Our DHL strategy in a nutshell:
Continuously increasing our strength in China and beyond
The importance of China and its growth potential is huge
(>25% of global GDP growth between 2010 and 2015).
DHL is a pioneer in China and leading logistics provider in the market
(e.g. 40% market share in international express).
We continue expanding our presence in China by investing in
infrastructure, service excellence and sector management.
The new North Asia Hub in Express is an important milestone,
strengthening our leading position in the region substantially.
