DHL Express Asia Pacific market sees explosive growth
DHL Express has achieved significant growth in the Asia Pacific market, and this trend has been further consolidated and expanded in recent times.
1、 Freight volume growth
Compared to the first three quarters of 2023 and 2024, DHL Express has increased its freight volume between the Asia Pacific region and the rest of the world by approximately 6% this year. This growth demonstrates the important position of the Asia Pacific region in global trade and demonstrates DHL Express' market expansion capabilities in the region.
2、 Regional connectivity and efficiency improvement
DHL Express has successfully catered to the new trade growth points in the Asia Pacific region driven by supply chain diversification and geographical tailwinds by enhancing regional connectivity and efficiency. The company has conducted forward-looking planning and made timely and strategic enhancements throughout the region to respond to changes in demand. These enhanced features enable DHL Express to provide support to customers during the traditional peak season when consumer e-commerce traffic is surging.
3、 Logistics network upgrade
To cope with the growth of the Asia Pacific market, DHL Express has made multiple investments and upgraded its logistics network in the region. These upgrades include:
In Southeast Asia, DHL has upgraded its South Asia hub at Singapore Changi Airport, increasing scanning capacity by nearly 30% and sorting capacity by nearly 40%. In addition, the South Asia hub is equipped with five Boeing 777 freighters, optimizing transportation efficiency and reducing carbon emissions by 18%.
In Australia, DHL has opened a dedicated route between Sydney and Hong Kong and enhanced ground facilities, increasing parcel processing capacity by four times.
In North Asia, East Asia, and South Asia, DHL has strengthened its facilities at the Hong Kong West Service Center and opened an automated freight hub in New Delhi, India.
These measures significantly enhance DHL Express' logistics capabilities in the Asia Pacific region, enabling it to better meet customer needs.
Although DHL's TDI business volume has declined in certain regions such as the European market, its performance in the Asia Pacific market remains strong. DHL's express delivery department is responding to the decline in business volume through effective cost management and optimized network capabilities, and has gained many new businesses in the fields of energy, retail, life sciences and healthcare, and electronic fulfillment solutions.
DHL Express is expected to perform satisfactorily during the peak season of the fourth quarter as B2C e-commerce freight volume rebounds seasonally. Especially in the German market, the performance of DHL Express is worth looking forward to. At the same time, various business departments of the company are improving their operational capabilities to meet the challenges and opportunities of the future market.
DHL Express is experiencing significant growth in the Asia Pacific market, thanks to the company's efforts to enhance regional connectivity and efficiency, upgrade its logistics network, and actively respond to market changes. In the future, with the further development of global trade and the sustained prosperity of e-commerce, DHL Express's growth momentum in the Asia Pacific market is expected to be further consolidated and expanded.
