Hong Kong Logistics Industry Overview
The Hong Kong freight and logistics market is fairly fragmented, with the top five to ten players accounting for a significant market share. The logistics sector in the country is made up of both domestic and international enterprises. International companies initially struggled against local companies; however, the situation is changing. Some prominent players in the market include DHL, DB Schenker, Kerry Logistics, OOCL Logistics, and SF Express. The demand for integrated and specialized logistics solutions is rising. The logistics companies in the country are expected to adopt transport and warehouse management systems, big data, and analytics to remain competitive.
Major players in the market are implementing various strategies, such as strategic alliances, partnerships, mergers and acquisitions, geographical expansion, and product/service launches, to remain competitive in the market. For instance, in July 2022, Scan Global Logistics (SGL), a logistics company with headquarters in Copenhagen, acquired Sea-Air Logistics (SAL), a Hong Kong-based company, to expand its presence in China and Hong Kong and increase penetration in industries like consumer electronics, technology, pharma, and healthcare. Further, SGL will add more than 500 staff in China and expand its market share on the intra-Asia, Far-East Westbound, and Trans-Pacific Eastbound trade lanes.
