Research Methodology
Step 1: Ecosystem Creation
Map the ecosystem and identify all the demand-side and supply-side entities for the Bangladesh Logistics and Warehousing Market. On the demand side, this includes end-user industries such as FMCG, retail, e-commerce, pharmaceuticals, and manufacturing. On the supply side, it covers 3PL providers, cold chain operators, warehousing companies, transportation fleets (road, rail, air, sea), and courier/delivery service providers.
Sourcing is done through industry articles, government policy documents, trade association reports, and multiple secondary and proprietary databases to perform desk research and build a comprehensive landscape. This helps shortlist leading 5–7 service providers in the country based on warehouse footprint, volume handled, fleet size, and revenue base.
Step 2: Desk Research
An exhaustive desk research process is conducted by referencing diverse secondary and proprietary databases. This includes reviewing industry reports, logistics performance index (LPI) scores, port throughput statistics, freight volumes, warehousing capacity, and modal share data.
Further, we evaluate company-level data from financial statements, investor presentations, public disclosures, news articles, and trade journals. The analysis covers aspects like market segmentation, pricing benchmarks, infrastructure investments, technology adoption, and customer verticals, to build a foundational understanding of the competitive environment.
Step 3: Primary Research
A series of in-depth interviews is initiated with C-level executives, logistics managers, warehousing heads, port authorities, and decision-makers from end-user industries. These interviews serve multiple purposes: validating the market hypotheses, confirming data accuracy, and gathering first-hand insights into growth drivers, operational models, challenges, and opportunities.
As part of our validation strategy, we also conduct disguised interviews with logistics operators and warehouse managers, presenting ourselves as prospective clients. This approach provides access to sensitive but essential data such as pricing, service models, capacity utilization, delivery timelines, and value-added services.
We employ a bottom-up approach to estimate throughput, storage capacity, and revenue per service line, which is aggregated to arrive at the total market size.
Step 4: Sanity Check
Both bottom-up and top-down modeling is undertaken to ensure consistency across market estimates. Cross-validation is performed using triangulation techniques and benchmark ratios (e.g., revenue/ton-km, cost/CBM, warehouse utilization %) to ensure robustness.
- Additionally, results from primary interviews are tested against the desk research findings and market assumptions to complete the sanity check and finalize the projections.
