Storyline


China's logistics sector showed renewed momentum in March, with activity rebounding across key industries and the official index returning to the expansion territory, according to data released on Thursday.

The Logistics Prosperity Index, published by the China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing, rose to 51.5 percent in March, up 2.2 percentage points from February. A reading above 50 indicates expansion, marking the sector’s return to growth following a seasonal dip during the Spring Festival period.

The rebound was broad-based, with all major sub-indices improving. Rail, waterway, air transport, and courier services saw particularly strong increases, reflecting the rise in demand across both infrastructure-heavy and consumer-facing sectors.

Consumer spending showed continued momentum across both online and offline channels, driving a sharp rise in demand for last-mile delivery in urban areas. The business volume index for postal and express services climbed to 68.2 percent in March, up 1.9 percentage points from the previous month. Air cargo volumes also increased, supported by improved utilization of bellyhold space -- the freight-carrying compartment beneath the passenger cabin.

Forward-looking indicators also pointed to rising optimism. The business activity expectation index climbed to 55.2 percent in March, up 0.8 percentage points from February. Sectors such as air transport and express delivery remained in a high prosperity range, underlining expectations of sustained growth.

"The performance of the Logistics Prosperity Index shows that since early March, China's economy has continued to recover and gain momentum. Production across various industries has been resuming in an orderly manner, supply chain coordination becoming smoother, and overall logistics efficiency improved," said Liu Yuhang, director of the China Logistics Information Center.
