Korea has accomplished a tremendous economic growth since 1970s and made one of the economic powerhouse in the world. However, its strategy of export-driven economy mainly focusing on manufacturing industries is facing its limit and the national economy suffers from the slow-paced growth. Most economic entities in Korea now try to seek for other sources of growth momentum and service industries, such the information technology, the biological technology and so on are emerging as alternatives. In addition to those service sectors, the logistics industry is also considered to have a great potential becoming high value-added and the Korean government have invested a large amount of financial sources to construction of logistics infrastructure and global logistics networks. Meanwhile, apart from the public sector, each company makes its own efforts to raise efficiency in the logistics tasks to reduce transportation cost, level of inventories and lead time. Recently, companies do not limit the scope of logistics to the internal process, but expand it to the whole process in the supply chain. This paper reviews recent developments of Third-Party Logistics (3PL) in Korea and aims to suggest the role of each economic entity for promoting the state-of-the-art logistics trend. According to recent surveys, outsourcing of logistics tasks has continuously increased to 56.0% since 2005. However, those papers also explain that shippers have little recognition of the positive effect of 3PL and government promotion programs. Considering those results, this study concludes the way to promote 3PL from the perspective of each entity. First, the management of the shipper should pay more attention to the effect of 3PL. Second, logistics companies should try to persuade shippers through ensuring transparency of logistics freight and sophisticated service expertise. Finally, the government sector should make ground of growth in 3PL by introducing various incentives and promoting good examples.
