Current situation of logistics and transportation in China

China's logistics industry started late, but with the rapid development of the national economy, it maintained a high-speed growth, and constantly improved its system, becoming more mature and standardized.

With the rapid development of China's economy, the logistics industry, as an important part of the national economy, has also experienced rapid development and changes. However, under the background of economic transformation and upgrading in China, the logistics industry is also facing many challenges and opportunities. In recent years, the scale of China's logistics industry has grown rapidly, and the added value of the national logistics industry increased by 6.5% in 20 19.

Among them, the added value of transportation logistics accounts for the largest proportion, accounting for 55.6%, warehousing logistics accounts for 22.5%, distribution processing and distribution logistics accounts for 17.2%, and logistics information and technical services account for 4.7%. It can be seen that transportation logistics and warehousing logistics are still the main components of the logistics industry. China's logistics market structure is characterized by high dispersion and fierce competition.

Industry status

In the field of transportation, there are about 7 million trucks in the national road transport market, of which 80% are self-employed. There are about 1.5 million trains in the railway transportation market, among which the number of emus is less than 1%. There are about 25,000 cargo ships in the waterway transportation market, among which container ships are less than 1%. These data show that there is a huge integration space for the logistics market structure in China.

At present, the logistics industry in China is very competitive. In the field of transportation and logistics, it mainly includes four modes of transportation: highway, railway, waterway and aviation. Among them, the highway transportation market scale is the largest, but the gross profit margin continues to decline. Railway transportation has the advantages of large transportation capacity and low cost, but there are high barriers to entry. Waterway transportation has the advantages of low cost and large scale, but it is limited by natural conditions such as ports and waterways.
