Japan Same Day Delivery Industry Overview
The same-day delivery market in Japan is relatively concentrated, with Yusen Logistics, Hitachi Transport System, and Kuehne Nagel (global transport and logistics company based in Schindellegi, Switzerland) as its major players, accompanied by emerging small start-ups in the delivery market. The changes in the logistics industry in terms of autonomous machines and vehicles are aiming at eliminating the constraints laid by the aging population and shortage of labor, along with erasing the carbon footprint of the sector from the economy.
The segments like online food and pharmaceutical companies are finding, to their delight, that customers are predatory for such services. Industry growth rates have skyrocketed as millions of customers have shown themselves more than willing to have food delivered at the press of a button. With the aging population, the Japanese people are also demanding the delivery of medical supplements to their homes. The development in these segments, along with the rising consumer expectations for last-mile logistics, is driving the demand for same-day delivery logistics in Japan.
