China Federation of Logistics & Purchasing: The ratio of total social logistics costs to GDP will decrease to 13.9% by 2025.

The China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing officially released the “China Logistics Technology Development Report (2025)” today (the 12th) at the 2026 Logistics Technology Conference held in Huzhou, Zhejiang. According to the report, in 2025, hotspots in China’s logistics technology development emerged frequently: new types of logistics equipment achieved large-scale deployment, and especially “AI+” was deeply integrated into logistics. While improving logistics operating efficiency, it also effectively helped reduce logistics costs for the entire society. In 2025, the scale of China’s logistics demand steadily expanded, with the structure continuously optimized. As mobile collaborative robots, intelligent sorting equipment, and unmanned delivery—among other new logistics technologies—were deployed at scale, the logistics sector’s supporting effectiveness for economic development continued to strengthen, and logistics efficiency kept improving. In 2025, the ratio of total social logistics costs to domestic production value fell to 13.9%, the lowest level on record; that is, the logistics costs required to achieve a unit of domestic production value declined.
