Logistics Predators Aim At China Fashion Apparel Logistics Market

　 Recently, DHL, a global logistics giant, aimed at China's fashion and garment logistics market with an annual output value of US $7 billion 500 million. It continued to increase market input and set up a textile and clothing distribution center in Shanghai. It is expected that the centre will be completed by the end of this year to meet the growing demand for faster, efficient door-to-door distribution services in the domestic textile and garment industry.

DHL is a well-known brand of Deutsche Post DHL. In 2009, DHL achieved more than 46 billion euros in revenue. DHL is committed to providing specialized services in international express delivery, including air, sea, highway and rail transportation, contract logistics and international postal services. DHL has a delivery network covering more than 220 countries and regions around the world. It has 300 thousand employees worldwide and is the leading enterprise in the world's logistics industry.

Liang Qiyuan, chief executive of DHL global freight logistics North Asia Pacific, said: "the North Asia Pacific region produces and exports more than half of the world's fashion and apparel products, while China is leading the growth of the fashion and garment industry in the region. In the global fashion and garment export market, the North Asia Pacific region accounts for 66% of the world's air cargo exports, while 54% of the world's maritime export volume comes from the North Asia Pacific region. China is still the world's largest exporter of textiles and garments. By 2014, it will maintain the annual compound growth rate of 6% of air cargo and seaborne exports. At the same time, the development of its domestic retail market is also quite rapid, so it is very necessary to establish distribution centers in China. Liang Qiyuan said that in response to this growth demand, DHL has expanded the storage and distribution network of the first tier cities, and is moving deeper into the two or three tier cities. These centers are primarily responsible for developing customized solutions and providing advisory services to customers, thus helping them better manage the production process in the upstream of the entire supply chain.

It is understood that DHL has established a complete network coverage in the Asia Pacific region, and will continue to play the global strength of DHL in the fashion logistics industry in the region. The company has the leading solution in the same industry, which includes value-added services such as warehousing, distribution, transportation, customs declaration and packaging. It can provide real point-to-point services to customers anywhere in the world and ensure the visibility of the entire supply chain. In addition, in order to further enhance its competitiveness, DHL launched door-to-door solutions to meet the needs of customers in the rapidly developing fashion and garment industry. This service combines multiple suppliers of goods into one vote cargo to meet the needs of international shipping and local clearance, and then split the goods merged into a number of retailers or domestic customers outside China.
