China's logistics market maintains the world's largest scale

2026-04-24   

Logistics is the "main artery" of the economic cycle. The latest data from the China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing shows that in the first two months of this year, the total amount of social logistics in China reached 58.6 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 6.7% calculated at comparable prices. The growth rate increased by 1.6 and 1.4 percentage points respectively compared to the whole year of 2025 and the same period in 2025. At present, the total amount of social logistics in China is steadily increasing, and the scale of logistics demand is steadily expanding. ”Liu Yuhang, Director of China Logistics Information Center, introduced that the total amount of social logistics in China has increased from 229.7 trillion yuan in 2016 to 368.2 trillion yuan in 2025, with a cumulative growth of over 60%. In 2025, the total revenue of China's logistics industry will exceed 14 trillion yuan, and the logistics market size will remain the world's largest for 10 consecutive years. Ultra long term special treasury bond and special debt have accelerated their landing, and funds for new policy based financial instruments have been released in an orderly manner... Since this year, China's macro policy effectiveness has continued to release, and the resumption of production after the supply chain link of the industrial chain has been promoted in an orderly manner. The logistics operation has shown a good start with the continuous accumulation of new drivers and continuous optimization of the structure. The growth rate of industrial logistics has accelerated and rebounded. In the first two months, the total amount of industrial logistics in China increased by 6.3% year-on-year, contributing over 80% to the growth of social logistics. The synchronous acceleration of the release of logistics demand related to industrial production, and the return of the total growth rate of industrial logistics to a relatively fast growth range, remains the main driving force for the growth of social logistics demand. In the first quarter, China's railways completed a cumulative freight volume of 1.281 billion tons, a year-on-year increase of 2.2%, while civil aviation completed a cumulative freight and mail volume of 2.452 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 9.3%. The transportation and freight network in our country maintains smooth and efficient operation, the transportation structure is accelerating adjustment and optimization, and the deepening of multimodal transport has become a prominent highlight. In terms of international logistics, the advantages of stable and efficient international logistics channels such as cross-border air cargo and China Europe freight trains have been further highlighted due to changes in regional geopolitical situations and increased uncertainty in traditional sea freight channels, becoming the core alternative choice for foreign trade logistics. In the first quarter, China's international air freight and postal transportation volume reached 1.105 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 17.6%; The China Europe freight train has operated a total of 5460 trains, sending 546000 TEUs of goods, an increase of 29% and 22% respectively year-on-year, achieving high-level acceleration growth. In the next stage, efforts should be made to consolidate the advantages of a super large scale market, deepen the construction of a unified national market, and ensure the smooth and stable flow of domestic and international logistics supply chains. At the same time, we will comprehensively implement various actions to effectively reduce the logistics costs of the whole society, guide logistics enterprises to optimize the quality of logistics service supply, and provide solid logistics support for the smooth circulation of the national economy and the smooth operation of the supply chain. ”Liu Yuhang said.
