Express industry faces quality pformation

According to the latest data of the Federation of logistics and purchasing, the ratio of total logistics cost to GDP in China is 18%, an increase of 0.1 percentage points over the same period last year, and the logistics cost in the economic operation is still high, which is about twice that of the developed countries.

Most of the express companies raise the price of express because of the increase of labor and pportation costs, but the profits of logistics enterprises have been at a low level.

According to the report released by China Federation of logistics and purchasing in September, the profit of main business of logistics enterprises increased by 11.7% over the same period in 1-8, which is 16.6 percentage points lower than that of Industrial Enterprises above designated size.

Xu Yong, chief consultant of China Express consultancy network, said that at present, China's express industry is still in the "double low" stage, low service level and low price, and the industry profit margin has dropped from 20% in 2005 to about 5% now. Even some of the affiliate outlets are losing money.

It may be the trend of the express industry to raise quality through raising prices.

A private courier company Beijing district official said that since last year, the introduction of a series of regulations and regulations has gradually changed the scattered development mode of the express industry. During the "12th Five-Year" period, the logistics industry rating system is being tried out. It is foreseeable that the next step will be the upgrading of the express industry from price competition to service quality competition, and the future investment of the courier companies will be bigger and bigger, including the development of software, the purchase of aircraft wagons, and the steady income of the employees. Otherwise, they will be eliminated.
