Logistics Expansion Beyond the Rio-SP Axis: New Opportunities and Challenges

The Growing Demand for Logistics in Other Regions of Brazil

The logistics market has grown considerably in major capitals like São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. However, other regions of the country have also carved out a space in this sector. Logistics condominiums have been consolidating in states like Minas Gerais, Goiás, Santa Catarina, and Paraná.

The logistics operator Temp Log, with 30 years of experience in the pharmaceutical industry, has expanded its operations beyond São Paulo, addressing increasing demands in the South, Midwest, and Northeast of Brazil.

This expansion is mainly due to the tax benefits that laboratories and importers receive for importing medications and other health products. Temp Log can deliver in up to 3 business days to over 2,300 municipalities, starting from the state of São Paulo, and has broadened its operations to handle deliveries originating from other states, like Paraná.

Possible Changes and Expansions at Temp Log

Given the constant increase in volume, Temp Log is considering establishing advanced points in other states and expanding operations with regional partners. This change would allow for greater control over both collections and routing.

In addition to transport services, some clients are also seeking storage in other regions, primarily due to the lack of licensed companies and the expected quality.

Logistics Challenges in Regions Outside the Rio-SP Axis

Expanding logistics activities to other regions brings challenges, such as matching the quality with the best financial conditions and delivery times. Another challenge is the issue of costs.

Due to the difficulty of the region’s air or road network, companies often need to add an extra segment to the route, increasing costs for all parties involved.

Despite the challenges, Temp Log sees positive prospects and increasingly seeks to engage in new projects as part of its growth plan. Expanding logistics beyond the Rio-SP axis not only offers business opportunities but also contributes to regional development and the reduction of inequalities between different regions of the country.
