DUBLIN, Feb 16, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --

Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Global e-commerce Logistics 2017" report to their offering.

The report takes a top-down approach and presents this analysis first from a broad, industry-wide perspective, and then delves further to examine the supply chains of major e-retailers and the logistics providers which support them.

Global e-commerce Logistics 2017, offers readers valuable insight into the development and future prospects of this market.

In addition, as well as bespoke market size and forecasts at a global, regional and country level, this report is offering, for the first time, the data and analysis of e-commerce logistics costs as a % of sales for 20 online retailers.

This report contains:
