Brief on the ASEAN Road Freight Transport Market

The ASEAN Road Freight Transport Market is estimated to grow with a compounded annual growth rate of about xx% during the forecast period of 2023-2028.

  • Economic data suggest that trade across Asia will grow in the upcoming years as demand is boosted by post-Covid-19 recovery. The demand for contract logistics, forwarding, haulage, and the parcel supply chain will be directly impacted by this.
  • In the months and years to come, new trade agreements and favourable rules are expected to promote intra-Asian trade in a number of ways. The easing of company regulations and the lowering of trade barriers will promote commerce and economic growth. Since most of Asia is connected by land, many clients find trucking services to be an affordable and effective option.
  • Due to consumer expenditure on e-commerce and the need for door-to-door logistics services, cross-border trucking in Southeast Asia and from ASEAN to other regions of Asia is still increasing. Now accounting for about one-third of ASEAN’s logistics market, road freight is predicted to increase faster than other regions’ use of trucking logistics services over the next ten years.
  • For DHL, one of the biggest logistics firms in the world, the expansion of the local e-commerce market has driven up demand for cross-border shipping. As manufacturing recovers and businesses regionalize and diversify their supply chains, the economic growth in many of Southeast Asia’s top economies has resumed, fueling the anticipated recovery. Similar predictions are made for Malaysia, where this year’s market is anticipated to have a 6% little economic resurgence.

ASEAN Turning into a Logistics Hub

  • ASEAN has developed into a global centre for manufacturing over the past 20 years because to consistently rising investment flows and GDP development. The main factors driving foreign companies to further expand their production into ASEAN today are rising labour costs, supply chain issues, and geopolitical tensions, with Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam leading as key prospects in the region.
  • Manufacturing clusters that are well-established already exist in the region. This includes semiconductors, biopharmaceuticals, and aerospace components in Singapore; electronics in Malaysia and Vietnam; vehicles and packaged foods in Thailand; machinery and petrochemicals in Indonesia; packaged foods and garments in the Philippines. Manufacturers looking for cheap labor have long looked to Southeast Asia’s growing countries, while Singapore has historically been a centre for high-value R&D-intensive businesses and trade-supporting services like finance and logistics.
  • Since it combines low prices, specialized skills, and largely unrestricted access to both Western and Asian markets, Southeast Asia is an excellent choice for new industrial locations. The ASEAN economies of Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Thailand are among of the most cost-competitive in the world when it comes to pay rates that have been adjusted for productivity. Ecosystems are also developing to serve sectors of the economy other than those seeking labor arbitrage. For instance, Samsung listed a number of factors for choosing Vietnam as a new manufacturing hub in the area, including the country’s young, educated workforce, extensive internet access, domestic venture capital ecosystem, and government incentives and support.
  • The ASEAN’s participation in extra-regional trade agreements has enhanced its reputation as a centre of global industry. For instance, the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) sees ASEAN as an unified market and industry hub. Meanwhile, large-scale trade agreements like the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) are steps towards a more comprehensive Free Trade Area of the Asia-Pacific (FTAAP), which act as a valuable intergovernmental forum on free trade.
