Growth in trade between India and China is notably driving the market growth. In the emerging global economy, India-China trade growth saw global attention as these two countries are the primary markets. For instance, in H1 2022, China's exports to India increased by USD 57.51 billion, up by 34.5%, as compared to H1 2021. As compared to 2021, trade between India and China stood at USD 67.08 billion in H1 2022, which increased by 16.5%. To ensure good trade flow, the countries themselves create barrier flexibility. For instance, the Chinese government shows interest in India's high-speed rail projects and provides Chinese expertise to Indian universities for support and development. These initiatives are anticipated to bring a smooth trade relationship between India and China which may positively impact the Asian Pacific (APAC) logistics market growth.
Moreover, expanding trade in both developing countries will pave the way for the growth of the logistics and warehousing market. Because of the rapid growth in trade between India and China, The air cargo sector has a higher advantage. The smooth growth of air cargo relies on different external factors such as political support, expanded productivity via technological diffusion, and flexible supply chain barriers. Therefore, the rising trade between India and China will fuel the growth of the market in focus during the forecast period.
The use of blockchain with logistics is an emerging trend shaping the market growth. Blockchain technology is a decentralized distributed network. Blockchain technology comprises encrypted information and a pointer for the previous block, which makes it hard to change the data without modifying the whole chain. They store the record of stakeholders involved in the process and the specific details of the products associated with each movement as the blocks are linked together. Also, it enhances security as each transaction is recorded and validated by an independent third party. Vendors offering transport and logistics services are partnering with blockchain technology providers to develop platforms that will increase security and transparency in the logistics industry due to the numerous benefits of blockchain technology.
In addition, blockchain will also improve the efficiency of business operations in the trucking industry by lowering the requirement for checking business transactions and improving visibility by assuring that capacity planning operates smoothly which can largely contribute to the APAC - logistics market growth. Such factors augment the adoption of blockchain technology in the transportation and logistics industry in APAC across different countries, such as India, China, and Australia, thereby propelling the growth of the logistics market in the region during the forecast period.
The threat of entry of real estate players in the warehousing sector is a significant challenge hindering market growth. The growing e-commerce in the region is a strong accelerating agent for the growth of warehousing. The rising demand from e-commerce, along with government initiatives like the implementation of goods and service tax, will improve trade. This will expand the need for warehousing in APAC. Such initiatives make numerous regional and unorganized players enter the warehousing sector. Many real estate players have also entered into warehousing in recent times. They are lending the unoccupied space for warehousing at a lower rate. Such factors are a major threat to the logistics players that are providing warehousing services.
For example, a Singapore-based real estate player, Assetz Property, one of the leading real estate players in South Asia, invested around USD100 million in setting up warehouses across South Asia, in India. The incorporation of real estate players in warehousing operations is anticipated to rise in the future which may negatively impact the Asia Pacific logistics market growth. Therefore, the threat of entry of real estate players in warehousing is a major challenge that is expected to impede the market growth during the forecast period.
