Langfang's parcel delivery volume reached 2.244 billion items in 2025, marking a year-on-year increase of 30.63%. This represents the third consecutive year that the city has maintained a high growth rate exceeding 30%. According to the Langfang Municipal Postal Administration, this achievement is a direct result of the city's focus on developing logistics hubs, which has significantly upgraded the regional industrial ecosystem.
At ZTO Express's Northern Headquarters inbound warehouse in the Guangyang Economic Development Zone, two sets of double-layer cross-belt automated sorting systems operate at high speed, processing 70,000 items per hour. The facility currently handles up to 7 million items daily, with volume peaking at 12 million items during busy periods. Its annual processing capacity has reached 3.5 billion items.
With the official commencement of operations at ZTO's Northern Headquarters in October 2025, Langfang now hosts the northern headquarters or regional hubs for eight major delivery brands, including China Post, SF Express, JD.com, the "Tongda" group (ZTO, STO, YTO), and J&T Express. The city's daily parcel transfer and processing capacity has increased to 37 million items, with over 6 million packages shipped from Langfang to destinations across China every day, solidifying its role as a key logistics hub.
In 2025, revenue from Langfang's courier services totaled 12.29 billion yuan, up 23.09% year-on-year. The city's parcel volume accounted for 18.76% of the provincial total.
This impressive growth is driven by a virtuous cycle formed through deep integration between logistics services and local industries. Leveraging the advantages in shipping costs and delivery speed brought by the concentration of courier headquarters, Langfang has developed distinctive industrial clusters from scratch, such as the book industry.
In recent years, over a hundred book-related enterprises from Beijing have relocated to areas like Xianghe and Yongqing, forming a complete book delivery supply chain that includes warehousing, sorting, distribution, and after-sales services. This is a prime example of an industrial cluster emerging around logistics capabilities.
At the e-commerce logistics center of the Jinglian Modern Book Industrial Park in Yongqing County, workers use smart warehouse systems for rapid sorting and order fulfillment. Delivery vehicles from companies like YTO Express and SF Express come and go, shipping batches of books nationwide. The park currently offers over 300,000 types of books, dispatching between 80,000 and 100,000 volumes daily across the country. As a leading local enterprise, the Jinglian Group has spurred the agglomeration of more than 100 book publishing and warehousing companies, establishing Yongqing as a major national hub for publication storage and distribution.
The logistics advantages have also enabled traditional industries to achieve leapfrog growth in e-commerce. Gu'an County, renowned as the "Hometown of Fishing Tackle in China," previously relied mainly on offline sales. In recent years, leveraging the clustering of northern headquarters for JD.com, STO Express, and others, along with their professional, high-efficiency logistics solutions, local fishing gear manufacturers have widely transitioned to live-stream e-commerce. One company, for instance, operates six fishing rod production lines with an annual output of 600,000 rods. Its products are sold via e-commerce platforms both domestically and internationally, generating annual sales exceeding 20 million yuan. The fishing tackle industry in Gu'an has now grown into a specialized cluster comprising over 2,000 enterprises, with an annual output value surpassing 1.5 billion yuan.
Furthermore, traditional industries are undergoing fashionable transformations. Dachang County's rosewood industry, traditionally focused on large furniture production and sales, is now using the extensive delivery network to create lightweight cultural and creative products—such as bracelets, combs, and handheld ornaments—from wood scraps. These items are better suited for e-commerce sales and courier delivery. One local rosewood furniture company currently operates more than 20 online stores and over 10 live-streaming studios capable of simultaneous broadcasts, shipping over 3,000 orders daily. This marks a successful shift from traditional manufacturing to cultural e-commerce.
The development is further attracting the establishment of e-commerce cloud warehouses, upgrading the logistics sector from a simple "delivery channel" to a "supply chain brain." Leading e-commerce platforms like JD.com and Cainiao, along with dozens of third-party smart cloud warehouses, have established a presence in Langfang. By utilizing the high-frequency collection and direct dispatch capabilities of courier headquarters, they enable forward placement of inventory and rapid order fulfillment. This has created an integrated operational network linking e-commerce, cloud warehouses, and courier headquarters, serving as the core engine for Langfang's sustained high-speed growth in parcel delivery volume.
