Abstract :The competitiveness of digital technology-driven logistics is directly related to the ability of nations to adapt to digital transformation processes. In this context, digital technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), big data analytics, artificial intelligence, blockchain, and automation enable greater transparency in logistics processes, improved operational efficiency, and a faster and more effective response to customer demands. The competitiveness of technology-focused logistics competitiveness logistics has emerged as a significant area of research in recent years, garnering attention across various sectoral applications. In this study, bibliometric analysis was employed to reviewed the technology-focused logistics competitiveness utilizing data from the WoS and Scopus databases. The analysis, performed using Bibliometrix and Vosviewer software, examined 3,519 publications. The findings indicate a growing interest in this subject in recent years. Key topics highlighted in logistics-focused reviews include machine learning, blockchain, artificial intelligence, sustainability, the IoT, and Industry 4.0. Studies within these thematic frameworks identified China, the United States, and the United Kingdom as the leading countries. Additionally, the analysis of international collaborations revealed the importance of geographical and political proximity among these nations. The results of this study can be visually depicted to highlight key insights beneficial for policymakers, academicians, and businesses.
