Opportunities & Challenges in China
The Chinese logistics industry grew by over 20 percent in 2007. The growth rate was more than 5 percent higher than the year earlier. At the same time, the cost of logistics in China is twice that of developed nations. One of the main reason for this situation is the shortage of skilled professionals. Another reason for rising costs is the highly fragmented industry, with over 70,000 registered logistics companies with an average fleet size of less then 3 trucks. Thirdly, there is always a risks with losses from cargo: worldwide theft account to approximately USD 30 billion annually. Trustworthy local support is needed to implement prevention measures, standards and best practices to ensure products are all correctly distributed..
On the other hand, there are numerous ungrasped opportunities in China. For instance, China is now the world's second biggest consumer and the third biggest producer of automobiles. The fast growth of the automobile industry brings great opportunities for auto logistics. However, low efficiency and empty backhauls are very common for auto logistics. Optimization of supply chain is the key for successfully grasping this opportunity.
