DHL seeking Asia expansion

Posted by | Sep 9, 2008 | |

DHL is keen to acquire local rivals or form joint ventures in an effort to double its domestic express business in Asia to tap growing demand for intra-country services.

Dan McHugh, Chief Executive of DHL Express Asia Pacific, said the group plans to lift the revenue contribution from its domestic arm to as much as 16 per cent of the overall total from 8 per cent now, within three to four years.

Demand for rapid delivery of documents and package services in Asia has long been about exporting goods to other countries, it has changed in recent years after a rise in domestic spending prompted a greater need for local services.

The market, however, is crowded and dominated by small local players, who often offer much cheaper services than their international rivals. Still, DHL and other global carriers including FedEx and UPS are eager to take part in the fast-expanding industry, which is ex­pected to grow more than 20 per cent in the next five years.
