What benefits does the opening of the new Yiwu, China to Dubai logistics corridor bring to China's economy?
Logistics innovation has always been a core driver for upgrading an open economy. Efficient logistics channels deepen international cooperation and open new avenues for mutually beneficial development. This new corridor establishes a trade bridge between China and the Middle East, becoming a solid link for economic exchange and collaboration between the two regions—and contributes more Chinese strength to the building of a shared future for humanity.
Significantly reduces costs and time for foreign trade enterprises
Improved efficiency: Transit time from Yiwu warehouses to Dubai terminals has been cut from 23 days to 17 days—a 26% reduction. This resolves the traditional trade-off between long sea freight times and high air freight costs.
Cost savings: Total logistics costs are reduced by about 18%, particularly benefiting small and medium-sized foreign trade enterprises around Yiwu. This enables them to deliver more quickly and at lower prices to seize opportunities in the Middle Eastern market.
Boosts competitiveness of the Yangtze River Delta industrial belt
The corridor complements the Hefei–Ningbo–Wilhelmshaven (Germany) "dual-speed" route, giving the Yangtze River Delta two efficient international logistics arteries. This helps shift the region from a "manufacturing hub" to a "global supply chain center."
It also drives the clustering of supporting industries such as warehousing, processing, and cross-border finance. For example, a hub network featuring "Yiwu consolidation + Ningbo shipping + Dubai distribution" strengthens the resilience of industrial supply chains.
