Cainiao's Vice President and General Manager of the Logistics Technology Business Unit, Bi Jianghua, stated that 2026 is poised to be a breakout year for logistics technology. While deepening its presence in the Chinese market, Cainiao will maintain its expansion into emerging markets such as Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and South America. Concurrently, the company will intensify its investments in key, mature markets including Japan, South Korea, the United States, and Europe, with the goal of continuously building a global, sustainable delivery and after-sales service system.
Using the Japanese market as an example, Bi Jianghua noted that after multiple research trips and studies, it is clear that Japan's fast-moving consumer goods retail sector is entering a peak period for logistics equipment upgrades. Although the Japanese market already possesses mature automation technologies, Cainiao holds advantages in the R&D and application of new technologies like artificial intelligence and robotics, as well as in logistics scenario operations. Products such as logistics robots are considered competitive in the Japanese market. Cainiao has already established an office in Japan to build robust local delivery and after-sales capabilities, ensuring the provision of high-quality and reliable logistics technology products and services.
It is reported that Cainiao continues to strategically invest in digital and automated R&D. By combining this with its logistics operational experience, the company has developed a portfolio of supply chain logistics technology products that are both technologically advanced and highly applicable to real-world scenarios. To date, Cainiao's logistics technology products have been deployed in 27 countries and regions worldwide, with the number of global cooperative projects exceeding 800.
