At the seminar " Developing Logistics Centers: Connecting and Unblocking Sustainable Supply Chains" organized by the Industry and Trade Magazine on May 29th, Ms. Dang Hong Nhung, from the Import-Export Department (Ministry of Industry and Trade), assessed that the number of logistics centers has increased significantly in scale, and their distribution has also changed.

While there were only about 6 logistics centers nationwide between 2007 and 2012, this number has increased tenfold in the past decade. Currently, Vietnam has 69 logistics centers.

While in the past logistics centers typically served only a single enterprise, industrial park, or province, now there are integrated logistics centers that serve entire industries or regions.

Previously, logistics centers were mainly concentrated in the Southeast region, near industrial zones. Currently, large logistics centers have also emerged in the North and Central regions, such as the Bac Giang International Logistics Center and the Lang Son Logistics Park.

Planning and integration between transportation system planning and logistics center planning still face many shortcomings. Attracting investment and developing logistics center systems is difficult. Incentives are still not specific enough and do not meet the expectations of businesses.

From a business perspective, Mr. Hoang Dinh Kien, General Director of Hoa Phat Logistics, noted that global fluctuations are causing logistics operating costs to rise, while pressure from customers to reduce service prices is increasing. Therefore, modern, strategically-scaled, and integrated logistics centers are expected to become "transit hubs" that help regulate goods flow, minimize costs, and optimize business operations.

The greatest need today is for logistics centers with multi-directional connectivity, intelligent data processing capabilities, and the ability to support logistics businesses in sharing resources.
