A new report by Ti Insight, featured in Parcel and Postal Technology International, projects that the global e-commerce logistics and e-fulfilment market will grow by 15.5% in 2025, despite upcoming policy shifts such as President Trump’s proposed removal of de minimis thresholds and rising tariffs on imports.
The report shows the market rebounding strongly after a dip during the 2022 post-COVID correction, reaching a value of €521.9bn (US$569bn) in 2024 — more than double its 2019 pre-pandemic size.
It’s clear: global demand for fast, flexible e-commerce delivery is not only back — it’s accelerating. But delivery is only half the story.
To thrive in this new phase of e-commerce growth, platforms and sellers must also rethink customs clearance, bonded warehousing, and return flows. That’s where NG Terminal is leading the way.
Local Delivery, Global Complexity
For international sellers and marketplaces targeting the UK and EU, a surge in order volumes often brings increased friction: delayed customs clearances, mounting duty costs, and inefficient return handling.
NG Terminal, based minutes from London Heathrow, is uniquely equipped to solve these challenges.
We combine:
- Bonded warehousing for duty-suspended storage
- Digital-first customs clearance through our proprietary platform MyNGT
- Return-ready local infrastructure
- And active involvement in the Reverse Logistics Association (RLA) through our sponsorship of IDX, RLA’s official media partner
Whether you’re fulfilling new orders or processing surplus stock, our ecosystem is built for scale, compliance, and efficiency.
Simplifying Cross-Border Fulfilment
At NG Terminal, our solutions support e-commerce operations from port arrival through to the customer’s doorstep — and back again, if needed.
Our integrated model includes:
✅ Bonded storage to delay import VAT and duties until dispatch
✅ MyNGT platform with API connectivity to automate customs declarations
✅ Multimodal gateway services via air, truck, and sea
✅ Return processing infrastructure to handle reshipments and overstock
✅ Real-time tracking and HMRC-compliant audit support
Built for Returns: Our Reverse Logistics Strategy
Returns are no longer a cost centre — they’re a strategic priority.
As sellers face rising consumer return expectations, along with increasing scrutiny from regulators and investors on sustainability, NG Terminal supports:
- Faster local returns processing
- Consolidation for re-export or liquidation
- Minimisation of carbon and financial waste
And while we’re not ready to announce it yet, we’re actively preparing the launch of a dedicated liquidation platform, which will give sellers a powerful option for dealing with unsold or returned stock in the UK.
Our involvement with IDX — the official media partner of the RLA — places NG Terminal at the centre of conversations about reverse logistics innovation. We’re not just warehousing goods — we’re helping clients reduce return volumes, manage surplus stock, and recirculate value back into the supply chain.
Ready for 2025 — and What Comes Next
As the e-commerce market continues its double-digit growth in 2025, logistics infrastructure must move just as quickly. NG Terminal provides the bonded, digital, and return-ready solutions that global sellers need to succeed in the UK and beyond.
From customs simplification to warehousing and reverse flows, our team is here to help you meet the demands of modern e-commerce.
