The aim of this paper is to, based on the analysis of materials collected via the Internet, review the contemporary changes relevant to logistics in the global 3PL industry. The analysis presents the position and role of 3PL providers in supply chains and the global logistics market. The work consists of three conceptually and logically tightly connected parts. In the first part, the various characteristics of 3PL are discussed as one of the most common outsourcing models of logistics activities and supply chain operations. The second part presents changes in the global market (growth of foreign purchases, demand for omnichannel services, operating costs and price competition) that affect the ability of 3PL providers to quickly adapt their logistics services to market needs. The last, and also the largest part of the work, is dedicated to the key generators of the growth of the global 3PL market.
