BEIJING, July 5 (Xinhua) -- China's logistics sector continued to expand in June 2026, with the logistics business activity index edging up further, according to data released by the China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing on Sunday.

The index tracking the country's logistics market, an indicator of economic vitality, came in at 50.6 percent last month, up 0.3 percentage points from May, the data revealed.

Of the 12 sub-indices, nine remained above the boom-and-bust line, while both the business volume index and the new orders index recorded consecutive month-on-month increases.

The federation said China's manufacturing logistics demand remained on a steady upward trajectory, led by sectors such as electronic and mechanical equipment, telecommunications equipment, transportation equipment and energy-saving home appliances.

It also noted that consumer-related logistics demand remained stable in June, as holiday spending boosted business activities in wholesale trade, retail chains and supermarkets.
