26.2% Growth Signals Strong Momentum for J&T Express in Q1 2026
Strong start to 2026 for J&T Express
Global logistics provider J&T Express has reported a 26.2% year-on-year growth in parcel volume for the first quarter of 2026, reflecting strong demand across key markets and continued expansion of its global logistics network.
During the reporting period, the company handled a total of 8.326 billion parcels, with average daily volumes reaching approximately 92.5 million shipments.
This performance highlights a solid start to the year, supported by increasing e-commerce activity and improved operational efficiency across regions.
Southeast Asia leads rapid expansion
One of the strongest contributors to this growth was Southeast Asia, where J&T Express continues to dominate the market. Parcel volume in the region surged by nearly 80% year-on-year, reaching 2.768 billion parcels in Q1.
The growth was driven by:
- Strong demand from e-commerce platforms
- Seasonal shopping peaks such as Ramadan
- Continued investment in logistics infrastructure
The company also expanded its operational capacity, increasing line-haul vehicles and automated sorting systems to support rising demand.
Global markets accelerate beyond China
While China remains a core market, J&T Express is seeing rapid expansion in other regions. Non-China parcel volumes now account for over 35% of total shipments, indicating a shift toward a more globally diversified business model.
In emerging markets, including Latin America and the Middle East, parcel volumes more than doubled year-on-year. The company has been actively partnering with major e-commerce platforms such as TikTok, Temu, SHEIN, and AliExpress to capture cross-border growth opportunities.
Additionally, J&T expanded its network by adding new service outlets and sorting centers, further strengthening its international logistics capabilities.
E-commerce continues to drive logistics growth
The company’s performance reflects the broader momentum of global e-commerce, which continues to fuel demand for fast and efficient delivery solutions. As online retail expands, logistics providers like J&T Express are investing heavily in automation, infrastructure, and cross-border capabilities.
Industry trends suggest that Southeast Asia and emerging markets will remain key growth drivers in the coming years, supported by increasing internet penetration and digital adoption.
Outlook remains positive
J&T Express’ strong first-quarter results indicate continued growth potential for 2026. With a focus on operational efficiency, infrastructure expansion, and strategic partnerships, the company is well-positioned to capitalize on the next wave of e-commerce growth.
