Yusen Logistics Named a Challenger in the 2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Third-Party Logistics for the Second Consecutive Year

Yusen Logistics has once again been recognized as a Challenger in the 2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Third-Party Logistics (3PL) report — marking the second consecutive year in which the company has been recognized.  To us, this recognition reflects Yusen Logistics’ continued momentum in delivering innovative, scalable, and customer-centric logistics solutions across a global network.

The Gartner Magic Quadrant evaluates third-party logistics providers based on their ability to execute and completeness of vision. As a Challenger, we believe Yusen Logistics is well-positioned because it demonstrates strong operational capabilities, a clear understanding of market needs, and a focused path toward innovation and growth.

"We are proud to be named a Challenger by Gartner for the second year in a row," said Hiroki Harada, Chief Executive Officer (CEO). “In our opinion, this acknowledgment highlights the dedication of our global teams and our unwavering commitment to delivering dependable, flexible, and future-ready supply chain solutions. Our strategy continues to be driven by the voice of our customers — helping them navigate complexity while building long-term resilience into their operations."

Over the past year, Yusen Logistics has further enhanced its services through investments in digital transformation and AI-driven analytics for our Yusen Vantage IT platform, which is designed to deliver increased visibility, responsiveness, and environmental performance throughout the supply chain. This translates into actionable insights that empower our customers. 

"We believe our continued placement in the Magic Quadrant reflects the importance we attach to creating smarter supply chains,” said Mikhail Kholyavenko, Chief Commercial Officer (CCO). “Whether it’s shipping by ocean or air, warehousing, e-commerce fulfillment, cold chain management, or supply chain solutions, we focus on providing options that adapt to our customers' changing needs and support their growth in a dynamic and often challenging global market."
