CCTV News: The China Federation of Logistics and Procurement officially released the "China Logistics Technology Development Report 2024" at the 2025 Logistics Technology Conference held in Huzhou, Zhejiang on February 27. According to the report, my country's logistics industry has developed rapidly in recent years, and logistics technology and equipment have also ushered in major opportunities. Low-altitude economy and logistics technology, generative artificial intelligence and large-model technology have become annual logistics hotspot technologies.
According to the report, in the past decade, my country's total social logistics volume has exceeded 213.5 trillion yuan in 2014 to 360 trillion yuan in 2024, and has been firmly in the world's largest logistics market for many years. The innovative development of logistics technology and equipment has played a key role. Especially in recent years, my country's logistics technology innovation level has been continuously improved, and intelligent equipment such as automatic guided vehicles, robots, and automated warehousing have gradually become popular. Unmanned warehouses, drones, unmanned vehicles, and intelligent management systems have become standard equipment in the industry.
Among them, the gradual maturity of unmanned driving technology has brought revolutionary changes to logistics and transportation. The driverless market is experiencing rapid growth, with broad market prospects and development space not only in China, but also on a global scale. It is expected that this year, the world will usher in the development opportunity of large-scale industrialization of driverless cars.
Ma Zengrong, vice president and secretary-general of the China Federation of Logistics and Procurement, said that in recent years, the level of automation and digitalization of my country's logistics industry has been significantly improved. In accordance with the central government's requirements to accelerate the formation of new quality productivity, the logistics industry should not only deeply integrate with logistics scenarios through intelligent warehousing, unmanned distribution, low-altitude logistics, digital twins and other technologies, but also pay attention to the development and application of artificial intelligence large-model logistics technology in the entire supply chain process and the overall industrial chain to achieve technological efficiency and technical cost reduction.
At present, my country's terminal unmanned delivery market is in a stage of rapid development, and the application scenarios of unmanned delivery vehicles are also constantly expanding, from the initial express delivery to multiple fields such as fresh food takeaway, supermarket retail, etc.
In addition, the annual logistics hotspot technologies summarized by the report include low-altitude economy and logistics technology, generative artificial intelligence and big model technology, 5G technology, Beidou technology, etc. Among them, low-altitude economy and logistics technology have opened up new airspace for transportation, making logistics more efficient, fast, three-dimensional and diverse. Generative artificial intelligence and large-model technology provide intelligent support for logistics decisions, making logistics more intelligent and accurate.
