The China Federation of Logistics and Procurement announced the China Highway Logistics Freight Index for April today (8th). As market demand stabilizes and improves, the highway logistics freight index stops falling and rebounds month-on-month, and continues to maintain a slight year-on-year growth.
In April, China's highway logistics freight index was 105 points, a month-on-month increase of 0.23% and a year-on-year increase of 2.09%. Judging from the model index, the index of each model has risen and fallen month-on-month, with a slight increase year-on-year. Among them, the vehicle index, mainly commodities and regional transportation, was 105.5 points, up 0.29% from the previous month and 2.45% from the same period last year.
By region, freight indexes in regions such as Northeast China, North China, Southwest China, Pearl River Delta, and Yangtze River Delta have all rebounded.
With the stable release of demand, the expansion trend of enterprises' operations is basically stable, the supply of transportation capacity is still relatively sufficient, and the supply and demand sides are maintained at a good balance. Driven by the short-term factors of the May Day holiday, transportation demand showed a slight growth trend, and the freight index rebounded slightly from a high level on a month-on-month basis, reflecting the continued relatively active momentum of the road transportation market in the previous period.
From the later trend, my country has the advantage of a super-large-scale market, and market demand is still expected to maintain stable expansion, and companies are optimistic about the future market.
