In 2016, my country's commerce and logistics continued to maintain a growth trend. Logistics demand is growing steadily. The development of e-commerce logistics, cold chain logistics, automobile logistics and cross-border e-commerce related to people's livelihood is in good shape. The demand for trade and logistics in the field of bulk energy and raw materials continues to be sluggish, and the logistics demand structure continues to be optimized.

While demand is growing, the level of business logistics costs has further declined. On the one hand, the decline in logistics cost is an inevitable result of the development stage. From the perspective of the historical process of developed countries, as the economic structure changes and the proportion of the service industry rises, the growth of the physical volume of logistics required for economic development has appropriately fallen, and the logistics cost The level has dropped, and the current is a critical period for China’s transition from a “scale expansion type” to a “quality benefit type”. As the development between industries and regions becomes more coordinated, the level of social logistics costs has also entered a stable level. There is a drop phase. On the other hand, from the perspective of the development model, China’s logistics development is transforming from "physical distribution" to "integrated logistics". Logistics integration, refined management, and supply chain coordination have gradually developed and improved, greatly improving the efficiency of logistics operations. , The outstanding performance is that the logistics expense rate of commercial and trade enterprises is showing a downward trend, which shows that the efficiency of trade and logistics has improved.

In 2016, my country's key areas of commerce and logistics developed rapidly. The emerging economy represented by e-commerce logistics and cold chain logistics strongly supported the development of people's livelihood and the growth of logistics demand, and also strongly promoted the quality and efficiency of the macro economy. From the perspective of key industries: First, the growth rate of e-commerce logistics continues to be high, the development pattern of the east, middle and west is positively interactive, the development momentum is rural e-commerce leading the country, the demand for internal and external linkages cross-border e-commerce continues to prosper, and the overall operational efficiency is improved Effective promotion. The second is the steady development of cold chain logistics. After years of continuous efforts, the cold chain logistics infrastructure is gradually improving, and the cold chain supply capacity and service level have been greatly improved. It is necessary to vigorously promote the construction of cold chain standardization and improve the effective supply level of the cold chain. Third, the over-limit management will further improve the market environment and force the optimization and upgrading of the automobile logistics market. With the intensified market competition, the road and railway logistics models go hand in hand, and the automobile multimodal transportation is gradually becoming a trend. The fourth is the transformation and upgrading of chain retail to omni-channel. In the face of new business formats and new models that have spawned, traditional chain retail companies actively embrace the Internet, promote online and offline integrated development, enhance omni-channel sales capabilities, realize resource sharing and complementary advantages, and strive to improve Service quality and competitiveness. Fifth, cross-border e-commerce and logistics are in good shape. Sixth, catering logistics demand continues to expand.
