The international logistics company DHL is to launch its DHL eCommerce delivery service in Thailand.
This makes Thailand the first market in South East Asia that DHL has expanded its delivery service solution to, and will help Thai ecommerce sites to distribute their products throughout the country.
In order to achieve this goal, DHL plans to build a distribution centre in the Thai capital Bangkok and build a network of 20 depots spread out across the rest of the country. It will also increase the number of vehicles in its fleet and open a multilingual call centre to handle any queries.
Once the delivery service is up and running, DHL aims to deliver items within 1 day in cities and within 2-3 days in more rural areas.
The Thai ecommerce market is expected to triple in size over the next 4 years, and is set to reach 3.9 billion US dollars in 2020.Â
