At 23:18:09 on November 11, the logistics order volume of tmall double 11 in 2018 exceeded the 1 billion mark, with a strong growth of more than 3800 times over the past decade. This is a historic leap. As early as 2017, Ma Yun has repeatedly said that China will soon face the challenge of 1 billion packages a day, and Ma Yun's prediction will come true!
"We will soon face one billion packages a day". At the 2017 global smart logistics summit, Ma Yun, chairman of Alibaba Group's board of directors, presciently proposed "a small goal". He repeatedly said that China will soon face the challenge of 1 billion packages a day. Although few people believed at that time, this day will come soon. Moreover, the package peak volume of double 11 will become the average daily volume in the next 8 years and 10 years.
Zhang Yong, chief executive of Alibaba group, also said before that China has achieved 1 billion packages a week, and will 1 billion packages a day be far away. 'in the near future, you will surely see 1 billion packages a day, which will happen peacefully every day. He boldly predicted that the word "package" would be redefined in the future.
Today, Ma Yun and Zhang Yong's 1 billion predictions come true. In the 11th decade of tmall global, logistics orders started from 260000, increased by more than 3800 times, striding across the historic 1 billion pass, creating a new world record and a new miracle in the industry. This also marks that the backbone network of rookie intelligent logistics has officially entered a new era of 1 billion.
One billion logistics orders are roughly equivalent to 20 days of packages in the US and 4 months in the UK. But in China, only tmall double 11 is needed to create this number. 1 billion is also equivalent to the express business volume of China in 2006. These parcels are connected long enough to circle the earth's equator more than seven times.
The rapid growth of tmall's double 11 logistics orders year after year is also the profile of China's digital economic development. Behind the one billion a day figure is the commercial Olympic Games participated by global brand businesses and consumers, and a strong demonstration of China's commercial vitality and consumer confidence.
One billion logistics orders a day is also a milestone for the global logistics industry to work closely together. During tmall double 11, more than 100 logistics partners and rookies in the world fought side by side. Postal and express companies in nearly 30 countries have directly linked logistics details with rookie. Warehouses in nearly 20 countries use rookie ecological warehouse systems, and have been upgraded digitally. The world's postal service employs 200000 couriers to provide special guarantee for tmall double 11. The customs of Malaysia, Thailand and other countries improved the process according to the new standards, and the average customs clearance speed was 3-5 days ahead of schedule.
One billion logistics orders a day is a new coordinate for the rapid development of China's logistics industry. China's private express was founded in 1993, when the country's one-day express business volume was only 60000. From 60000 yuan a day to 1 billion yuan a day, China Express has gone through a magnificent 25 years, and has become a black horse of the national economy and a business card of reform and opening up.
Today's peak is tomorrow's normal. From one billion packages a day to one billion packages a day in the future, no logistics enterprise can undertake it alone. It is inevitable to work together to build a national intelligent logistics backbone network.
Industry insiders believe that one billion packages are the charge of the intelligent logistics backbone network. The whole industry is closely cooperating, connecting logistics elements together, forming a smart, collaborative, green and globalization oriented intelligent logistics backbone network, accelerating the realization of "24 hours nationwide, 72 hours globally".
