What is the development trend of cross-border e-commerce overseas warehousing

Transnational logistics has always been a great weakness of cross-border e-commerce. Although cross-border e-commerce has developed rapidly in recent years, information about warehouse explosion, delay, embargo, etc. has been frequently spread in logistics, and more and more information about cross-border logistics has been spread. Although the logistics industry has been committed to the development of various new logistics channels, it is unable to meet the growing shipment volume and increasing transportation requirements of cross-border e-commerce. Accelerating the development of cross-border logistics industry, improving the legal mechanism, establishing strategic alliances and establishing overseas warehouses are the countermeasures to accelerate the development of cross-border logistics industry.

Now the developed countries in Europe and the United States have done a very mature job in overseas warehouses. Many sellers have arranged overseas warehouses in small language countries, which is a strategic cross-border warehouse. With the rapid development of China's cross-border export e-commerce, overseas warehousing has also undergone significant changes. Overseas warehousing is becoming an increasingly important competitive "weight" in China's cross-border e-commerce industry, especially in the field of overseas e-commerce.

The cross-border import e-commerce that lays out overseas warehouses are mainly concentrated in Hong Kong, China, the United States, Australia, Japan and South Korea. After the implementation of the new policy on overseas warehouses, overseas warehouses in Hong Kong, China, Japan and South Korea, and Southeast Asia will be sought after. Strong cross-border e-commerce enterprises can set up overseas warehouses based on this, while small and medium-sized cross-border e-commerce enterprises can choose to cooperate with logistics companies.

For cross-border e-commerce sellers at present, there are generally three options for entering overseas warehouses. One is to enter overseas warehouses on Amazon, eBay and other platforms; Second, self built overseas warehouses; Third, through third-party cross-border warehousing companies. At present, the number and area of the above three overseas warehouses are increasing. In addition, domestic giants such as Shunfeng and Yunda have also joined the competition for the cross-border logistics market. What is the development trend of overseas warehouses of transnational e-commerce companies?

1. The development trend of the three modernizations of society.

The costs of overseas warehouse receipts are mainly divided into three parts: freight and customs clearance costs in the first transportation, storage costs and sorting, packaging and other operating costs in warehouse management, and local transportation costs for local delivery. In the future, in order to control costs, common goods gathering and joint distribution will be widely used in the overseas warehouse logistics model, which will greatly reduce the cost increase caused by decentralized orders and decentralized transportation.

That is to say, the third-party overseas warehouse will be the mainstream in the future, but at present, 45% of the third-party overseas warehouse business is still weak. Because it is difficult to match the needs of both parties, the seller on one side has been looking for overseas warehouses, and the overseas warehouse on the other side has been waiting for businesses, so that whoever can solve the personalized demands of businesses can stand out from them.

2. Cross border e-commerce dominates the layout of overseas warehouses.

From the first "overseas warehouse" in 2016, to 2017, the State Council clearly required to expand cross-border e-commerce and build a number of export "overseas warehouses". In addition, cross-border e-commerce sellers are also gradually transitioning from C2C to B2C, and the proportion of B2C mode exceeded C2C mode for the first time in 2016. At present, B2B export overseas warehouse mode is vigorously developed.

This situation has brought an opportunity for overseas warehouse to develop at a high speed, which also shows the advantages of e-commerce all the time. The development direction of overseas warehouse is still mainly e-commerce. When Made in China further develops to the world, the layout of overseas warehouses should also closely follow the changes in market demand and consumption channels, and enter more countries and regions.

3. The threshold for overseas warehouses has been raised.

After nearly 20 years of development, overseas warehouses have become increasingly mature. At the beginning, as long as there is an overseas warehouse, it is easy to enter; Later, with the overseas warehouse and the overseas warehouse management system, we can do a good job, because the overseas system can help overseas warehouse owners with different business models to achieve efficient and refined logistics operations, and information interconnection with overseas logistics channels; But now we need not only a logistics and tax system, but also a logistics and tax system to help operators of different overseas logistics modes achieve efficient and accurate logistics operation management, and to connect with e-commerce platforms and overseas logistics channels. But now we need not only a logistics and tax system, but also a logistics and tax system, so that we can continue to pay bills. In addition, the current overseas warehouses have grown up together with a number of cross-border e-commerce enterprises. It is unlikely that the overseas warehouses will be replaced due to minor problems.

The above three points are the development trend of cross-border e-commerce overseas warehouses. "Overseas warehouse" is a breakthrough of cross-border e-commerce, which can solve many problems of traditional cross-border logistics, such as timeliness, cost, customs clearance, localization, etc., and with the rapid development of cross-border e-commerce, the market scale is growing. It can be said that the overseas warehouse for cross-border e-commerce logistics services shows an undeniable conclusion from both the service capacity and the actual trend: overseas warehouse is the difficulty of cross-border e-commerce development.
