Rising international trade largely owing to cross-border e-commerce boosts the market's growth
- The manufacturing sector is the major demand generator of the CEP market. In 2020, 15 jurisdictions, including Australia, China, Japan, New Zealand, and the Republic of Korea, signed the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) with the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, making it the world’s largest free trade agreement, which came into force in 2022. Other aspects, such as rapid urbanization and significant growth in the e-commerce sector, drive the CEP market growth, wherein users in Asia are expected to touch 3.1 billion by 2025. India and Pakistan are also expected to witness significant growth in e-commerce in the projected period, which would boost the CEP market.
- China dominates the Asia-Pacific courier market, owing to factors such as the presence of many courier service suppliers and providers and the increasing growth of import and export activities. Around 16,681 courier businesses were operating in the country in 2021. These showcase the presence of foreign courier companies that had started gathering a larger market share during the historic period. In addition, In 2021, China's cross-border e-commerce import and export scale increased by 18.6% YoY as demand in various regions and countries rose post-pandemic. During the Double 11 shopping festival in 2021, a total of 696 million parcels were shipped, an increase of 18.2% over the previous year.
- E-commerce is one of the major factors driving the market growth for CEP. The fashion segment in Asia generated the largest revenue in the e-commerce market at over USD 356 billion. The revenue from the fashion segment is further projected to touch USD 582 billion by 2024, owing to increasing demand and a rise in e-commerce, which is expected to drive the CEP market demand significantly.
Indian logistics companies target 2.5 billion DTC shipments by 2030 due to booming e-commerce
- China the world's largest construction market, is projected to grow at an average annual rate of 8.6% during 2022-2030. In 2022, the construction sector accounted for over 6.5% of the country's GDP.

The top construction companies in China based on revenue are China Railway Construction Corporation Limited, China State Construction Engineering, and China Dalian International Economic and Technical Cooperation Group, with revenues of USD 147.27 billion, and USD 273 billion.
- By 2030, modern logistics companies are expected to be responsible for delivering 2.5 billion shipments directly to consumers (D2C). In 2022, the e-commerce market generated a total revenue of USD 60.73 billion, experiencing a YoY growth of 3.62%.

Asia Pacific Courier, Express, and Parcel (CEP) Market Trends
Asia-Pacific's Plan Aims to Tackle Soaring Freight Demand, Anticipates Tripled Transport Needs by 2050
- The region's new Regional Action Programme (RAP) addresses issues like increasing freight and passenger volumes and reflecting the rising demand for freight transport and mobility. Two-thirds of global seaborne trade is concentrated in the Asia-Pacific region, which is also home to nine of the world's busiest container ports. The region is responsible for more than 40% of the global surface freight transport flows, and by 2050, the region's demand for freight transport is projected to triple.
- Full-year new logistics supply for Asia-Pacific is expected to reach 167 million sq. ft in 2022, 58% higher than the previous three-year average. The logistics and warehousing sector is undergoing significant changes with increased mergers and acquisitions. Both innovation and sustainability are key factors for the sector, where shorter turnaround times and efficiency in operations are in demand. In 2021, the Suez Canal blockage and new waves of COVID-19 infections constrained manufacturing capacity in India, Thailand, Vietnam, and Indonesia.
- International freight transport remained largely operational throughout the pandemic as countries implemented policy measures to preserve freight transport connectivity to support supply chains. The Asian Highway, Trans-Asian Railway, and dry port networks established under ESCAP auspices serve as the backbone for the region's land transport infrastructure connectivity and logistics. They are also increasingly integrated with inter-regional transport corridors and port and shipping networks. In 2020 and 2021, these links brought countries together to capture and analyze their responses to the pandemic and the impacts of those actions on regional connectivity.
Crude oil prices are soaring in the Asian economies owing to global uncertainties
- Crude oil reached USD 130 per barrel in March 2022, its highest level since 2008, before retreating to USD 100 per barrel in April of the same year. The factors behind the rise include protracted low investment in global oil production, a decline in the global inventory, and a rise in the demand related to economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. Though the overall economic impact has been modest in Asia-Pacific, the situation can change quickly, subject to the magnitude and duration of oil price increases. Crude oil prices may overshoot, like many commodity and financial prices.
- Due to a strong economic recovery in Asia, oil prices surpassed USD 80 in November 2021, more than double the price in 2020. The price may increase further due to global geopolitical uncertainties and tight supply conditions. Reaching USD 200 is not so farfetched considering that the historic high of USD 140 oil in 2008 translates to over USD 180 in current dollars. Higher oil prices are often economically damaging for net oil importers, impacting real income and hurting growth. Most regional economies are net oil importers except for a few oil exporters, such as Brunei, Malaysia, and Vietnam.
