2014 10 Major Events In The Development Of Express Industry

In 2014, China's express business volume was close to 14 billion (surpassing the US) and its business income was close to 200 billion yuan.

The volume of express business in China exceeds that in the United States, which marks our country.

Bigger.

However, the sales revenue and revenue per unit of express service were very low (as of November 2014, the total revenue was 14.78 yuan / piece), and the average revenue decreased by 1.06 yuan / piece, down 6.7% from the same period last year.

The year-on-year decline in gross domestic product indicates that the domestic express companies have not been strong. It also indicates that the fundamentals of the "price to volume" development model have not changed.

At the same time, the share of domestic express companies in the international express market is very low, and it does not match the second major economic positions of the world. Therefore, the development of express industry in China is still long.

2, Premier Li Keqiang inspected Xi'an SF EXPRESS and Yiwu Zhong Tong express.

Since the development of private express industry in China for the first time in twenty years, the premier has been investigating and inspecting, and never has the legal status to the main force of the express delivery industry recognized by the society. This is a tremendous change for private express enterprises.

At present, the domestic private courier business accounts for more than 80% of the market share, which has made a great contribution to the development of China's express industry, and is also praised by Premier Li Keqiang as a "dark horse" of China's economy.

3, the Executive Council of the State Council decided to further open the domestic express market and promote the fair and orderly competition of domestic and foreign capital.

At present, the market share of private courier business in China is more than 80%. The full opening of domestic parcel delivery market will not affect domestic express enterprises in a short time. Within 10 years, the pattern of domestic market share of domestic express delivery companies will not change; even after 10 years, the share of foreign express enterprises in the domestic express delivery market will hardly be accounted for more than half.

It should be noted that foreign express enterprises enter the domestic parcel express market is an inevitable trend, and the domestic mail (document) express market is also an inevitable trend for foreign investment liberalization.

This is an important part of China's express industry deepening reform and opening up.

However, in the short term, the significance of the policy to the foreign express delivery enterprises in opening up the domestic parcel market is greater than the actual significance.

4, the competition pattern of the express market is further manifested: the brand concentration is improved, and the market concentration is still very low.

Judging from the current competition pattern of the express market, foreign capital is in the leading position in the international express delivery field. SF EXPRESS is in the leading position in the domestic business express and the high-end electricity supplier express market. China Post Express is in the leading position in the state documents, the state-owned enterprises and the high-end electricity supplier express market. Private enterprises, such as three links and one, are in the leading position in the domestic online shopping express market; China post is in a monopolistic position in the cross-border electricity delivery market; the self built express logistics of the large electric business mainly provides services for its own brand.

At the same time, large express companies

Transformation, medium sized express enterprises to specialization pformation, small express companies to personalized pformation has begun to appear.

If SF EXPRESS is pforming to integrated logistics, "landing matching" enterprises are more personalized.

Because China's express enterprises are mainly franchising, franchisees have the right to operate independently, including pricing power, so the actual market concentration is very low. This is also in line with the lower concentration of industries, the more emphasis on price competition, the higher the concentration of industries, the more attention to the rules of service quality competition.

5, railway express electricity supplier special train opens

In the second half of 2014, the China Railway Corporation opened the Railway Express electric business class, which is an innovation in the global railway pportation mode. It is one of the important signs of railway freight pportation reform and marketization pformation and upgrading.

It will change the pattern of express industry based on road pportation and air pportation, and accelerate the formation of three modes of pportation, namely highway, aviation and railway.

Compared with the highway and air pport mode, the Railway Express electric business class has the advantages of fast aging, large pportation scale, controllable pportation time, minimal impact on the climate, low pportation cost and energy saving and environmental protection. It is suitable for the trunk line pportation at a distance of more than 1000 kilometers, and the longer the distance is, the more obvious the advantage is.

However, express delivery has special needs for pport operations. It should be suitable for express delivery and unloading.

This means that the railway into the express electricity supplier pportation also need to carry out technical pformation of the relevant supporting facilities.

6, the promotion of electronic waybill to promote the use of

According to the sample survey, the utilization rate of express waybill was 8%-20% in 2014.

