DEVELOPMENT OF LOGISTICS NETWORKS IN THE CONDITIONS OF DIGITIZATION AND MARKET INSTABILITY

DOI: 10.31673/2415-8089.2025.027191

Abstract

This article explores the development of logistics networks in the
context of ongoing digital transformation and increasing market volatility. The relevance of the study
stems from the urgent need to adapt logistics systems to rapidly changing global conditions, which
are shaped by technological innovations, unpredictable crises (such as the COVID-19 pandemic, the
war in Ukraine, and supply chain disruptions), and shifts in consumer demand. The main objective
is to identify current trends, risks, and tools that influence the evolution of logistics networks under
these conditions.
The research is grounded in a comprehensive analysis of scientific literature on digital logistics
and risk management and employs a methodological framework based on systems analysis,
comparative analysis, content analysis, expert assessments, and scenario modeling. Key focus areas
include the impact of digital platforms (such as TMS, WMS, ERP, SCM), big data analytics for
demand forecasting, automation of warehouse and transport processes, blockchain for supply chain
transparency, the Internet of Things (IoT) for real-time monitoring, and sustainable ("green")
logistics strategies.
The findings emphasize the necessity of transitioning from traditional, linear logistics models to
decentralized, flexible, and digitally integrated networks capable of responding proactively to
external shocks and internal operational shifts. The article presents practical recommendations for
enhancing supply chain resilience, operational efficiency, and environmental sustainability through
the strategic implementation of digital technologies. It also outlines avenues for further research,
including automation, risk forecasting, and adaptation of global practices to local economic contexts,
particularly in Ukraine.
Keywords: digitalization, logistics networks, market instability, supply chain, Internet of Things,
risk management, automation, resilience, sustainable logistics.
