Chinese tech giant Alibaba is eyeing growth in South-east Asia’s third-party logistics market, with its Cainiao Network arm recently unveiling a spate of plans for regional smart warehouse projects.
Citing both Asean’s strategic location and an e-commerce boom in countries such as Vietnam, Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia, Ding Hongwei, general manager of Cainiao Technology, called South-east Asia a key region and one of “our focus markets” outside China.
