[At present, the export freight forwarding market is large and continues to grow. With the globalization of the global economy, trade exchanges between countries are frequent, and the volume of export business is constantly rising, driving the demand for export freight forwarding. In terms of the degree of competition, it is very intense. There are many freight forwarding enterprises in the market, and to some extent, there is a phenomenon of service homogenization. Enterprises compete in terms of price and service quality to grab customers. In terms of development trends, digital transformation is a major trend. Enterprises like Zhongshitong use digital technology to optimize processes, achieve real - time information sharing, and improve efficiency. Green logistics is also attracting attention.
