T & L COMMENT * Asia Pacific express/logistics investment continues apace
UK -Transport Intelligence -30 Oct 2006: -- In line with the continuing heavy investment in China and S.E. Asia, two of the leading global express players appear to be making major additions to their infrastructure in the region... Last week DHL announced that it was to develop an air cargo hub at Shanghai (Pudong) International Airport, specifically for its express parcel operations. This is part of its joint-venture with Sinotrans, which is based out of Shanghai but covers the whole of China. The DHL –Sinotrans Express parcels business is the largest in China with an estimated 40% of the market. In addition to the air cargo hub, the DHL-Sinotrans Express parcels business is building a corporate HQ in Shanghai and expanding its branch network to 72 offices throughout China... Whilst China is a fragmented market, with major differences between the Pearl River Delta, Shanghai and Beijing, the fact that companies such as DHL and UPS are investing in more than one hub in the region illustrates the size of their growth expectations. If expansion continues at this pace the China air-hub infrastructure of the two companies could shortly be larger than DHL has in the US or UPS has in Europe...
