Cainiao Sees Major Growth in Overseas Warehouse Orders During Black Friday and Cyber Monday
Time : Invalid date Category: News Bulletin
Cainiao, a global leader in e-commerce logistics, has seen a significant surge in orders from its overseas warehouses during this year's Black Friday and Cyber Monday shopping events.
According to Cainiao's global supply chain data, the number of outbound orders from its overseas warehouses has grown sharply compared to last year. In North America, peak daily order volume at Cainiao’s overseas warehouses tripled year-on-year. Products like 3D printers and robotic vacuums were particularly popular with overseas consumers. For instance, during Black Friday and Cyber Monday, orders for 3D printers increased by 150% year-on-year, and more than 200% compared to normal days. Similarly, orders for robotic vacuums were up by over 270% compared to typical volumes.
To meet the rising demand, Cainiao has expanded its warehouse network, including a new 70,000-square-meter facility in Los Angeles and Savannah. This expansion improves Cainiao's U.S. distribution network, reducing delivery times and helping merchants cut last-mile costs.
With many e-commerce platforms extending their Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales, consumer spending reached new heights. Cainiao have made extensive preparations to support cross-border merchants during this busy period. The company used its supply chain forecasting tools to help merchants better plan their inventory and resources, improving inventory turnover and order fulfillment efficiency.
The use of AGV and AMR robots in the warehouses has boosted efficiency by more than three times. Cainiao’s self-developed smart system also provides real-time monitoring of warehouse and last-mile performance, helping merchants streamline operations and cut costs. Despite the surge in orders, Cainiao’s overseas warehouses continued to perform smoothly. With its extensive global last-mile network, Cainiao was able to maintain its 3-day delivery promise across North America and Europe, with some cities even receiving next-day delivery.
