Monitoring data from the State Post Bureau showed that as of Feb 8, the volume of express deliveries nationwide had exceeded 10 billion this year, in just 39 days. Earlier data showed that the country's average daily delivery volume has exceeded 330 million since February.
The 2022 Central Economic Work Conference pointed out that the foundation of China's economic recovery is not yet solid, and the triple pressures of demand contraction, supply shock and weakening expectations are still big. The rapid growth of express delivery business from the beginning of the year fully demonstrates the vitality, resilience and growth potential of China's express delivery industry.
This year is the first year for fully implementing the Guiding Principles of the Party's 20 National Congress. It is also a crucial year for stepping into the post-COVID-19 era and bringing economic and social development back on track. Since the 18th National Congress of the CPC, China's express logistics industry has continued to run at a high level, leading the world in scale, optimized supply structure, closer industrial integration, and an all-round burst of market vitality. The development of the industry has outlined a high-spirited curve, and drawn a hot picture of service production, consumption promotion and smooth circulation.
Get through "Two last." The express delivery and logistics network is being steadily lowered, and a network system covering both urban and rural areas has been established to benefit the entire population, connecting the "last 100 meters" in urban areas and the "last kilometer" in rural areas, promoting the circulation of goods between urban and rural areas, expanding rural consumption, increasing rural incomes, and promoting rural revitalization.
Service economy supply and demand ends. On the demand side, relevant data show that in 2021, the express delivery industry supported the online retail sales of physical goods by more than 10 trillion yuan, accounting for more than 24% of the total retail sales of consumer goods, drove agricultural products out of villages and industrial products into rural areas by more than 1.85 trillion yuan, and supported the cross-border flow of goods by more than 40 billion yuan. It is an important force driving consumption and production in China. On the supply side, in recent years, the express delivery industry has been continuously empowered by science and technology, accelerated network sinking, accelerated green transformation, and improved production automation, intelligent service and management informatization.
Show market vitality and development potential. At present, China has built the world's largest postal and express service network covering the whole country, reaching into rural areas and reaching the whole world. It is a huge network with more than 43 million kilometers of one-way service, more than 410,000 outlets and nearly 700 million daily visits. China has consistently ranked first in the world in terms of express delivery, accounting for more than half of the global express package market. The annual per capita express delivery volume is close to 80. These figures reflect the boundless potential of the Chinese economy.
Reflect connectivity. With the acceleration of the process of digitization, automation, intellectualization, standardization, branding, greening and internationalization of the express delivery industry, and the accelerated implementation of the policies of "entering villages", "entering factories" and "going to sea", the express delivery industry is playing an increasingly prominent role in serving the major national strategies, ensuring supply and free flow, and serving the people's livelihood. It is strongly supporting China's modernization drive with its own modernization.
The express delivery industry is an important force driving national economic growth, serving the country's strategic deployment, ensuring stable economic and social operation, and satisfying the people's aspirations for a better life. As a barometer and barometer of China's economic and social development, the express delivery industry is an important window to observe China's economic and social development. The rapid growth of the express delivery industry at the beginning of the year shows that business operations are becoming more normal and consumer demand is gradually picking up, sending a signal of confidence in the market and a sign of economic stability. We look forward to a "good start" in the express delivery industry to boost the overall economic turnaround and achieve a "good year".
