1.1.2 Market prospect

(1) Analysis of the current situation of the logistics industry

Since China’s official accession to the WTO in 2001, the logistics industry has entered a new stage of development, promoting the globalization of “Made in China”. During the period of the Tenth Five-Year Plan (2001-2005), the policy emphasized the need to quickly establish a socialized and specialized modern logistics service system nationwide that ensures smooth flow of goods, is fast and timely, economically reasonable, and satisfies customers; During the 11th Five-Year Plan (2006-2010), the national level proposed to vigorously promote modern logistics management technology, strengthen the development and utilization of new logistics technologies, promote logistics informatization, and strengthen the integration of logistics infrastructure; the 12th Five-Year Plan (2011-2015) clearly defined the development goals of the logistics industry: the level of informatization, intelligence, and standardization in the logistics industry has been significantly improved, the logistics service capabilities of key industries have been significantly enhanced, and a modern logistics system that is socialized, specialized, and informationized has been initially established. During the 13th Five-Year Plan (2015-2020), China further reduced costs, increase efficiency, and serve the country as a major strategy for the logistics industry, making it a key task for cost reduction, addressing weaknesses, and promoting supply side structural reform, and focusing on promoting innovative development of the logistics industry.

During the 14th Five-Year Plan, according to the 14th Five-Year Plan for the Construction of the Modern Circulation System, accelerating the construction of modern circulation system, making the flow of goods and resources smoother, and improving commercial and logistics facilities have become important tasks for China’s logistics industry during the 14th Five-Year Plan and the industry has entered a stage of high-quality development.

In 2023, the scale of logistics demand reached a new high, with a total social logistics volume of 352.4 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 5.2% calculated at comparable prices. On a quarterly basis, the first quarter, the second quarter, the third quarter, and the fourth quarter saw growth of 3.9%, 5.4%, 4.7%, and 5.4%, respectively, showing a recovery trend of low at first, medium high in the middle, and stable growth finally. The overall growth trend for the whole year is positive.

From the composition of the total logistics volume, in 2023, the total logistics volume of industrial products in China exceeded 310 trillion yuan, accounting for over 88%; the next was the total import logistics volume of 18 trillion yuan, accounting for 5.1%; the total amount of logistics in other fields was relatively small.

According to data from China Internet of Things, the total revenue of China’s logistics industry has been increasing year by year from 2015 to 2023. The total revenue of the logistics industry for the whole year of 2023 was 13.2 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 3.9%, and the scale of the logistics revenue continues to expand. The year-on-year growth rate of basic logistics revenue such as transportation, warehousing, loading and unloading was around 3%, supporting the stable growth of the logistics market.

The logistics park plays a significant role in economic development, promoting the integration of multiple transportation modes, and improving the urban environment. In recent years, the government and enterprises have unanimously regarded it as a key project to promote regional and urban logistics development, providing strong support.

As of the end of 2023, the National Development and Reform Commission has led the layout and construction of 80 national logistics hubs, covering 29 provinces (regions, cities) and Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps, laying a solid foundation for accelerating the construction of a modern logistics operation system of “channel+hub+network” and supporting the construction of a new development pattern. From the perspective of regional distribution, Guangdong has the highest number of national logistics hubs.

The National logistics Hub Layout and Construction Plan provides top-level design for China’s modern logistics system, planning to build 212 national logistics hubs in 127 host cities across the country, including land port, port, airport, production service, commercial service, and land border port types. Changchun, Jilin, and Yanbian (Hunchun) in Jilin Province are included, and Jilin City has been designated as a national logistics hub for commercial and service-oriented industries. In 2021, Jilin City actively initiated the application and creation work.

(2) Development trends of the logistics industry

According to the 14th Five-Year Plan for the Construction of Modern Circulation System released by the National Development and Reform Commission, it is expected that by 2035, China’s modern circulation system will be fully established, forming a global, safe, reliable, efficient and smooth circulation network. The efficiency and quality of circulation operation will reach the world’s advanced level, and new advantages in participating in international cooperation and competition will be significantly enhanced. This will provide efficient support for the modern economic system and provide solid guarantees for meeting the needs of the people for a better life. In the coming period, the development direction of China’s logistics industry is as follows:

In the future, China will focus on filling the gaps in the modern circulation system, focusing on the high-quality development of the modern circulation system, accelerating the formation of a unified modern circulation market, and developing the two major systems of modern commercial circulation and modern logistics to further improve China’s logistics system. Based on the trend of changes in the total amount and revenue of social logistics in China in recent years, a forecast is made for the total revenue of social logistics in China in the next few years. By the end of 2029, the total revenue of social logistics in China may have reached 17.9 trillion yuan.

