Industry analysis: Although the market space is broad, it is developing in the direction of fragmentation, refinement and specialization. We expect that the compound growth rate of China’s logistics market scale, outsourcing logistics market scale and integrated supply chain logistics market scale from 2020 to 2025 will be 6.2%, 7.1% and 9.5% respectively, with broad market space. Among them, integrated supply chain logistics is the inevitable trend of the development of logistics industry, which is expected to develop continuously and rapidly with the support of policies. By 2020, the largest integrated supply chain logistics service market is automobile, FMCG, clothing and 3C electronics. We expect that the fastest growing fields from 2020 to 2025 will be fresh food, FMCG and clothing, among which consumer electronics, new energy vehicles, household appliances and medical devices are the key business directions of the company. 1) Relying on Lenovo Group, the company is deeply engaged in the consumer electronics industry.

The core reason is that the company continues to break its own ability boundary from standardization to customization and then to standardized business system.
