An Analysis of the Development Status and Response Strategies for China's Overseas Warehouses in the Context of Cross-Border E-commerce
Journal: Modern Economics & Management Forum DOI: 10.32629/memf.v6i4.4273
Abstract
In the context of the deep evolution of global digital trade, cross-border e-commerce has become a key force in reshaping the international trade landscape. Overseas warehouses, as a new type of infrastructure supporting its development, have effectively overcome the time and space barriers of cross-border logistics through localized warehousing and distribution. This paper systematically reviews the development history and main models of China's overseas warehouses and presents their considerable scale and continuous expansion based on detailed data. The research focuses on revealing the core dilemmas currently facing the development of China's overseas warehouses, including high operating costs, difficulties in coordinating multiple warehouses across different countries, inefficient inventory management, obstacles to localization, and a scarcity of versatile talent. In response to these issues, this paper proposes targeted and systematic countermeasures. The research indicates that only through the coordinated promotion of business model innovation, adaptation of institutional rules, and empowerment through digital technology can overseas warehouses transform from cost centers into profit engines. This will ultimately support a resilient global logistics foundation for "Made in China" products going abroad and provide key support for building the "dual circulation" new development pattern.
