Today,themarketsegmentoftransportandlo-gistics services, offering traditional services intransportationandwarehousehandlingofcargotrafficinRussia,isrepresentedmainlybyalargenumberofsmallandmedium-sizedbusinesses.Initsturn,the3PLsegmentofintegratedlogis-ticsservicesisrepresentedmainlybyleadingin-ternationalcompanies.Despitethecrisis intheeconomyandsignificantdeclineindemand,theproblemofretainingmarketpositions,andalsomorein-depthdevelopmentofthemarketisrele-vantfortheplayersofbothsegmentsofthelogis-ticsmarket.Accordingtotheexperts’preliminaryestimates,by2015thetotalvalueofthemarketoftrans-portandlogisticsservicesinRussiawillhavetoincreasemorethantwice–fromUSD48.5billiontoUSD115billion[5].Atthesametime,morethan60%ofthisamountwillaccruetoMoscowandtheMoscowregion,aswellasSt.PetersburgandtheLeningradregion.TheRussian logisticsmarket isoneofthemostdynamicandfastestgrowingones.Before2013theannualmarketgrowthwasequalto15–30%(accordingtodifferentsources).Aftertheimpo-sitionofsanctionsagainsttheRussianFederationandtheeconomicdownturn,themarketgrowthoflogisticsserviceshasslowedsignificantlyandin the short term it is expected to be no morethan5%peryear.Despitetheobjectiveproblemsofthedevelop-mentofcontract logistics,oneofthemostim-portant trends is the fact that the market oftransportand logisticsservices inRussia isde-
velopingfromthecenter totheregions,but itisnotasfastaswewouldlike.Atthisstagethedecreaseindemandfromthecommercialandin-dustrialcompaniesintheregionsinterfereswithdisseminationofthecontract logistics.Expertssuppose,that inadditiontoobjectivereasons,lowdemandisexplainedbythelackofunder-standingofthebenefitsofthetransferoflogis-tics functions tospecializedcompanieson thepartofthemanagementofregionalcompanies,aswellasbythereluctanceofcargoownerstousetheservicesofthethirdparties.Consciousrejectionofservicesoflogisticsoperatoristhere-sultofseveralfactors:1. Absenceofactual3PLcompaniesonthemar-
ket, which cover the entire territory of thecountry.
2. Unwillingnesstochangetheirtechnologicalchain.
3. Feartogivecommercialinformationtologis-ticsoperator.
4. Workontheprinciple:“All Ihave, Ideliver,loadetc.bymyself.”
Beforethecrisis,amajorbarriertothegrowthof the logistics market was the lack of qualityinfrastructureintheregions.Today,thereduceddemand has been added. Nevertheless, somelogisticsoperatorsareconsideringthecrisis tobenotonlythetimeofhardships,butalsothetimefornewopportunities.Whilecompetitorsreduce their turnovers or leave the market, anumberofplayersareworkingoutthelogisticsmarketquestionsastostrengthentheirpositioninthemarketandcapturenewterritorieswiththelowestcost.Todothis,firstofall,youmustunderstandwherenewfacilitiesandlogisticsin-

MethodologicalParticularitiesoftheLogisticsServicesMarketResearch
Intheprocessof interpretingtheresultsofthestudies of the transport and logistics servicesmarket, thereareanumberofmethodologicalfeaturesthathavetobetakenintoaccountduringthecollectionandanalysisofthemarketingdata:
I. Data bias in state and departmental statisticsMostgenerally,toassessthemarketcapacityinkindorvalueterms it isnecessarytoapply theformula[1],whichrequiresthreeparameters:theproductionvolumeofgoodsorservices,exportandimportvolumes:
E=Pr+Imp—Exp,
whereE—marketcapacity;Pr—volumeofgoodsproducedorservicesren-dered;Imp—volumeofimportedgoodsorservices;Exp—volumeofexportedgoodsorservices.Asweknow,thedataof theFederalStateSta-tisticsService(Rosstat)donotpresent therealpictureontheproductionandsaleofgoodsandservices.Undercurrent law,only largecompa-nies,thatareopenjointstockcompanies,shouldmakeamandatoryreportonthevolumeofworkperformedorservicesrendered.Astomarketoftransportandlogisticsservices,thevastmajor-ityofthemarketparticipantsarelimitedliabilitycompanies,andthereforetheyneednotprovidethedataonthevolumeoftheservicesrenderedtotheFederalStateStatisticsService,whichre-sultsintheunderestimationofthemarket.

