AI Adoption in China's Logistics Sector Surpasses 37 Percent, Industry Data Shows
Industry association figures show AI adoption across China's logistics and supply chain sector above 37 percent, led by transportation at 78 percent.
Artificial intelligence adoption in China's logistics and supply chain sector has surpassed 37 percent, according to figures from the China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing cited by China Daily on 9 November. By application area, adoption reached 78 percent in transportation, 52.73 percent in safety and compliance, and 47.27 percent in smart warehousing.
Among individual operators, YTO Express says it runs more than 100 intelligent agents for route optimisation, dispatch analysis and customer service, alongside 28 digital employees. JD Logistics uses AI-powered robotic arms at its sorting centres with a claimed tracking accuracy of 99.9 percent, while SF Express applies sales forecasting to position inventory closer to consumers.
The figures originate from an industry association survey rather than an official regulatory report, and the operator-specific performance numbers are company claims.