(3) Current situation of the cold chain logistics industry

Cold chain logistics is a professional logistics service that utilizes temperature control, preservation, and other technological processes, as well as facilities and equipment such as cold storage, refrigerated trucks, and refrigerated containers, to ensure that cold chain products are always in a specified temperature environment throughout the entire process of initial processing, storage, transportation, circulation, processing, sales, and distribution. Cold chain logistics, as a fundamental, strategic, and leading industry, is deeply integrated into the high-quality development process of modern agriculture, food processing, medicine and medical industries in China, accelerating the transformation and upgrading of industries, while fully ensuring the daily and emergency supply of“vegetable baskets”, “rice bags”, “fruit plates”, and “meat cases” for people’s livelihood, better meeting the growing demand for a better life of the people.

In recent years, the national level has issued multiple policies related to cold chain logistics, involving multiple departments such as the State Council, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, and the Ministry of Transport, with increasing policy support. For example, the National Development and Reform Commission proposed in the 14th Five-Year Plan for the Development of Cold Chain logistics that by 2025, a cold chain logistics network that connects production and sales areas, covers urban and rural areas, and connects domestic and international markets will have been initially formed, and a cold chain logistics system that is in line with China’s national conditions and industrial structure characteristics, and meets the needs of economic and social development will have been basically established.

With the continuous growth of market demand, support from government policies, continuous improvement of cold chain infrastructure, and driven by technological progress and innovation, the total amount of cold chain logistics in China continues to grow. The Research and Development Prospects Analysis Report on China’s Cold Chain logistics Industry from 2024 to 2029 released by China Academy of Commerce Industry Research shows that the total amount of cold chain logistics in China reached 8.90 trillion yuan in 2023, an increase of 40 billion yuan from 2022 and a year-on-year growth of 4.6%. the total amount of cold chain logistics in China  increased to 9.82 trillion yuan by 2024.

In recent years, the growing demand for people’s daily lives and the development of new formats such as imported cold chain products, fresh e-commerce, community group buying, live streaming e-commerce, and pre-packaged meals have driven the continuous growth of China’s cold chain logistics market. The Research and Development Prospects Analysis Report on China’s Cold Chain logistics Industry from 2024 to 2029 released by China Academy of Commerce Industry Research shows that the scale of China’s cold chain logistics market reached 517 billion yuan in 2023, a year-on-year increase of 5.2%. The size of China’s cold chain logistics market  increased to 574.5 billion yuan in 2024.

Cold chain logistics connects the production and consumption ends of modern agriculture, food processing, pharmaceutical products, etc., and is an important support for extending the industrial chain, building the supply chain, and enhancing the value chain. In recent years, with the support of policies and the continuous development of downstream industries, the total demand for cold chain logistics in China has continued to expand. The Research and Development Prospects Analysis Report on China’s Cold Chain logistics Industry from 2024 to 2029 released by China Business Industry Research Institute shows that in 2023, the overall cold chain logistics market in China was under pressure and the demand was gradually stabilizing and recovering. The total demand for cold chain logistics was about 350 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 6.1%. The total demand for cold chain logistics in China reached 387 million tons in 2024.

Cold storage can be regarded as the “base” of cold chain logistics. The construction and development of cold storage has become a top priority for the national backbone cold chain logistics base. The Research and Development Prospects Analysis Report on China’s Cold Chain logistics Industry from 2024 to 2029 released by China Academy of Commerce Industry Research shows that the total amount of cold storage in China was about 228 million cubic meters in 2023, an increase of 18 million cubic meters from the previous year and an increase of 8.3% year-on-year. The total capacity of cold storage in China reached 250 million cubic meters in 2024.

With the increase of policy support, the development prospects of China’s cold chain logistics industry are very broad. In 2024, the No. 1 Document of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China clearly proposed to promote the transformation and upgrading of agricultural product processing facilities, support the construction of regional pre-cooling and drying, storage and fresh-keeping, fresh cut packaging and other primary processing facilities, and develop intelligent, clean and intensive processing. This demonstrates the high importance and strong support that the country attaches to the development of the cold chain logistics industry. In the 14th Five-Year Plan for the Development of Cold Chain logistics, the country has set the goal of building a cold chain logistics network, requiring the preliminary formation of a cold chain logistics network that connects production and sales areas, covers urban and rural areas, and connects domestic and international markets by 2025. This provides policy support for achieving national and global layout of cold chain logistics.