Itoftenhappensthatwhendescribingthesup-plied goods, both imports and exports, in thedatabaseoftheFCSofRussia(fieldcodeG31_1)and inthedatabaseofJSC“RussianRailways”,there is no detailed description of the goods,makingitdifficulttoassessthestructureandno-menclatureofthegoodstransported.Thesitua-tionisgreatlycomplicatedbythefactthatthereisnostatisticalinformationaboutoneofthemostpopularmodesoftransport—motorvehicles.Thus, it is difficult to estimate objectively theparameters of transport and logistics servicestaking intoconsiderationthebasisof thestateanddepartmentalstatisticsandinformationfromopensourcesonly.Thehighestdegreeofreliabi-lity,whichisachievedbyanalyzingthesecondarydatainRussia,neverexceeds50%.Toimprovethereliability it isnecessary touse theprimarymethod of collecting and analyzing marketingdataeither.
II. Methodical unreadiness of consumers and players of the transportation and logistics services market to use comprehensive tools to conduct expert interviewsIn the practice of the research, there are vari-ous levels of methodological readiness of themarketparticipants toconductcomprehensivemarketingresearch,whichisdefinedbytheabil-itytousequitesuccessfullycomplexanddetailedtools(questionnaires)inthestudy,anditallowstoobtainvoluminousanddetaileddatasetfromrespondents, that after statistical processing1

DeterminationoftheDemandforTransportandLogisticsServicesintheRegion
Oneofthemainpurposesofmarketresearchoftransportationandlogisticsservicesistodeter-minethedemandforservicesbydifferentgroupsofconsumers.Themainconsumergroupsare:
verticallyintegratedcompanies(theVICs); buildingholdingsandcompanies; petrochemicalplants; oil-and-gasservicecompanies; other manufacturing enterprises (ma-
chine-building, production of electricalandbuildingmaterials,food,textileandotherindustries);
independentretailersandotherbusinesses; retail chains (including those who are
planningtostartoperatingintheregion); otherconsumers.
During the analysis of the statistical data, thedemandfordifferenttypesof logisticsservices,adjustedtotheresultsoftheexpertsurveys, isdetermined.Theexample,givenbelow,showsthe demand for transport and logistics servi-ces,whichwasidentifiedduringthemarketre-search,toservethecargohandlingofmaterialsandequipmentintheUralFederalDistrict2(theUFO)—Figure2.Attheendof2012thetotaldemandfortrans-portandlogisticsservicesintheUFObyexploredsegmentwasabout556million tons. In2012the largest share of coverage (considering theall-Russianstructure)fellontransportationser-vices and forwarding (1,2 PL) was about 495milliontons,including61milliontonsforthefor-eign tradeservices(import-export).Estimateddemand for management logistics was about17million tons,demand forwarehousingandstoragewasabout44milliontons.

DeterminingtheStructureoftheDemandforTransportandLogisticsServices
Inadditiontoassessingthetotalcapacityofthetransportandlogisticsservicesmarketinthere-gion, it is importanttodetermine itsstructure.Asanexample,thestructureofthedemand3fortransport and logistics services in the SiberianFederalDistrict(theSFO)isgiven(Figure3).In2012buildingcompaniesshowedthegreatestdemandfortransportandlogisticsservicesintheSiberianFederalDistrict(about27%).TheTop-3amongtheVICsintermsofthedemandforlo-gisticsservicestodelivermaterialsandtechnicalresourceswere:Rosneft(Vankorneft),TNK-BP(StarwayProjectManagement)andGazprom-neft–Snabzheniye:about6%,2%and1%re-spectively.Significantproportionofthedemand(58%)fellontransportandlogisticscompanies.
3Thefollowingsegmentsaretakenintoaccountintheassessmentofdemand:VICs,buildingcompanies,pet-rochemicalplants,oil-and-gasservicecompanies.
Determinationof“GrowingPoints”intheMarketofTransportandLogisticsServices
Key issue in the study of transport and logis-ticsservicesinadditiontoassessingthecurrentdemand and its structure is to determine the“growingpoints”,whichwillprovideanincreasein demand for transport and logistics servicesinthemediumterm(5–7years).Toidentifythe“growingpoints”adetailedanalysisofpriorityofinvestmentprojectsiscarriedoutintheregion.Asanillustrativeexample,wepresenttheanaly-sisofpriorityprojectstobeimplementedintheUFO.Thelistincludes25projectsinsixregionsoftheUralsFederalDistrict,worthabout1.5trillionrubles(Figure4).PriorityProjectsdeterminethespecializationoftheUFOasaterritoryofdiversifieddevelopmentofmetallurgicalandminingproduction,refiningandpetrochemicals,aswellastheimplementa-tionofcomplex investmentprojects, includingthecreationof innovativetechnologyparks.
