According to Mr. Le Duy Hiep, President of the Vietnam Logistics Business Association (VLA), the Industrial Revolution 4.0 has created many special services. The logistics services market of Vietnam and the world is fiercely competitive when e-commerce has grown tremendously with advanced forms of logistics services such as e-logistics, green logistics, … so that the service costs of logistics enterprises in Vietnam are still relatively high.

According to Ms. Le Thi Ngoc Diep, Commercial Director, SLP Vietnam Company, the current bottleneck in the infrastructure of airports, seaports, warehouses, … is not standardized and distributed. In particular, the planned warehouse system has a difference between the north and the south, which leads to restrictions in the transportation of goods throughout the country.
Le Trong Hieu, Senior Director of CBRE Vietnam, said that in order to catch the wave of logistics, it is necessary to pay attention to the development and use of warehouses effectively, speed up order processing and reduce costs.
Mr. Hieu noted that the penetration of e-commerce in Vietnam is still quite low, in the next 3 years, the growth of e-commerce in Vietnam is expected to increase by 15-20%, even 50%.
