Recommendation

Chinese investment bank China Renaissance provides a sharp analysis of China’s express delivery industry. The article covers the bigger picture and gives a useful overview for people already familiar with the industry.  However, it stays clear of more prickly issues: the harsh working conditions and labor law infringements, pervasive fraud, and the power play between giants Alibaba and Tencent – which could very well decide the future of China’s logistics. Because the article is rather dry and larded with financial jargon, getAbstract recommends it primarily to economists, business managers, financial advisers and entrepreneurs. 

Take-Aways

  • The explosion of e-commerce has turned China into the largest package delivery market in the world. 
  • The highly competitive courier market consists of self-operation enterprises and franchises. 
  • The market leaders are the self-operated SF Express and four franchise companies collectively known as the “Three Tongs and One Da.” Notable newcomers include JD.com and Best Express.
