Prologis 2027 Supply Chain Outlook Highlights Delivery and Energy Pressures

Prologis and The Harris Poll have released the 2027 Supply Chain Outlook, based on a survey of more than 1,800 supply chain leaders worldwide. The report identifies expectations for fast delivery and growing energy demand as forces reshaping logistics and warehouse networks.

Among the businesses surveyed, 58% offer same-day or next-day delivery. The finding illustrates how delivery speed is becoming a consideration in decisions about where goods are stored and how they move through the supply chain.

Delivery Speed and Energy in Network Planning

Faster delivery can affect the relationship between inventory location and the customers a business serves. A company seeking shorter delivery times may need to weigh where to position goods against the demands placed on its warehouse and transportation operations.

Growing energy demand adds another consideration to those decisions. As supply chain leaders reassess how goods move, the availability of energy at logistics and warehouse locations may influence which network arrangements are practical. The reported findings point to both pressures, but do not establish how they will affect individual facilities or businesses.
