DHL Supply Chain, DB Schenker and Ceva head the top 10 APAC traditional logistics companies, with project44, vCargo and Freightwalla topping new-tech providers

The APAC region is at the forefront of the global e-commerce market. It has a large, young tech-savvy population and an ever-growing ecosystem of SMEs that are embracing e-commerce to maximise business opportunities. Contract logistics offers such businesses advanced tech solutions, reduced risk, and scalability.

The region has also become a driving force in supply chain transformation, with a great deal of capital being sunk into the development of new-generation logistics facilities.

The rapid growth of e-commerce has also resulted in high demand for warehousing space, and operators are investing heavily in secure warehouses in strategic locations that allow them to reduce delivery times.

The prominent players in the market are the traditional logistics giants, including DHL, DB Schenker, Ceva Logistics, Kuehne + Nagel, DSV, and Geodis.

But there are differentiated products and services for those looking for logistics solutions in the APAC region, and so a number of digital logistics solutions providers, such as project44 and Freightwalla, have also been included.

Top APAC logistics firms:

1. DHL Supply Chain

DHL Supply Chain is the biggest contract logistics specialist on the planet, combining global and local knowledge to create customised logistics solutions covering warehousing, transportation and integrated services. DHL Supply Chain provides freight transportation and logistic services, offering export, import, warehousing, consulting, air freight, ocean freight, and other transportation services.

In May 2020 DHL Supply Chain announced a push for growth in the automotive, engineering and manufacturing sectors in Asia Pacific.

2. DB Schenker

Schenker is a German logistics company, and a subsidiary of Deutsche Bahn, the German railway company. It is responsible for land, sea, and air transport and contract logistics.

3. Ceva Logistics

4. Geodis

The transportation of goods is conducted via its global network of partners and subcontractors.

DSV’s operations are split into three divisions: air and sea freight, road transportation and 3PL solutions.
