Asian Development Bank assists the infrastructure development in the country, boosting freight transport demand
- Since March 2023, two major container truck yards in Zhejiang province, China, near Ningbo, have grappled with an excess of nearly 3,000 idle vehicles. These yards, Hengpu and Beilun, are closely tied to the port's operations. However, they have experienced a notable decline in traffic over the past two years. The accumulation of containers can be attributed to factors such as China's low storage costs, a surge in container supply during the pandemic's export boom, and a significant number of containers returning after the boom subsided.
- In the twelve months leading up to June 2022, the Asia-Pacific transportation, infrastructure, and logistics sectors witnessed the announcement of 36 equity offering deals, both pending and completed. These deals collectively accounted for a value exceeding USD 13,046.6 million. June 2021 emerged as the standout month, boasting a total deal value of USD 4,609.7 million, translating to an average deal value of USD 1,152.4 million for that month. Conversely, August 2021 recorded the highest deal volume, with nine deals and an average value of USD 255.4 million.
- The Asian Development Bank (ADB) is actively supporting Pacific DMCs (Developing Member Countries) in their endeavors related to connectivity infrastructure, including planning, construction, and maintenance. Transport projects alone account for over 59% of the ADB's portfolio in the Pacific. This robust support from the ADB is fostering a more robust and sustainable growth trajectory in the Pacific region. Looking ahead, ADB's investments in the Pacific's transportation sector are projected to surpass USD 1.6 billion, with 22 projects slated for funding during 2022鈥2024, including a notable USD 115 million in co-financing.
Building a sustainable and resilient freight and logistics sector in the Asia Pacific region
- In India, transportation costs dominate the logistics landscape, accounting for 62% of overall logistics costs and 14% of the country's GDP. Given that diesel fuel costs make up the lion's share of transportation expenses, the adoption of zero-emission trucks (ZETs) can significantly slash fuel costs by up to 46% over the vehicle's lifespan. This has far-reaching implications for India's economy. Notably, road freight, which already accounts for over a quarter of oil import expenses, is projected to surge fourfold by 2050. By embracing ZETs, India could potentially save a staggering 838 billion liters of diesel by 2050, translating to a reduction of USD 140.17 billion in oil expenditures.
- The logistics market in Asia-Pacific, valued at around USD 3.9 trillion, holds the global crown. Bolstered by rising demand from the manufacturing sector and a projected uptick in e-commerce space requirements, India is poised to spearhead warehousing growth in the region. In 2023, India was set to add a substantial 30 million square feet of warehousing space, accounting for over a third of the region's total of 86 million square feet. Meanwhile, Australia was expected to lead the pack with a rental growth of approximately 12% in 2023. The region's warehouse demand is further fueled by its robust digital sales, which surpassed USD 2.992 trillion in 2021.
- With a confluence of factors such as limited new supply, outdated facilities, and evolving consumer preferences driven by the surge in online retail, investments in cold storage properties in the Asia-Pacific were projected to hit USD 5 billion annually by 2032. This surge is primarily driven by the escalating demand for cold chain warehousing in the region.
Asia Pacific Freight and Logistics Market Trends
Asia Pacific freight demands driven by global seaborne trade, which is triggering transport sector investments
- The region's new Regional Action Program (RAP) addresses issues like increasing freight and passenger volumes and reflecting the rising freight transport and mobility demand. Two-thirds of global seaborne trade is concentrated in Asia Pacific, also home to nine of the world's busiest container ports. The region is responsible for more than 40% of the global surface freight transport flows, and by 2050, the region's demand for freight transport is projected to triple.
- India's transportation sector, primarily road-dominated, contributes about 3.75% to the GDP. Over 50% of freight and 90% of passenger traffic rely on roads, driven by government and private investments, rising exports, the FMCG sector, and growing disposable income. India promotes connectivity with 100% FDI in the roads and highway sector. Japan's FY 2021 saw increased domestic freight transportation by commercial motor vehicles, totaling about 2.6 billion metric tons, with road transport leading in volume.
- International freight transport continued to operate with the support of policy measures. In the Asia Pacific region, networks like the Asian Highway, Trans-Asian Railway, and dry ports, established under ESCAP, play a vital role in land transport connectivity and logistics. These networks are increasingly integrated with inter-regional transport corridors and shipping networks. China emphasized ensuring smooth transportation and logistics to stabilize the economy, with the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China's Shandong branch extending over USD 1.19 billion in loans to support the logistics sector in 2022.
Owing to global uncertainties, crude oil prices are soaring in the Asian economies as most of them are net oil importers
- In September 2023, oil prices hit a 10-month high of nearly USD 90 per barrel as Saudi Arabia and Russia extended their voluntary production and export cuts until the end of 2023. As India imports 85% of its oil, the fuel prices were impacted. According to the All-India Motor Transport Congress, which represents more than 14 million truckers and bus and tourist vehicle operators, the soaring fuel prices are impacting India's truckers as they have limited ability to pass on the rising prices, which account for 70% of the cost of operating a truck.
- Crude oil reached USD 130 per barrel in March 2022, its highest level since 2008, before retreating to USD 100 per barrel in April of the same year. Russia is the third-largest producer of liquid fuels and petroleum, so when the country invaded Ukraine in late February 2022, it immediately impacted crude oil prices. As the conflict continued, the prices of crude oil settled on an upward trajectory. The increase in oil price also reflects supply limitations by OPEC. Though the overall economic impact has been modest in Asia-Pacific, the situation can change quickly, subject to the magnitude and duration of oil price increases.
- Due to global geopolitical uncertainties and tight supply conditions, oil prices surpassed USD 80 in November 2021, double the price in 2020. Countries in Asia rely on coal to generate power, but shortages have turned them into natural gas. Due to high demand, natural gas prices soared in 2021 and remained high in 2022, and affected countries have switched from gas to oil to reduce power generation costs. Higher oil prices are often economically damaging for net oil importers. Most countries are net oil importers except for a few oil exporters, such as Brunei, Malaysia, and Vietnam.
