Under the epidemic situation, e-commerce logistics has turned "danger" into "opportunity", and there are still four difficulties behind tasting the "fat"

     "Don't put eggs in one basket", this is one of the hot topics in cross-border circles this year. This means that cross-border sellers should not devote all their energy to a single market. Multi-channel layout and multi-market investment are the key to effectively improving market anti-risk capabilities.

    When the epidemic hits Europe and the United States, pay attention to emerging markets and regions, including Southeast Asia, Japan, South Korea, and South Africa, which are becoming more and more new opportunities and new growth points for cross-border sellers. Among them, the Indonesian e-commerce logistics market in Southeast Asia is developing in full swing. Online payment and "contactless economy" are recognized by many local consumers, and the huge population base, young people account for one-third of the total population. The epidemic has also prompted many Indonesian consumers to embrace online shopping, ushering in more opportunities and challenges for cross-border sellers to go overseas.

     However, Indonesia's e-commerce logistics is still booming, showing the following new trends:

1. The transaction volume of Indonesia's e-commerce platform has risen sharply, and the sales of daily necessities and 3C electronics have soared. Affected by the epidemic and the large-scale social quarantine policy, some offline supermarkets were forced to press the pause button, and consumers turned to online shopping malls.

2. Consumers' recognition of electronic payments has increased, which has contributed to the increase in online banking transactions. For a long period of time in the past, cash rebates have been the main way for Indonesian mobile payment platforms to attract local consumers. According to the latest report of Indonesian market research company Ipsos, 68% of Indonesian consumers use electronic payment mainly because of its "convenience", and some consumers choose electronic wallets for security reasons. Professionals believe: "After the epidemic, it is expected that the interaction between customers and banks will be reduced in the future, and mobile payment technology to meet the needs of users is more popular."

3. Indonesian small and medium-sized enterprises actively participate in e-commerce activities. “Although Internet coverage in major cities such as Jakarta, Indonesia is relatively high, Indonesian Internet users are mainly concentrated on the user side rather than on the merchant side. Most Indonesian small and medium-sized enterprises are mainly engaged in physical operations.” Professionals observed that during the epidemic, Indonesian small and medium-sized enterprises The sales of enterprises have fallen by more than half year-on-year. Facing the predicament of a sharp decline in offline sales, many small and medium-sized enterprises have turned their attention to online, and the Indonesian government and large enterprises are also actively helping Indonesian small and medium-sized enterprises to transform.

      The rapid growth of e-commerce business has also brought about the growth of Thai express and Thai e-commerce logistics business. Preliminary estimates indicate that the total market volume of Thailand's logistics industry is no less than 28 billion baht, and it is growing at a rate of 10-20%. Thailand’s cargo transportation can be divided into two categories. One is bulk logistics, which is similar to B2B business; the other is B2C and C2C express delivery services. The growth rate of this business area is faster. Among them, the largest market share is still Thailand post office, but there are also new players such as Kerry and SCG Express entering the market.

      Thai e-commerce logistics companies should make timely senior adjustments to cope with the fiercer market competition in the future, because more capital and groups will enter the field in the future. These companies have both domestic and foreign companies.

     Due to the large number of islands in the Philippines, in such a disadvantaged geographical environment, local logistics and distribution costs in the Philippines are relatively high, with low timeliness, inconvenience and serious lack of efficiency. The largest local logistics company in the Philippines is: Philippine e-commerce logistics company, which has a market share of 36% in the third-party express service sector of e-commerce.

  In recent years, although the size of the logistics market in the Philippines has continued to expand, the e-commerce logistics industry in the Philippines is still relatively fragmented and basically dominated by foreign companies. Compared with foreign countries, the scale of local logistics companies in the Philippines is relatively small.

With the development of e-commerce, the demand for last-mile delivery services in many cities in the Philippines is increasing. Regarding logistics, the Philippines still has a lot of room for improvement.
