"2024 Problem"

　The '2024 Problem' in Japan's logistics industry refers to the impact of labor regulations that took effect in April 2024. These regulations cap truck drivers' annual overtime at 960 hours, or about 80 hours per month, with the goal of improving working conditions. However, this change has exacerbated the existing driver shortage, significantly reducing transportation capacity. By 2024, the industry has already seen a 14.2% insufficiency in transportation capacity, leading to a shortfall of 400 million tons of goods transport. Projections indicate that this problem will worsen by 2030, with the insufficiency rate rising to 34.1% and the shortfall reaching

940 million tons, as highlighted in the chart. These regulatory changes, combined with the growing demand for logistics services due to e-commerce, are creating an urgent challenge for the industry.
