China remains world's largest logistics market for 7 straight years: federation

BEIJING -- China maintained its position as the world's largest logistics market for the seventh consecutive year in 2022, industry data showed.

Total revenue of the country's logistics sector came in at 12.7 trillion yuan (about $1.82 trillion) last year, according to the China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing.

Social logistics expanded to 347.6 trillion yuan in 2022, the data revealed.

China's top 50 logistics companies raked in about 2 trillion yuan in revenue last year, the federation noted, saying that a batch of internationally competitive enterprises have started to emerge in the market.

To build a modern logistics system, China should work on the digital transformation of its logistics infrastructure, including railways and ports, and promote the integration of resources in the sector, the federation said.
