Since the reform and opening up, China's international freight forwarding industry has developed rapidly, playing an important role in expanding foreign trade, attracting foreign investment, expanding employment, and promoting the development of third-party logistics. At present, with the implementation of the "the Belt and Road" strategy and the vigorous development of cross-border e-commerce, the development of international freight forwarding is expected to enter a new chapter.
Before the reform and opening up, China's international freight forwarding industry was strictly controlled and lagged behind. After the reform and opening up, the Chinese government has gradually liberalized the management of international freight forwarding, and the international freight forwarding industry has ushered in rapid development. There are about 2.5 million employees in China's international freight forwarding industry, with a strong development momentum. At the same time, the "the Belt and Road" strategy and the continuous development of cross-border e-commerce have provided sufficient growth momentum for the international freight industry and have broad prospects. However, the international freight forwarding industry itself has certain limitations. On the one hand, the international freight forwarding industry is a pure service industry, which is closely related to service quality, geographical location, interpersonal relationship and past history, resulting in a small number of small and medium-sized freight forwarding companies and large freight forwarding companies, which is not conducive to the further development of the industry.
On the other hand, international freight forwarding is an industry where competition and cooperation coexist. For international freight forwarders, it is necessary to realize business complementarity, information sharing and freight network sharing among different countries, regions and enterprises to enhance their own strength. Under the above background, China's international freight forwarding industry will present the following four major trends.
First, we should apply Internet information technology on a large scale to improve the scope and efficiency of sharing and cooperation. By using modern information technology, the integration of physical logistics network and intangible information network can be realized.
Second, continue to extend the industrial chain. A strong freight forwarder will certainly expand its business to logistics and supply chain management consulting services to improve its competitiveness.
Third, specialization, refinement and specialization have been continuously strengthened. With the increasingly fierce market competition, how to stand out has become the primary consideration of many small and medium-sized international freight forwarders. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen specialization, refinement and specialization. Finally, the speed of integration is accelerated. Since the development of the international freight industry, the integration trend has gradually unfolded, especially for enterprises with similar geographical connections, regional concepts and social relations. After accelerating the integration, the international freight industry can develop better.
