Dear readers! In September the CeMAT RUSSIA exhibition was held, which showed everyone that innovations and robotics are increasingly penetrating the logistics industry. We can safely say that many technologies are tested here, and only then they go out into the world. However, it is not only CeMAT RUSSIA that demonstrates the prevalence of the digital agenda.

The crisis phenomena of recent years has had a negative impact on the finances of the majority of Russians, their purchasing power has decreased substantially. The middle class has suffered greatly, their growing appetite in the fat years accelerated the growth of GDP. The volume of consumers lending has decreased, and its conditions have tightened. Decline in demand has spread throughout the supply chain and caused business to optimize its operations and to deal with the costs. However, this has made it possible for retail chains, dictating conditions in the market, to shift part of their costs to suppliers. The article by Vyacheslav Holopov “The retailer is in the warehouse market in 2017: is the price negotiable?” is devoted to this problem. The review by Natalia Kireeva et al “Analysis of the warehouse property market of C and D classes in Moscow and Moscow region” is about the market of lower categories warehouses.