- For the short term, the region must prioritize the rising oil prices and global interest rates and maintain a stable macroeconomic environment of low inflation and prudent fiscal balances. The average price of gasoline around the world remains at USD 116.94 per liter. The price of petrol stands at USD 1.16 per liter in India, USD 0.93 per liter in China, and USD 1.002 per liter in Pakistan. The differences in prices across countries are due to the various taxes and subsidies for gasoline.

Keyword | Definition |
---|---|
Axle Load | The axle load refers to the total load (weight) bearing on the roadway through wheels connected to a given axle. Across the globe, there are systems in place to ensure axle load monitoring, wherein surpassing the defined limits set by the concerned regulatory authority can lead to penalty/fine. For transportation of goods via road this can be an important determinant of costs as knowledge about the axle load limits can be used to (i) load the vehicle optimally for maximizing profits (ii) avoid exceeding the same and hence the probable fines associated (iii) avoid wear and tear of the vehicle (iv) avoid damage to pavement resulting in noticeable public maintenance and repair costs (v) achieve better turnaround time. |
Back Haul | Backhaul is the return movement of a transport vehicle from its original destination to its original point of departure, and can include full, partial, or empty truck loads (all or part of the way) depending on the visibility of the local freight ecosystem. In this regard, transportation of empty containers to the point of origin, known as deadheading is also a significant factor, considering the supply/container shortages across the geographies, resulting in cost escalation and under optimized profit potential attainment. Generally, the carriers offer discounts on the backhaul, to secure freight for the trip. |
Bill of Lading (BOL) | A bill of lading is a legal contract document issued by a carrier to a shipper to acknowledge reception of their cargo, and is evidence for the contract of carriage between the two parties. Broadly it details the (i) type, quantity, and other specifications of the goods being carried (ii) destination, and terms & conditions of the shipment (iii) carrier and drivers with all the necessary information to process the shipment, which can be used for insurance and customs clearance purposes (iv) assurance that the consignment is damage-free and ready to be shipped to the consignee. In this regard, a house bill of lading (HBL) is a document issued by a freight forwarder or a non-vessel operating common carrier (NVOCC) to acknowledge receipt of items for shipment (to a shipper). If shipments from several shippers are involved a master bill of lading (MBL) might be involved which is a consolidated version of the same for all the shipments being taken care of by the carrier (to a common destination) and might be issued by the carrier to the freight forwarder or the shipper (depending on who books the transport). |
Bunkering | Bunkering is the process of supplying fuel to power the propulsion system of a ship. It includes the logistics of loading and distributing the fuel among available shipboard tanks. In this regard, (i) Bunker fuel is technically any type of fuel oil used aboard ships. It gets its name from the containers on ships and in ports that it is stored in; in the days of steam they were coal bunkers but now they are bunker-fuel tanks, (ii) Bunker refers to the spaces (Tank) on board a vessel to store fuel, (iii) Bunker trader refers to a person dealing in trade of bunker (fuel), (iv) Bunker call is made when a cargo ship anchors or berths in a port to take on bunker oil or supplies, (v) Bunkering service is the supply of a requested quality and quantity of bunkers to a ship. Bunkering is signficant from point of view of freight rates applicable to the shipper as Bunker Contribution (BUC)/ Fuel Adjustment Factor (FAF)/ Bunker Adjustment Factor (BAF) are applied by shipping lines to offset the effect of fluctuations in the cost of bunkers. |
Cabotage | Transport by a vehicle registered in a country, performed on the national territory of another country. Cabotage law may restrict domestic cargo traffic to be carried in its own nationally registered, and sometimes built and crewed vehicles, though regulations vary across industries/commodity groups/countries and sometimes specify maximum allowable percentage of cabotage that can be serviced by foreign registered fleet. |
C-commerce | Collaborative commerce (also known as C-commerce), (i) describes electronically enabled business interactions among an enterprise’s internal personnel, business partners and customers throughout a trading community (industry, industry segment, supply chain or supply chain segment); (ii) is the optimization of supply and distribution channels to capitalize on the global economy by using new technology efficiently. Advantages of C-commerce, to detail few include (i) maximization of organization's efficiency and profitability (ii) technology integration with physical channels to allow companies to work together (iii) increased information exchange such as inventory and product specifications, using the web as an intermediary (iv) increased competitiveness by reaching a broader audience. Examples of C-commerce, also known as peer-to-peer commerce, include (i) companies that allow consumers to rent things from each other, or marketplaces, such as Meta (formerly Facebook) Marketplace, that allow the sale of used goods; (ii) DoorDash teamed up with many national brands, such as McDonald’s and Chipotle, to offer fast food delivery, building their business model on c-commerce. They have since expanded their delivery service from restaurants to retailers and even offer 'fleets' of drivers to businesses. |
Courier | A business/company that delivers packages/parcels/shipments (upto 70 kgs) including quick door to door pickup and delivery service for goods or documents, domestically or internationally, on a commercial contract basis. Example, DHL Group, FedEx, United Parcel Service of America, Inc., USPS, International Distributions Services, J&T Express, SF Express among several others |
