UK e-Fulfilment Market Report: Profiles of Key Players and Competitive Benchmarking Analysis
DUBLIN, April 28, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- The "UK e-fulfilment: Market Insight Report 2019" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
This market research report covers the provision of fulfilment services to UK internet retailers.
- It includes both pure play on-line and multi-channel / store-based retailers.
- It also includes both outsourced fulfilment and fulfilment activities carried out by the retailer
It does not include fulfilment of purely digital products such as software, travel tickets or music and video via electronic downloads. It also excludes grocery, for which there are distinct supply chains operated in-house by the major chains and on-line specialist, Ocado.

The report quantifies e-fulfilment market size and historical growth rates while reviewing key factors behind these figures.
The report includes an in-depth analysis of the relevant drivers of industry growth - including the macroeconomic environment, internet retail sales, basket sizes, returns rates, the level of cross-border shopping and logistics supplier innovation.
