HL eCommerce, a division of Deutsche Post DHL Group (DPDHL Group), is set to give an extra boost to Japan’s booming cross-border e-commerce industry which is growing at a CAGR of 16 percent and estimated to exceed EUR1.1 billion in 2018. The company officially launched its new outbound cross-border Distribution Center located in Narita, to enable Japan’s online merchants to sell directly to some of the hottest e-commerce destinations worldwide.
“In Japan, SMEs and sellers on marketplaces such as Amazon and eBay are the main cross-border e-commerce players, targeting markets in Europe, Asia, and the Americas. To enable them to grow their business and reach a wider customer base internationally, they need a greater variety of international shipping solutions with high-quality services while keeping their operational costs low. Specific e-commerce services are also needed, such as IT integration from shopping cart to delivery for a seamless logistics process,” said Yoshihiko Sasaki, managing director, DHL eCommerce Japan.
