominant mode in Bangladesh due to limited rail and inland waterway infrastructure. Over 75% of goods movement still occurs via roadways, which are more flexible and accessible across urban and rural regions. However, government initiatives such as the Padma Bridge and the Dhaka-Chattogram Expressway are expected to further streamline road logistics. Rail and waterways are underutilized but gaining attention for bulk cargo movement due to lower costs and sustainable benefits.
