GKI Digital: the logistics sector is struggling with labor shortages

Logistics sector in Hungary faces labor shortages, the lack of couriers makes it difficult to deliver online orders – GKI Digital’s industrial report was sent to MTI on Wednesday.

GKI Digital asked 1400 companies, including 10 courier companies.

The research institute points out that online shopping is becoming increasingly popular in Hungary, and in 2017, an average online customer purchased 11 times through a webshop. The 18 percent increase in the sector far exceeds the growth rate of traditional retail trade, which is reflected in the increase in the number of packages. (MTI)
