J&T Global Express Limited (“J&T Express”), a global logistics service provider, has announced a remarkable surge in parcel volume during the Southeast Asia 9.9 Mega Sales, one of the region’s most anticipated e-commerce shopping festivals. The event, held from 9th to 11th September, attracted millions of consumers seeking promotional deals across various platforms, solidifying the growing impact of e-commerce in the region.
Strengthened by strategic partnerships with key e-commerce platforms and a focused expansion into non-e-commerce sectors, J&T Express witnessed a substantial increase in its parcel delivery volumes during the 9.9 sale. When compared to August 2024, parcel volumes in Southeast Asia surged by over 20%, while year-on-year data revealed that several countries doubled their business volumes compared to the 2023 sales period.
Strategic Expansion Drives Growth
Hou Junyi, Vice President of J&T Express, commented on the company’s growth, stating, “Our robust performance during the 9.9 mega sale reflects the enormous growth potential of Southeast Asia’s e-commerce market and demonstrates J&T’s continued service enhancements in the region. Beyond e-commerce, we are expanding into new sectors, offering reliable and efficient logistics solutions to a broader range of clients. We remain committed to strengthening our network and investing in operational resources to ensure that we continue delivering exceptional service.”
J&T Express has capitalized on the rising demand for delivery services in Southeast Asia by expanding its client base and diversifying into non-e-commerce sectors. For instance, in Thailand, the company has partnered with major consumer finance brand KTC, Watsons, Apple-authorized reseller SPVI, and Business for Healthy Brand Legacy Corp, managing both online and offline orders. This strategic expansion has allowed J&T Express to increase its presence and cement its reputation as a reliable logistics provider in the region.
In the Philippines, the company partnered with Dito, one of the country’s leading telecom operators, doubling its delivery volumes during this year’s 9.9 mega sale. Such partnerships underscore J&T’s ability to adapt to various sectors while supporting peak sales periods.
Investing in Infrastructure for Future Growth
In response to the 9.9 Mega Sales’ increased demand, J&T Express has ramped up its local investments and network improvements across the Southeast Asian region. By the end of August, the company had upgraded 11 sorting centres and added nine new distribution hubs in the Philippines, enhancing its sorting capacity by 1.5 times. To support the peak season surge, J&T Express also secured 1.5 times additional third-party transport resources, ensuring smooth deliveries and a seamless customer experience.
In Vietnam, J&T Express introduced 400 additional line-haul vehicles to accommodate the increase in parcel volume. The company is also on track to launch its largest sorting centre in Northern Vietnam, which will feature intelligent operational technology and advanced equipment. This fully automated facility aims to achieve a 99.99% accuracy rate in parcel handling, significantly improving operational efficiency and setting a new standard in logistics excellence.
Expanding Presence in Non-E-Commerce Sectors
J&T Express’s commitment to expanding beyond e-commerce was further highlighted by its successful entry into new markets during the 9.9 Mega Sales. As demand for delivery services continues to grow in sectors like telecommunications and healthcare, J&T is well-positioned to leverage its capabilities, offering tailored logistics solutions that meet the unique needs of each client.
As part of its broader strategic plan, J&T is working to enhance its customer service capabilities, ensuring that businesses and consumers alike benefit from a reliable and efficient delivery network. The company’s continued investment in infrastructure, technology, and human resources has allowed it to keep pace with the demands of a rapidly expanding market.
E-commerce Market
The 9.9 Mega Sales have once again proven the strength of Southeast Asia’s e-commerce market, with J&T Express emerging as a leading logistics partner for businesses across the region. By maintaining its focus on operational excellence, expanding its client base, and investing in cutting-edge technologies, J&T Express is poised for continued growth.
As e-commerce and non-e-commerce sectors alike continue to thrive in Southeast Asia, J&T Express remains committed to delivering innovative solutions that meet the evolving needs of its customers. The company’s success during this year’s 9.9 Mega Sales serves as a testament to its adaptability, reliability, and forward-thinking approach to logistics.
