Company Report

Halcyon Days Are Coming to an End, but DSV Is Well Positioned in 3PL Segment

Following its acquisition of GIL in 2021, DSV became the third-largest third-party logistics provider, or 3PL, globally, with around a 5% share in a highly fragmented market. Unlike peer Kuehne+Nagel, which has been in the industry for more than 125 years, DSV has accumulated its market share primarily through a series of strategic acquisitions over the past 30 years, which it has successfully integrated into its own operations.

Company Profile

DSV is a Danish-listed transport and logistics company, offering transport services worldwide by road, air, sea, and train, with the bulk of its activities coming from its European trucking network and airfreight and sea freight forwarding businesses. Since its founding in 1976, the company has grown rapidly, mainly via acquisitions. The company has been active in the mergers and acquisitions segment, most recently acquiring peer GIL in 2021. This acquisition further diversifies its revenue base away from European road freight and adds scale in key regions such as the Middle East. It also moves DSV into third spot among the largest 3PL firms globally.
