J&T Global Express, the Indonesia-headquartered global logistics service provider, recently announced a substantial increase in parcel volume during Southeast Asia’s 9.9 Mega Sales, one of the region’s largest annual e-commerce shopping festivals.
Held during a three-day period, from 9 to 11 September, major e-commerce platforms offer consumers a range of promotional deals during this peak shopping period.
Thanks to strengthened partnerships with key e-commerce platforms and a focused expansion into non-e-commerce sectors, J&T Express experienced strong parcel growth during the 9.9 sale. Compared to August 2024, parcel volumes across multiple Southeast Asian markets surged by over 20%. Year-on-year, several countries saw their business volumes double compared to the same promotional period in 2023.
Robust performance
“Our robust performance during the 9.9 Mega Sales reflects the enormous growth potential of Southeast Asia’s e-commerce market and demonstrates J&T Express’ continued service enhancements in the region,” affirmed Hou ‘Charles’ Junyi, Vice President, J&T Express.
“Beyond e-commerce, we’re also expanding into new sectors, offering reliable, efficient logistics solutions to more clients. We will continue strengthening our network and investing in operational resources to deliver exceptional service as always,” he continued.
Expansion
To meet growing demand and peak season volumes, J&T Express has continued to ramp up its local investments and network enhancements across Southeast Asia.
By the end of August, the Company upgraded 11 sorting centres and added 9 distribution hubs across the Philippines, boosting sorting capacity by 1.5x. It also secured 1.5x additional third-party transport resources to support the surge in sorting, deliveries, and customer service during the shopping festival.
In Vietnam, J&T introduced 400 additional line-haul vehicles, and the company’s largest sorting centre in Northern Vietnam is set to go live soon. Equipped with intelligent operational technology and advanced equipment, the centre will automate every stage of the process, achieving a 99.99% accuracy rate in parcel handling and significantly enhancing operational efficiency.
