2015 to See Focus on Domestic Transportation, Warehousing & Manufacturing in China
Analyst Insight: Though logistics in China has historically been resistant to change, improvements in express delivery will have a noticeable impact in 2015 due to the rapid growth of e-commerce, food safety concerns, and government measures.