This is due to the application of ERP to enhance the overall competitiveness of the electricity supplier. The application of electronic waybill can greatly enhance the efficiency of delivery.

The application of electronic waybill will have an impact on the application of the traditional express waybill.

At present, the utilization rate of electronic waybill in express delivery enterprises is 8%-20%, and it is expected to reach 30% by the end of 2015.

For express companies, the application of electronic waybill can not only reduce the cost of waybill, but also reduce the labor cost of express operation, improve the efficiency of express delivery (including record and sorting), but the express business will be subject to electricity providers and information technology service providers who provide ERP for the electricity supplier. The cost of applying ERP will be passed on to express companies and increase the cost of express enterprises.

7, rookie network began to integrate express resources.

The competition of express delivery industry has changed from the competition of express service capability to the competition of delivery rights in the upstream of express delivery.

That is, who controls the delivery right of express delivery, who controls the service resources of express delivery, and not only the service ability of express delivery.

The rookie network is preparing to control the delivery rights of Ali's e-commerce online shopping express logistics.

The main means is to provide ERP (electronic waybill) service to the electricity supplier free of charge, to grasp the distribution power of the e-commerce online shopping express, and to make the consumers choose the express service providers by setting up the electricity supplier express service standard, and to control the express delivery enterprises by controlling the delivery rights of the online shopping express, mainly by network purchase.

It will become the OEM of the rookie network.

At the same time, the rookie network launched the "1 hours" express service in Guangdong by using small and medium-sized express enterprises, launched the national 2600 County logistics distribution system, launched strategic cooperation with the card world, launched a one-stop campus end delivery service with Nanjing Yu Mu, so as to reduce the dependence on large Express companies such as three links and one.

8, the last one hundred meters are further diversified.

The last one hundred meters are diversified, and new formats such as express self-service cabinet, convenience store agent, community property agent, campus public distribution platform are promoted and used.

On the basis of traditional express "door to door", convenience stores, community properties, express intelligent self-service cabinets have entered the market, and become a new choice for consumers to send express mail.

In view of the fact that the proportion of online shopping express business is relatively high in China's express delivery business structure, the business volume of the terminal of intelligent self service cabinets in 2014 is growing rapidly.

This is mainly based on its high degree of intelligence, convenience, low operating cost and high security. It is an important part of smart city, Internet of things and people's livelihood project. It is also a beautiful scenic spot in the community and campus.

9, private express companies are deeply involved in international express delivery.

International Business Express has been monopolized by the "four largest international" and postal express delivery, and China Post accounts for about 80% of cross-border e-commerce delivery.

For private express, the international express delivery market space is limited, the main entry point is dedicated express, cross-border electricity supplier express.

The development of international express delivery is divided into three levels: the initial stage is agency cooperation; the intermediate stage is self run plus auxiliary agent; the advanced stage is independent Express brand, and the agent is the subsidiary.

In 2014, many private express investment expanded the international express market, focusing on cross-border electricity providers, mainly in the primary way to expand.

If STO will open the Japanese special line, SF EXPRESS will open the Russian parcel line and European parcel service, SF EXPRESS's "preferred international" sea purchase platform is formally launched, rhyme express European express logistics service center and American Service Center website operate, Yuantong Express launches "Russia Yi mail" special line product, STO will carry out China and Europe express mail pportation trial operation business, Yun Da Express hand in hand Sinop into cross-border electric business field, Shun Feng Hai Tao platform online, SF EXPRESS launches Australian express service, baidu Huitong opens international express delivery business and so on.

Bee net investment is mainly located in four aspects: first, investment in the upstream industry of the express chain; through the collection, integration and integration of express resources and express upstream and downstream resources, to build an express intensive investment platform; the two is to promote the application of express intelligent buffet to the community, campus and public pport places on the platform of bee net; three, to promote three links to cross-border e-commerce; four, with bee net as the leader, centrally purchase various equipment and materials, including trunk pportation vehicles.

Unlike the rookies set up by Ali, the rookie is mainly aimed at ordinary consumers, while the bee net is integrating the express resources to form a scale effect.

Such as centralized procurement of vehicles, equipment, and so on, to reduce operating costs.

But in the express business, there is still competition between the three links.
