Entering the 2 1 century, the international supply chain formed in the Pearl River Delta has guided China's modern service industry clusters in central cities such as Shenzhen and Guangzhou, and led China's economy to a higher level. At present, the development status of logistics industry in the Pearl River Delta: it has the largest port group in China and is an important base and distribution center for China's import and export trade. A large number of goods are imported and exported through Hong Kong and Macao, and the logistics and transportation of import and export are basically completed by land and sea in the form of containers. Domestic goods distribution accounts for most of the total freight volume, among which light industrial products with high timeliness and medium and high added value account for the main position. At present, the main transportation mode of domestic logistics is road transportation, while railway transportation accounts for a certain proportion. In air freight, postal parcels, express delivery and other logistics services, the value of goods is high and the arrival time is short, forming a courier network. In the whole Pearl River Delta region, the logistics industry has gradually diversified, forming a logistics transportation system with highway and port transportation as the mainstay, supplemented by railway and aviation.
50% of the world's total export goods are concentrated in Southeast Asia and South China, and 50% of them are concentrated in the Pearl River Delta region, relying on Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Zhuhai and other large and medium-sized cities 13, with a solid economic foundation. The following are the advantages of the Pearl River Delta.
First of all, the Pearl River Delta is the largest export processing zone in the world today. Most of the international trade of finished products is completed by container transportation, and the Pearl River Delta naturally becomes the main area of container import and export in China. In 2005, the annual throughput of ports in the Pearl River Delta such as Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Zhuhai and Zhongshan exceeded150,000 TEU, accounting for about half of the country. It is estimated that by 20 10, the import and export volume of foreign trade containers generated by the Pearl River Delta and the total volume of foreign trade containers imported and exported by mainland provinces through ports in the Pearl River Delta region will exceed 30 million TEU. It can be seen that the container output in the Pearl River Delta region and its transportation market scale are quite huge.
Second, the Pearl River Delta has a convenient three-dimensional transportation network and a vast economic hinterland. The Pearl River Delta has formed a criss-crossing expressway network extending in all directions. Guangzhou-Shenzhen, Guangfo, Fokai, Shenshan, He Jiang, Jiang Zhong, Zhu Jiang and other expressway connect the Pearl River Delta as a whole. The railway has built the Heng-Guang double track and the Guang-Zhan, Guang-Mei-Shan, Guang-Shen and Jing-Jiu lines, forming three vertical and one horizontal provincial intranets and three provincial passages running through the north and south and across the east and west, with very convenient traffic. At the same time, the rivers in the Pearl River Delta connect Shenzhen Port, Guangzhou Port and dozens of other small inland ports, providing a very convenient waterway for the Pearl River Delta. Water transport can also extend to Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangxi and other provinces through the Xijiang River. Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Zhuhai have opened more than 100 international and domestic routes, and Hong Kong Airport has taken over the operation of Zhuhai Airport, which has made the advantages of the airport more obvious, and the Pearl River Delta has formed a vast economic hinterland.
Third, enterprises with modern logistics concepts have developed rapidly. With the wide application of information technology and network technology, e-commerce has sprung up rapidly. Traditional storage and transportation enterprises are transforming into modern logistics enterprises relying on the original facilities, customers, business foundation and business network, and some large production enterprise groups have set up special logistics departments. Third-party logistics enterprises with a certain technical level and operating scale have also risen rapidly, and geographic information system, global satellite positioning, wireless communication and network technology have been applied in logistics and supply chain management; Logistics distribution centers have also developed to a certain extent, and state-owned, private and foreign-funded logistics enterprises have developed together.
Constraints include lack of basic information, difficulty in data collection, disunity of standards, disconnection between information and business management, imperfect exchange and sharing mechanism of logistics information, urgent need to improve the informatization level of logistics supervision, and lagging construction of regulations, systems and standards for logistics information service industry.
