The LogiMAT & LogiFOOD Southeast Asia 2025 International Exhibition, recently held in Bangkok, Thailand, signals a strong commitment by the ASEAN logistics sector to invest heavily in technology and digital transformation.
I. Regional Digital Transformation Momentum and Objectives
The ASEAN logistics industry is entering the digital era with the participation of over 250 enterprises from 10 countries. The event highlights:
- Technology Investment Trend: Businesses are boosting investment in advanced software, automation technology, and modern warehouse management to reduce costs and enhance competitiveness.
- Thailand’s Strategic Role: Thailand is strengthening its position as a strategic logistics hub for the region, pushing supply chains to adapt to the digital age.
- Market Potential: The Southeast Asian region, especially in the food and agriculture sectors, is strongly driving the expansion of the cold chain logistics and e-commerce markets.
II. Cost Challenges and Vietnam’s Position
Despite major advancements, the region still faces cost challenges: Thailand’s logistics costs account for 13.5% of its GDP, with warehousing management costs making up nearly 8.7%. Reducing this ratio requires coordinated solutions focusing on technology and human resources.
Vietnam affirms its position:
- Vietnamese logistics enterprises, particularly in the industrial cold storage sector, are cementing their position in the global supply chain.
- Vietnam is ranked among the top 5 worldwide for the industrial cold sector, thanks to the robust development of its seafood and fresh produce processing industries.
The common goal for the region is international connectivity, enhancing supply chain efficiency, and developing human resources to succeed in the digital era (Source: VOV Online Newspaper).
