TIER 2 level of the G11 General Industry Compass System

Within the G11 General Industry Compass System, GICS Trending acts as a bridge between stable sector order and current market and topic perception. The perspective complements GICS Core with a timely, discussion-oriented view - without any claim to completeness, but with a clear focus on relevance. The associated portal pages bundle information on sectors that are characterized by above-average interest from investors and journalists. The decisive factor here is not short-term market movement, but the recognizable relevance of a sector in public discourse.

GICS Logistics is a trend area within GICS Eleven and focuses on markets that enable the transportation, movement and distribution of goods. The focus is on companies and infrastructures that ensure that goods find their way from production to their destination. The subject area covers the entire environment of logistical processes. This includes physical transport services as well as the organization, control and safeguarding of supply chains. Infrastructure plays a central role here - from hubs where goods are bundled or forwarded to systems that enable smooth processes. GICS Logistics views logistics as a connecting element between production, trade and consumption. Changes in global supply chains, increasing demands for speed, reliability and transparency as well as new technological solutions are increasingly shaping this area. Many companies operate internationally and across multiple modes of transport. The focus is not on individual modes of transportation, but on structures and processes that make the flow of goods efficient. How goods are moved, where bottlenecks occur and which players play a key role are the central questions of this topic portal. GICS Logistics bundles these developments independently of traditional industry demarcations. Users of this information channel receive an overview of companies and trends relating to transport, logistics and infrastructure - and how global flows of goods are organized and managed.

The topics covered in GICS Trending do not follow a short-term market impulse, but arise from structural drivers that develop outside of classic price movements. Trends are understood here as consolidations of real economic, technological or social changes that are increasingly influencing capital markets, corporate strategies and public perception.

The underlying impulses vary:

  • Geopolitical developments can bring entire sectors into focus - for example, when security policy tensions, defense budgets or strategic dependencies are reassessed.
  • Technological breakthroughs act as a catalyst for topics such as digital assets, artificial intelligence or automation and permanently change existing value chains.
  • Changing threat situations - for example in the digital space - draw attention to sectors whose relevance arises less from growth than from necessity.
  • Social and cultural shifts can change consumption patterns and give rise to new markets long before they are fully categorized in regulatory or economic terms.

GICS Trending picks up on these developments where they become visible, shape discussions and have a cross-sectoral impact. The perspective thus serves as a transition between a stable sector order and a focused detailed view - it shows why certain topics are gaining in importance even before their influence is differentiated on a small scale.
