According to iiMedia Research data, the current logistics enterprises' demand for smart logistics mainly includes logistics data, logistics cloud and logistics equipment. In 2018, the smart logistics market has a scale of more than 400 billion yuan. It is expected that by 2025, smart logistics The market size will exceed one trillion.

Ai Media Consulting analysts believe that with the development of technologies such as the Internet of Things and artificial intelligence, as well as higher requirements for logistics in the areas of new retail and smart manufacturing, the scale of the smart logistics market will continue to expand.

Ai Media Consulting analysts believe that the value and status of cold chain logistics in the fields of agricultural products, medicine, and chemicals are becoming more prominent. As the concept of mass consumption changes and food safety awareness increases, the demand for cold chain logistics will continue to grow. By improving logistics efficiency and reducing logistics costs, Smart Logistics promotes the decline of commodity prices and forms a competitive advantage, leading the transformation of the cold chain industry.

According to iiMedia Research, the distribution efficiency of first-tier cities is significantly higher than that of the second- and third-tier cities, but only 8.8% of the netizens surveyed said that the goods can be delivered on the same day. Ai Media Consulting analysts believe that although the logistics delivery time has been significantly shortened compared with the past, there is still room for compression, and there is still a certain distance from the realization of “24-hour national reach”. Smart logistics technology will promote this goal.

In the future, the smart logistics industry will develop in the following directions:

First, smart logistics will be more efficient and intelligent

For a long time, logistics has been a huge constraint on the development of commerce. The efficient operation of logistics is beneficial to the productivity and efficiency of the entire society. Ai Media Consulting analysts believe that smart logistics will force users to strengthen the linkage and integration of all links in the industry chain, profoundly affect the transformation of production and circulation models, and gradually improve the intelligent logistics ecosystem to develop in a more efficient and faster direction. At the same time, with the rapid iteration of various types of intelligent technology, all aspects of logistics are intelligent, and the logistics industry is transformed into an intelligent transformation. It is necessary to be alert to the problem of excessive wisdom, that is, the intelligent logistics of enterprises for smart logistics, which in turn leads to an increase in production costs.

Second, the wisdom of logistics coverage will be more extensive

China's logistics industry is developing rapidly, especially the booming development of the e-commerce industry to accelerate the development of logistics. At present, the application of smart logistics in the vertical field of logistics is still not wide enough, such as the distribution of dangerous goods and other items, and the application of smart logistics is less. Ai Media Consulting analysts believe that the future of smart logistics coverage will become more extensive, and may achieve full coverage of application scenarios, including production links.

Third, the development of smart logistics enterprises is promising

Ai Media Consulting analysts believe that there are many logistics enterprises in China, but the industry concentration is low, the head enterprises only occupy a small part of the market share, while the development of small and medium-sized enterprises is uneven, the development of the logistics industry is more chaotic, and the development of enterprises needs to be integrated. Companies that can take the lead in developing and applying smart logistics technology are expected to stand out.

Fourth, smart logistics will bring reasonable distribution of labor

The application of smart logistics will promote the reshaping of industrial division of labor and resource allocation, including saving human resources and reducing manual decision-making. In all aspects of logistics and vertical areas, the rational distribution of labor brought by smart logistics will become an inevitable trend.
