China's investment in logistics infrastructure grew by 3.9 percent in the first four months of 2025 from the same period of the last year, according to the data released Tuesday by the China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing (CFLP).
Equipment purchase investment played a prominent leading role, with investments in water transport and air transport increased by 26.9 percent and 13.9 percent, respectively, the data showed.
Liu Yuhang, director of the China Logistics Information Center, said the construction of the National Comprehensive Three-dimensional Transportation Network, which includes 700,000 kilometers of railways, highways and high-level sea lanes by 2035, has boosted the investment in logistics infrastructure.
So far, the main skeleton of the mega transportation network has already been completed by 90 percent.
"The investment in infrastructure for the logistics industry, especially relating to the integrated three-dimensional transportation network, has been completed in a relatively high level. The construction of such infrastructure can better ensure the operation of the logistics, which will support the high-quality development of our economy," he said.
The CFLP data showed the overall volume of physical logistics transportation remained stable in the first four months of the year. The amount of goods delivered through railway, highway, joint rail-water way, cargo and mail transportation grew year-on-year by 3.6 percent, 5 percent, 19.1 percent, and 13 percent, respectively.
