The "Opinions" pointed out that manufacturing is the main body of the national economy and an important demand basis for the development of the express delivery industry. The express delivery industry is an important part of the modern service industry and provides an important service guarantee for the development of the manufacturing industry. Promoting the deep integration and development of the express delivery industry and manufacturing industry is of great significance to promote the improvement of manufacturing quality and efficiency, the transformation and upgrading of the express delivery industry, the construction of a manufacturing power and a postal power, and the realization of high-quality economic development.

In recent years, driven by the State Post Office, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, a number of typical cases have emerged in the service manufacturing industry of the express delivery industry, forming several effective models. However, the express service industry's service manufacturing industry is still in its infancy, with problems such as insignificant economies of scale, inadequate integration and development, inadequate service capabilities, and inadequate supporting policies. In order to thoroughly implement the central government's major decision and deployment on promoting the deep integration of advanced manufacturing and modern service industries, and to promote the deep integration and development of the express delivery industry and manufacturing industry, opinions are now put forward.

The "Opinions" proposes that by 2025, the scope of service industry of the express delivery industry will continue to expand, deeply integrate into the manufacturing fields of automobiles, consumer goods, electronic information, biomedicine and other fields, and form a supply chain covering the relevant manufacturing procurement, production, sales and after-sales links. Service capabilities, cultivate a mature model of integrated development such as warehouse and distribution integration, in-factory logistics, international supply chain, and overseas collaboration, and cultivate 100 typical deep integration projects and 20 advanced integration development areas. The ability and level of the express delivery industry to service related manufacturing industries have been significantly improved, and the supply chain organization efficiency and market competitiveness of related manufacturing industries have been significantly improved to achieve mutual benefit, win-win, mutual benefit, and co-existence.

The Opinion proposes the following key tasks:
