What's the difference between modern logistics and traditional logistics?

Modern logistics industry exists in the national economic system, but it has unique industrial characteristics different from other industries. It is a compound industry, which is attached to other industries and has obvious externalities. These industrial characteristics inevitably make the development of logistics industry unique and personalized. With the development and changes of industrial environment, service objects and industry itself, modern logistics is showing many new development trends.

Industrial layout: The new logistics center will flourish with the industrial transfer.

Modern logistics, an advanced management model, first developed from economically developed areas. In these areas, with the expansion of industrial scale and the refinement of division of labor, materials are required to flow more smoothly between production, circulation and consumption. Under the guidance of demand, modern logistics has gradually matured, and some large-scale logistics centers have gradually formed in these areas.

However, the agglomeration of industries also makes the production costs of land, raw materials and labor in these areas continue to rise, and the resource constraints are increasingly prominent. As a result, a large number of industries, especially manufacturing industries, which are heavily invested in raw materials and labor, have begun to move out of these areas, and the areas that undertake these industries are basically relatively underdeveloped economies with a large number of cheap raw materials and labor.

These manufacturing-oriented transfer industries generate a huge amount of logistics and have a strong demand for logistics services. Therefore, industrial transfer will inevitably lead to the transfer of logistics center. Shipping is the most important carrier of international logistics. Before the 1990s, the world's large ports were mainly concentrated in Europe and North America, but in recent years, Asian ports have grown at an alarming rate. At present, the busiest container ports and ocean liner routes in the world are concentrated in the Asia-Pacific region, and most of these ports are third-generation ports with integrated logistics functions. These areas take ports as the core, integrate other modes of transportation, expand various logistics service functions, and become emerging international logistics centers; These logistics centers have built a global logistics network through the extension of international routes and the intersection of information.
