Core Topics: Supply Chain Resilience in Focus

Global Supply Chain Restructuring

In the post-pandemic era, the global supply chain has entered a period of deep adjustment. One of the core topics at this expo is supply chain resilience building. Participants generally believe that factors such as geopolitical changes, climate change risks, and rising labor costs are reshaping the global supply chain landscape.

The Vice President of the China Federation of Logistics and Procurement stated in the opening ceremony: "Building resilient supply chains has become a strategic priority for enterprises. As the core support of the supply chain, the logistics industry must accelerate digital transformation and enhance end-to-end visibility and intelligent decision-making capabilities."

Digitalization and Intelligence

Digital transformation is another core topic of this expo. From intelligent warehousing systems and unmanned handling equipment to blockchain traceability technology, the logistics technology innovations on display were impressive.

Key technologies showcased include:

Chinese Logistics Market: Challenges and Opportunities Coexist

Continuous Market Growth

The Chinese logistics market is the world's largest single-country logistics market. In 2025, China's total social logistics exceeded 360 trillion yuan, growing approximately 4% year-on-year. Cross-border e-commerce logistics, cold chain logistics, and instant delivery segments maintained rapid growth.

Structural Challenges

However, the industry also faces structural challenges: price competition caused by overcapacity, rising labor costs, increasing environmental pressure, and uncertainties from global supply chain restructuring.

Participants generally believe that 2026 will be a "critical transition period" for the Chinese logistics industry. Industry consolidation will further accelerate, and leading enterprises with digital capabilities and service innovation capabilities will gain larger market shares.
