As the “Third profit source” followed reducing material consumption and increasing labor productivity, logistics industry has been rapidly develop in recent years. In abroad, owning to the highly developed social status, has formed a thorough logistics system, the proportion of the total cost of logistics is small. The other hand, China's logistics industry started late, grew from a low starting point, the corresponding facilities are inadequate, laws and regulations are not perfect. Most of the small-scale logistics enterprises are not competitive except for a small proportion of large-scale logistics enterprises which can not achieve large-scale profits, cost of logistics enterprises 70% of the total cost or even higher. This becomes one of the bottlenecks of China's national economic development. Small and medium-sized logistics enterprises need to grow and develop without delay.Other problems like high logistics costs, the lack of logistics personnel, restricted the profit margins of the logistics enterprises. They need to be resolved in time. Based on the above situation, this paper will analyse China's logistics situation, combined with specific case studies, to provide some reference for the development of small and medium-sized logistics enterprises.
