With the super-fast growth of Amazon and the rest of the ecommerce market. It should come as no surprise that the ecommerce logistics market is growing as well. Companies such as FedEx, UPS, DHL and all other ecommerce logistic businesses should see a growth in the coming years as more people order stuff online.

Ecommerce has crossed the $1 trillion mark in 2013 and is expected to grow to over $2.4 trillion by 2018 - that's more than double in just 5 years.

Ecommerce logistic startups are emerging all the time and they're expected to grow with the growing market.

And you know what they'll definitely need... logistics.

The market is expected to see a 9.69% growth by 2020 and to surpass $781 billion by 2024. A great time to invest in the ecommerce & ecommerce logistics market is now.

3. Commodities

For those who don't know, commodities are raw materials and agricultural products such as Gold, Oil, Silver, Gas, Iron, Sugar, Cotton, Salt, Coffee beans, copper, tea, platinum, rice, wheat, Corn, Cocoa and live cattle.

People have traded these for centuries, they are basic elements we need in our life. With the increasing population, the demand has only increased. As soon as the supply goes down, the price will shoot up. That means if a bad weather ever hits a certain crop such as coffee, then it's time to buy because the price is almost guaranteed to increase.

Also, if you see supply being the same but the population (demand) growing fast then prices will go up too.

Here are two basic equations of how prices go up and down:

Low supply + high demand = price increase

High supply + low demand = price decrease

There's never been a better time to invest in commodities. With the population growing at an average rate of 1.1% and estimated to reach 8 billion by 2024 - that's only 8 years from now.

More people need food and not enough people supplying it... price goes up. Supply is finding it hard to catch up with the demand and that's good news for you.
