Further, the report states that one of the major factors hindering the growth of this market is High operational cost and competitive pricing. With the surge in demand for specialized professional supply chain solutions and value-added services (VAS) in the global fine arts logistics market, the competitiveness in the fine arts logistics industry is increasing in terms of the pricing of services. Logistics service providers in the global fine arts logistics market are under constant pressure from customers, such as fine arts dealers, galleries, and museums, to keep the prices low. Due to the continuous variation in fuel prices, profits from fixed-term contracts with customers have reduced. As a result, fine arts logistics customers demand lower rates while renewing contracts.
