Benjamin Gordon, Cambridge Capital CEO, predicts logistics technology investment in Freightwaves

Gordon predicts logistics investment to double in new decade

/in , /by

Benjamin Gordon, CEO of Cambridge Capital in Palm Beach, forecasts Supply Chains, last mile logistics, Jeff Bezos, and Amazon with Freightwaves. BGSA CEO Ben Gordon on investment outlook in technology, logistics, and supply chain: “Cambridge Capital predicts $60 billion invested in logistics this decade!”

Benjamin Gordon, who invests in logistics and technology companies, expects record amounts of capital to flow throughout the decade into transport and logistics, a segment he said remains “ripe for disruption.”

The 2010s may have been about innovation, but the 2020s will be about scale, Gordon said. “If we see $60 billion invested in logistics IT companies in the 2020s, at least 70% will come from private equity buyouts rather than venture capital startups,” he said. Those investments will help solid IT firms achieve scale and will, in general, foster a more stable operating environment, Gordon said.

Cold chain logistics is hotter than ever. Benjamin Gordon, Cambridge Capital and BGSA CEO in Palm Beach, explains why supply chain investment in cold storage and temperature controlled warehousing and logistics has become so important.

In the past year, we have seen a flood of capital pouring into temperature-controlled logistics facilities. Investors and buyers have rushed into the sector, eager to snap up the facilities that support the food supply chain.

Industry leaders Lineage Logistics and Americold, in particular, have been on a tear. Recent deals include

In just 11 years, Lineage has skyrocketed to become the largest company in its field. Today, Lineage and its competitor Americold together control 63% of the market for cold-storage warehousing, according to the International Association of Refrigerated Warehouses.