Cross docking | Cross docking is a practice in logistics management that includes unloading incoming delivery vehicles and loading the materials directly into outbound delivery vehicles, omitting traditional warehouse logistical practices and saving time and money. It requires close synchronization of both inbound and outbound movements. It is highly significant in reduction of costs pertaining to warehousing & storage (and the associated Value Added Services). |
Cross Trade | International transport between two different countries performed by a vehicle registered in a third country. A third country is a country other than the country of loading/embarkation and the country of unloading/disembarkation. Cross Trade law may restrict international cargo traffic to be carried by respective country's registered vehicles, and sometimes built and crewed vehicles, though regulations vary across industries/commodity groups/countries and sometimes specify maximum allowable percentage of cross trade that can be serviced by foreign registered fleet. |
Customs Clearance | The process of declaring and clearing cargoes through customs. It includes the procedures involved in getting cargo released by Customs through designated formalities such as presenting import license/permit, payment of import duties and other required documentations by the nature of the cargo. In this regard, a customs broker is a person or company licensed by the respective department of the country to act on behalf of freight importers and exporters. |
Dangerous Goods | Dangerous goods (or hazardous materials or HAZMAT) include flammable liquids/solids, gases (compressed, liquified, dissolved under pressure), corrosives, oxidising substances, explosive substances and articles, substances which on contact with water emit flammable gasses, organic peroxides, toxic substances, infectious substances, radioactive materials, miscellaneous dangerous goods and articles. |
First mile Delivery | First mile delivery refers to the (i) first stage of the freight/shipment/cargo/courier transportation (ii) the transportation of goods from a merchant’s premises or warehouse to the next fulfillment centre/warehouse/hub from where the goods are forwarded (iii) shipping goods from local distribution centers to stores (For retailers) (iv) transportation of finished goods from a plant or a factory to a distribution center (For manufacturers), (v) pick up of goods from the end-customer’s home or store followed by movement to a warehouse or storage location (movers and packers), (vi) process where goods are picked up from a retailer and then transferred to third-party logistics providers or courier service providers to be delivered to the end-consumer (e-commerce). Once the package reaches the next warehouse or the courier’s hub, it is then sorted and transported further until it reaches the customer’s doorstep. Example, if one chooses UPS as a courier, first-mile delivery will be the product being delivered from manufacturer's/retailer's warehouse to the UPS’s warehouse/ fulfilment centre. |
Last Mile Delivery | Last mile delivery refers to the very last step of the delivery process when a parcel is moved from a transportation hub (warehouse or a distribution center or fulfillment centre) to its final destination, which usually is a personal residence/retail store/ business, or parcel locker. It accounts for around half of the total cost involved in entire process of first mile, middle mile, and last mile delivery, though it can vary shipment to shipment, based on commodity, business model and similar factors. |
Milkrun | A Milk Run is a delivery method used to transport mixed loads from various suppliers to one customer, using lean management principles applied to logistics. Instead of each supplier sending a truck every week to meet the needs of one customer, one truck (or vehicle) visits the suppliers to pick up the loads for that customer. This method of transport got its name from the dairy industry practice, where one tanker used to collect milk from several dairy farms for delivery to a milk processing company. A milk run can be a more efficient way to handle logistics but require proper planning. If the route involves products from different companies, there is need for an agreement about cost-sharing and other aspects of the cooperative delivery arrangement. Once the group settles these issues, this delivery method can save time and money for everyone by pooling operation costs and resources. |
Multi country consolidation | Multi-Country Consolidation (MCC) is a cost-effective solution that consolidates one's cargo from different countries of origin to build Full Container Loads (FCL). MCC is most suitable for companies that import light volumes of goods from multiple countries but want to take advantage of the more economic FCL freight rates. Apart from costing some of the other advantages include (i) flexibility to choose suppliers from a wider range of origin countries without worrying about the logistics to final destination from each origin, (ii) ability to pick the most suitable suppliers from many different countries for one's business operations. The increase in one's sourcing options by MCC provides the kind of flexibility needed in competitive global markets. |
Q-commerce | Q-commerce, also referred to as quick commerce, is a type of e-commerce where emphasis is on quick deliveries, typically in less than an hour. The companies providing Q-Commerce services might have vertically intergrated model or might be using third party delivery platforms (outsourced logistics). It has advantages like (i) competitve USP, (ii) potential to earn greater profit margins, (iii) better customer experience, (iv) guaranteed availability of products, (v) traceability, and (vi) scaleability. |
ReverseLogistics | Reverse logistics is a type of supply chain management that moves goods from customers back to the sellers or manufacturers and may involve ciruclar economy principles (3Rs) viz. recycling, reuse (repurposing, reselling), reducing or repairing. In this regard, reverse commerce (or Recommerce) is the selling of previously owned items through physical or online marketplaces/distribution channels to buyers who reuse, recycle or resell them. |
