Cainiao Global Express accelerates its progress, and the four major distribution centers in the Americas complete automation upgrades

The reporter recently learned from Cainiao that cross-border e-commerce is entering a peak season at the end of the year and the beginning of the next year, and the American express delivery network built by Cainiao is also experiencing a peak in demand. To this end, Cainiao has continued to increase investment and upgraded four large distribution centers in the Americas, using technological means to improve the parcel fulfillment efficiency of major e-commerce platforms.

The distribution centers where Cainiao has upgraded its technology are located in Los Angeles, New York, Miami and Chicago. The parcel sorting mode has been optimized by fully adopting automated equipment and combining Cainiao's self-developed digital system. After the cross-border parcels arrive at the above sorting centers, they are quickly sorted by equipment such as cross-belt automatic sorting machines and accurately assigned to the corresponding transport vehicles to enter the final delivery link. While improving the parcel sorting speed and accuracy, consumers' cross-border shopping experience is also improved.

North America is one of the largest e-commerce markets in the world. According to Statista data, the North American market is expected to reach $1.7 trillion in 2027, with a compound annual growth rate of 14.3%. The traditional decentralized "stitching" logistics network can no longer meet the rapidly growing demand for e-commerce in North America. Cainiao started building an American express network in 2024, and launched services in the United States and Mexico at the same time. It is currently in the acceleration period of large-scale expansion.

Cainiao's express delivery network in the United States has covered 90% of the population in California and Florida , providing local delivery within two days. Cainiao's service in Mexico has also become one of the few local express delivery service providers that can provide the fastest delivery within 2.5 days.

It is reported that Cainiao Group CEO Wan Lin also recently stated internally that Cainiao will not stop in the new year and will continue to accelerate the development of its international business to better serve global customers.
