Bharatbook.com is proud to announce the new report Global Distribution & Warehousing (http://www.bharatbook.com/detail.asp?id=74654).

Over the last fifteen years the global warehousing and distribution market has been profoundly affected by macro-economic and political considerations: the Single European Market in Europe; the accession of the Central and Eastern European countries to the EU; the increasing importance of Mexico as a supply base for the USA; not to mention the rise and transformation of the Chinese and Indian economies.

Alongside changes in the geographic distribution of warehousing facilities, the function of distribution centres has also evolved. This has stimulated demand for high quality, purpose built logistics facilities able not only to store goods but also undertake a range of value adding logistics activities, including postponed manufacturing and cross-docking.
