In recent years, China's e-commerce industry growth is a explosion, a nationwide business enterprise logistics competition quietly began. From the beginning of leasing small warehouses, to the self-built distribution system and even large logistics centers. The logistics and warehousing industry, which is the pioneer of electronic commerce, has another big development seems to be coming soon. Including Amazon, Jingdong, Taobao, when, where guests, suning and other major online retailers have joined the Self-built logistics. such as catwalk, Massamasso, etc. Some of the smaller online retail enterprises are expected to achieve rapid growth, also early layout of their own logistics warehousing.
What causes the electric Business Enterprise "collective madness" behind? What is the development trend of China's logistics and warehousing real estate?
A time of logistics and warehousing investment frenzy, a lot of electric business enterprises said that the current warehouse leasing difficulties in some key cities, and even face "a library difficult to seek" situation.
Research on the reason of "one library is difficult to find" in logistics warehousing
The efficient supply of warehouses in China is insufficient and rents are rising. "National Storage Industry Development Index" data show that 2010 the national General Warehouse demand area of 701 million square meters, there is a warehouse area of only 550 million square meters, the national warehouse supply and demand index of 0.785, China's general warehouse in general in short supply situation. And the contradiction between supply and demand is especially significant in some logistics center cities, such as Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, the warehouse vacancy rate is very low in recent years, rents have risen rapidly, and e-commerce enterprises in the current growth and competition into the white-hot stage, and logistics is a key link in the competition, advance layout of the logistics system can not be eliminated in this round of competition.
Most warehouse facilities are obsolete and do not meet the requirements of modern business enterprises
At present, the new demand for warehousing logistics in China mainly comes from home appliances, e-commerce retailer and third party logistics enterprises, and these enterprises ' warehousing and distribution is a large part of the business model, the requirements of warehousing logistics more personalized. For example, the need for docking enterprise internal IT systems, out of the library, warehousing is much more complex than the business-to-business model. A wide variety of goods, relying on artificial to select, so the single layer is not high enough, and the original standardized storage is often considered large industrial supplies and therefore the layer is too high. The increase of labor cost will make the labor-intensive warehousing and distribution industry turn towards the automation system, will also put forward higher requirements for the logistics facilities. The monomer area is too small. At present, China's storage facilities for more than 130,000 square meters, with the increase of the geometrical level of the order quantity of the electric business enterprise, and the large-scale logistics distribution center can realize the scale effect, reduce the logistics cost greatly, the electric business enterprise to the logistics storage monomer area increases correspondingly, such as Jing Dong this time in Shanghai established "Asia One" logistics center, The total area reaches 240,000 square meters. In addition, due to the increasingly scarce land and low prices, the current warehousing logistics to the development trend of the air, three-dimensional warehouse market demand, and in the existing warehouses, only 20% are in recent years the construction of the three-dimensional warehouse, 80% for different periods of the construction of the square Library and building library. As a result, companies are starting to fight for the initiative in situations where it is difficult to rent enough storage facilities for a business.
Third party logistics lags behind
Third-party logistics is a third-party professional enterprise to bear the logistics activities of enterprise logistics forms. Adopting the third party logistics can reduce the logistics cost and improve the logistics efficiency, meanwhile, the third party logistics has become the mainstream trend of the developed countries ' logistics. China's modern logistics industry started in the late 1990s, the third party logistics is currently small, professional is not strong enough to meet the needs of enterprises. According to statistics, the European and American Industrial enterprises use a third party logistics enterprise ratio of more than 60%, Japan even reached 80%, and our country this proportion less than 40%. E-commerce enterprises have high requirements for distribution, such as the final delivery of the consumer industry is called last mail, which is critical to the user experience. Many enterprises in the ' last kilometer ' basic are equipped with their own professional distribution personnel. Therefore, the future cooperation with third party logistics is mostly confined to the transportation between cities.
