Logistics sector development in Chile and Spain

In Chile, the logistics sector is transitioning into a strategic discipline to enhance regional competitiveness. In the Los Lagos region, efforts are focused on improving supply chain traceability for the aquaculture and agriculture industries, with discussions centered on bridging academic training and industry needs. Experts highlight the importance of infrastructure, digitalization, and connectivity, positioning the Biobío region as a strategic partner for international exports.

In Spain, the logistics industry is emphasizing the integration of production and logistics within the packaging sector to manage volatile costs and improve profitability. This has evolved into significant market expansion, particularly in the Valencia and Alicante regions. Driven by e-commerce, companies like Correos Express are seeking new warehouse space in Alicante. Valencia has emerged as a major logistics hub, seeing a surge in leasing activity as it absorbs demand from Madrid and Barcelona due to industrial space shortages in those areas.
