Does the warehousing industry have a prospect?

Warehousing is the inventory control center in logistics and supply chain. Inventory cost is one of the main costs of supply chain. In the United States, inventory costs account for about one-third of the total logistics costs. Therefore, under the framework of supply chain, managing inventory, reducing inventory and controlling inventory cost have become the main tasks of warehousing to reduce the total cost of supply chain.

Warehouse logistics is the use of self-built or leased warehouses and sites to store, keep, load and unload and distribute goods. The traditional definition of warehousing is given from the perspective of material reserve. Modern "warehousing" is not "warehousing" or "warehousing management" in the traditional sense, but warehousing under the background of economic globalization and supply chain integration, and warehousing in the modern logistics system.

How to develop the warehousing and logistics industry? Analysis on the development prospect, trend and present situation of warehousing and logistics industry in 2020.

In recent years, the warehousing industry in China has developed rapidly. With the rapid increase of online shopping, online payment and the number of mobile electronic merchants, more and more enterprises begin to enter the warehousing industry on a large scale. By the end of 2008, the number of warehousing enterprises in China had reached 174 16, and the employees in the warehousing industry reached 5 1 1000, and the operating income of the warehousing industry reached 302.09 billion yuan. In 2009, the investment in fixed assets of the warehousing industry reached 654.38+0766 billion yuan, and the added value reached 654.38+0737 billion yuan. In 20 10, the new warehouse area reached 2130,000 square meters, an increase of 700,000 square meters compared with 2009.

2019-1-September, the logistics operation was generally stable and the structure continued to improve. The total social logistics in China was 2 15.9 trillion yuan, with a year-on-year increase of 5.7% at comparable prices. Among them, industrial logistics slowed down, the demand for imported logistics rebounded slightly, and the demand for logistics related to people's livelihood maintained rapid growth. From June 5438 to September, the contribution rate of industrial logistics to the growth of total social logistics decreased to 88%, while the contribution rate of imports and unit residents' logistics demand continued to increase, totaling more than 10%. The basic role of consumption has been continuously strengthened, the endogenous power of growth is good, and the pulling effect on the growth of logistics demand has been continuously consolidated. From 20 19 to 1-9, the logistics operation cost in China increased. The total cost of social logistics 10.2 trillion yuan, up 7.5% year-on-year. At present, the problem of "high cost, low efficiency and no environmental protection" in China logistics is more prominent. Therefore, the government will continue to promote the logistics industry to reduce costs and increase efficiency, and pay attention to the establishment of medium and long-term goals and the construction of long-term mechanisms. Through decentralization, tax reduction and fee clearing, complementary advantages and innovation drive, we will strengthen industry standardization, planning and intelligence, and promote the development of logistics industry to enter the stage of both quantity and quality.

Market scale of warehousing and logistics

Storage enterprises are small in scale and have low economic benefits. In the past two years, although the business volume and main income of China's warehousing enterprises have increased substantially, their profits are low. The average assets of storage enterprises are only 25.33 million yuan. In all logistics enterprises, the average profit rate of business income is 8.77%. There is a shortage of warehousing talents. To develop the warehousing industry, we need not only talents with certain professional skills, but also operational talents and warehousing management talents, which are relatively scarce in China in recent years.

Warehouse is the dispatching center of logistics and supply chain. Warehousing is directly related to the efficiency and response speed of the supply chain. People hope that the accuracy of modern warehousing can reach more than 99%, and it can quickly respond to special needs. Same-day delivery has become a business model adopted by many warehouses. Customers and warehouse managers constantly improve the accuracy, timeliness, flexibility and response to customer needs.

Thirdly, warehousing is a value-added service center in logistics and supply chain. Modern warehousing not only provides traditional warehousing services, but also provides post-assembly, packaging, coding, labeling, customer service and other value-added services related to the manufacturing delay strategy, so as to improve customer satisfaction and thus improve the service level in the supply chain. It can be said that most value-added services in logistics and supply chain are embodied in warehousing.

Finally, warehousing is the main application center of modern logistics equipment and technology. The integrated management of supply chain is realized by the application of modern management technology and scientific and technological means, and efficiency promotes the integrated operation of supply chain. The application of advanced scientific and technological means and equipment such as software technology, Internet technology, automatic sorting technology, photoconductive sorting, RFID and voice control technology provides conditions for the improvement of warehousing efficiency.
