A major enhancement in international shipping services is set to significantly empower e-commerce merchants in China, allowing them to efficiently reach markets in the U.S. and Europe. This expansion is a positive step forward amid the booming demand for cross-border shipping.
The newly extended service, which delivers lightweight and less-urgent packages within two to three business days, was initially available for shipments within the Asia-Pacific region. Now, this efficient solution is opening doors to key global markets.
“With the rapid growth of cross-border e-commerce in China, an increasing number of local e-tailers are eager to expand their business globally,” stated a senior industry executive. Established markets like the U.S. and Europe are pivotal for Chinese exports, making this expansion a strategic move.
China’s online retail sales saw an impressive nearly 10% year-over-year increase in the first half of 2024. This surge in demand is placing pressure on air freight capacity and elevating shipping rates, highlighting the necessity for efficient shipping solutions.
Industry leaders anticipate sustained momentum in the air cargo sector, driven by the growth of e-commerce and low inventory levels. The positive trend is also reflected in significant increases in export volume on the China-to-U.S. trade lane, showcasing a robust supply chain network.
In a competitive market, the expanded service stands out as a cost-effective and efficient option for merchants. With a straightforward rate structure, no residential surcharge, and seamless integration, it offers a compelling solution for e-commerce businesses looking to leverage the growing cross-border trade demand.
