As a result, the logistics company has reported compound annual growth rates (CAGR) of 15-20 per cent over the past few years. The high growth is attributed to its large-scale warehousing and storage facilities and better services.
According to market research company Ken Research, Vietnam’s logistics and warehousing market is expected to register a positive CAGR of 13.3 per cent during the period 2018-2022. The market is further expected to be driven by expanding industrial activities, the growing e-commerce industry, newly-developed infrastructure in the country, and continuous investment by the government in the development of logistics infrastructure and consistent economic growth.
Meanwhile, according to a report by Vietnam’s Maritime Administration, Vietnamese seaports received 519 million tonnes of cargo in 2017, up 6 per cent compared to 2016. The seaports were handling 165.7 million tonnes of container cargo alone, up 12 per cent against 2016. This is the third consecutive year that Vietnam recorded high growth in the amount of cargo shipped via seaports, creating additional demand for logistics providers.
Recognising the increasing demand for such services, TBS Logistics Center has started investments to build new facilities. It is developing its sixth warehouse, covering roughly 51,000sq.m. The project has completed 60 per cent of the construction work and is slated to become operational in the second half of the year. The opening of the new warehouse will bring its total warehouse space to 180,000sq.m.
Furthermore, TBS Logistics Center will continue to diversify its logistics services to keep abreast of market trends in Vietnam and the region. In particular, it plans to develop warehouse to suit the demands of the fast-growing e-commerce market.
In fact, TBS Logistics Center is constantly investing to improve and adapt its logistics solutions to serve new customers. The company also applies a customer-centric strategy to ensure service quality and keep close relationships with its current customers.
To make its services more competitive, the company has recently invested in an infrastructure project to improve traffic connectivity from its centre to the My Phuoc-Tan Van expressway. The project will facilitate traffic flow for goods coming in and out of the logistics centre.
It is also expected to cut travel time from TBS Logistics Center to nearby industrial parks (IP) including Song Than IP, Vietnam-Singapore IP, Viet Huong IP, Tan Uyen IP, Amata IP, and many more.
