There is no doubt express logistics has become a sunrise industry, the year 2013 the amount of 9.2 billion, equivalent to 7 per capita, approaching traffic superpower America express industry. But people on the industry's general impression is "barbaric growth," violence sorting, mail prohibited items, lost items, franchisees uneven, throat price competition and other industries have been repeatedly criticized ills. Recent "poison Express" leaving the event in the media industry on the cusp.

Barbaric growth problems caused by the industry, has its reasons,

Such as price competition, due to the express industry is relatively easier to enter the private capital industry, and pre-entry technology threshold is not high, resulting in a large number of small courier companies a competitive market, some as long as a car courier franchisee, few people It can open up the stage. Lack of core competitiveness, only that price, that price is the result of service degradation, and even take the risk acceptance "drug delivery."

Further, considering other policy restrictions and cost, in addition to other private courier companies outside SF often join the system to expand the national business, which brings potential risk management. "Drug delivery" is the point of acceptance tact franchisees.

Due to drastic changes in the market ecology, the traditional courier companies to achieve the transformation and upgrading of facing difficulties. Major companies are spending huge sums in recent years, a "catch-up" in the processing apparatus, information technology, intelligent management, etc., but it is difficult to quickly fill the gaps of multiple delivery infrastructure. Infrastructure has seriously lagged behind growth in express logistics needs.

Looking ahead, China express logistics industry will usher in a period of sustained high growth, but according to the experience of the United States and other countries, the industry is highly scale, UPS, Fedex, DHL, etc. are staggering scale multinational group. Therefore, the future of China express logistics industry after anybody's game, you may see more corporate bankruptcies and mergers and acquisitions.
