Goods is the abbreviation of international freight forwarding, is the product of commodity circulation in international trade, is an important part of international trade。According to statistics, 70%-80% of the world's freight is handled by international freight companies。
Before reform and opening up, the international freight forwarding industry in our country was tightly supervised and developed behind。With the reform and opening up, the government gradually liberalized the management of international freight forwarding, and the international freight forwarding industry ushered in rapid development。
What is the future trend of crossing the new chapter of international freight？
According to the "China International Freight forwarding Market Outlook and Investment Strategy Analysis Report" released by the Prospect Industry Research Institute, as of the end of 2014, the international freight forwarding industry has 2.5 million employees and a strong momentum of development。At the same time, the promotion of the "Belt and Road" initiative and the continuous development of cross-border e-commerce have also provided sufficient development impetus for the growth of the international freight forwarding industry, and the prospects are very broad。
But the international freight forwarding industry itself also has certain limitations。As a pure service industry, international freight forwarding is closely related to service quality, geographical location, network and historical evolution, resulting in more small and medium-sized freight forwarding companies and fewer large freight forwarding companies, which is not conducive to the further development of the industry。
The international freight forwarding is a competitive and cooperative industry。For international freight forwarding enterprises, different countries, regions and enterprises need to realize business complementarity, information sharing and freight network sharing, so as to continue to develop and grow。
Based on this background, China's international trade in goods will appear the following four trends。
First, large-scale application of information technology to improve the scope and efficiency of cooperation and sharing。By using modern information technology, logistics network and intangible information network can be integrated。
Second, the industrial chain continues to extend。Strong freight forwarding enterprises will actively expand logistics transportation, supply chain management consulting services and other businesses to improve competitiveness。
Third, specialization, refinement, and specificity have been continuously strengthened。Nowadays, with the increasingly fierce market competition, how to stand out has become the primary consideration for many small and medium-sized international freight forwarding enterprises。It is the general trend to strengthen specialization, refinement and peculiarity。
Fourth, accelerate integration。From the development of the international freight forwarding industry so far, the trend has gradually integrated, especially the regional concept, social relations and other similar enterprises。After accelerated integration, the further development of the international freight forwarding industry will be more perfect。
