  According to data released by China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing and China Logistics Information Center on the 30th, the logistics market has recovered well. From January to July this year, the total revenue of China's logistics industry reached 7.2 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 6.0%.

It shows that the logistics market has recovered rapidly, and the supply scale and service capacity have risen to normal levels, but the lack of micro vitality still needs attention.

  From January to July this year, the total revenue of the logistics industry reached 7.2 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 6.0%.

From January to July, the decline in freight volume in the whole society narrowed by 0.1 percentage points compared with that in the first six months. However, in various logistics links, the physical volume of railway and water transportation further increased, and the national port cargo throughput turned from decline to increase, an increase of 0.1% year-on-year. The efficient and smooth operation of transportation logistics plays an important role in the overall recovery of logistics.

  From the perspective of the industry, logistics companies have entered the traditional off-season, and the growth rate of business volume and the level of prosperity have declined seasonally.

Key survey data show that from January to July, the logistics business income of key enterprises increased by about 7% year-on-year, and the income profit margin of key logistics enterprises fell by 0.4 percentage points year-on-year.

Among them, the growth rate of the logistics business revenue of supply chain and express delivery companies continued to improve, and the growth rate of revenue from road transportation and air transportation business in the transportation industry was still at a relatively low level, and there was no obvious improvement.

  Service prices in the logistics market rebounded, but the rate of increase continued to diverge.

The shipping market continued to flourish, and the overall coastal bulk shipping fluctuated, and the freight rate rose slightly.

In July, the average value of China's coastal bulk freight index was 1142.33 points, an increase of 8.9% from the previous month; the average value of China's export container comprehensive freight index was 3239.69 points, an increase of 0.4% from the previous month.

The recent repeated epidemics and rising oil prices have pushed up road transportation costs, but the cost transmission effect is low. In July, China's road logistics freight index was 103.2 points, up 0.47% from the previous month.

  Overall, logistics operations have continued to recover since the beginning of this year.

Although affected by seasonal factors such as high temperature and rain in July, the logistics indicators experienced a seasonal correction, but the supply and demand sides of logistics still achieved steady growth, and the logistics operation showed good resilience.

It is worth noting that since the first half of the year, the logistics demand and the economic level have shown a certain volatility, the basis for the recovery of logistics demand still needs to be consolidated, and the activities of market players still need to be further stimulated.
