The China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing announced today (28th) the logistics operation data from January to October this year. The data shows that in October, the growth rate of total logistics volume stabilized and rebounded, the structural upgrading of logistics demand continued to advance, the logistics demand showed a recovery trend, and the demand for new kinetic energy and new business formats played a significant role.
From January to October, the total amount of social logistics in the country was 1.10 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 278.3%, and the growth rate was 4.9 percentage points higher than that from January to September. The growth rate in October was 1.9 percent, up 0.1 percentage points from September. Judging from the recent trend, the growth rate of total social logistics is picking up month by month.
