DHL Express has recorded a 16% increase in heavyweight cargo volumes in the Asia-Pacific region, reflecting stronger demand for international express shipments and cross-border logistics services.
The growth highlights the increasing role of express logistics in moving heavier commercial shipments across Asia-Pacific markets. Businesses are increasingly using time-definite international delivery services for urgent industrial goods, spare parts, equipment and other high-value consignments.
Asia-Pacific remains a key region for global trade, supported by expanding manufacturing activity, regional supply chains and rising cross-border commerce. The increase in heavyweight shipments points to continued demand for reliable air express connectivity between major production and consumption centres.
DHL Express has continued to strengthen its regional network and operational capabilities to support changing customer requirements. Growth in heavyweight cargo is also encouraging logistics providers to optimise aircraft capacity, ground handling and delivery networks.
The company expects demand for international express services to remain supported by evolving supply chains and increased trade across Asia-Pacific.
The rise in heavyweight volumes underscores the importance of efficient air cargo infrastructure as businesses seek faster and more reliable movement of commercial shipments across the region.
