Abstract: Logistics is expected to grow by 3%–10% per annum promising tremendous economic opportunities for the countries in the ASEAN region. In the midst of these opportunities, several countries have undertaken concerted efforts to improve their logistics sector, upgrade their infrastructure and technology to get a bigger slice of the market. In the light of this increasing competition and potential economic benefits in the logistics sector, the objective of this paper is to examine the determinants of competitiveness in logistics and identify the key factors that are required for a successful logistics hub. For the logistics hub, the analysis on the determinants of competitiveness is made using Singapore as a case study before drawing some implications/lessons for the countries in the Southeast Asian region.
