The New Logistics Situation Under the Wave of 15th Five-Year Plan: Forest Logistics Properties' Steady Practice

August 29, 2025

The commencement of China's "16th Five-Year Plan" (2026-2030) in 2025 presents new opportunities for the warehousing and logistics sector. Evolving from green transformation to smart upgrades, international expansion, and functional reinvention, logistics parks are becoming crucial nodes for industrial advancement. As a key player, Forest Logistics Properties is steadily navigating these changes with its forward-thinking strategy and exceptional services.

Green Transformation: From Major Energy Consumer to Carbon Reduction Pioneer

Green transition is a core objective for logistics parks under the "16th Five-Year Plan". Actively responding to national policies, several parks have achieved LEED® Gold certification. For instance, the Foerst Shanghai Fengxian Logistics Park utilizes integrated technologies like high-efficiency insulation materials, natural lighting design, and photovoltaic power generation, reducing energy consumption by 30% compared to traditional warehouses.

Furthermore, through its Intelligent Energy Management System (EMS) and Automated Meter Reading (AMR), we enables fully digitized management of water and electricity across its 3 million square meters of national storage facilities. This represents a systematic shift from "energy consumption" to "energy conservation," demonstrating that logistics facilities can transform from major energy consumers into carbon reduction pioneers.

Smart Upgrades: Technology-Driven Efficiency Revolution

Smart upgrades are a key direction and competitive edge for logistics park development under the "15th Five-Year Plan". Forest Logistics Properties’s smart park management platform not only enables remote integrated control but also leverages an advanced park-level IoT platform to integrate multiple intelligent systems including security monitoring, energy management, vehicle scheduling, and environmental monitoring, ensuring comprehensive park efficiency, safety, and low-carbon operation.

The platform also features real-time data analysis and intelligent decision-making capabilities, dynamically optimizing resource allocation and continuously improving operational efficiency.

International Expansion: Building New Global Supply Chain Nodes

An integrated "Overseas Warehouse + Domestic Park" system is a focus for international layout in the "15th Five-Year Plan". Our national warehouse network demonstrates strong capabilities in this area. Parks like the Forest Taicang Port Logistics Park and the Forest Huizhou Huiyang Logistics Park, located in coastal cities near major ports, provide convenient shipping channels for industries like photovoltaics aiming to expand globally.

Functional Reshaping: Creating Highly Efficient, Collaborative Logistics Hubs

The "15th Five-Year Plan" promotes the functional reshaping of logistics parks, aiming to build a three-tier system of "National Hub – Regional Hub – City Distribution Center." This transformation allows parks to better integrate into the national logistics network, becoming key strategic supports for regional economic development.

Our logistics park layout aligns closely with this functional reshaping goal. Its often situated at key transportation hubs near critical nodes in industrial chains, providing efficient logistics support for related businesses. For example, the Forest Fuzhou Lianjiang Logistics Park, located adjacent to a leading power battery manufacturer's base, enables rapid response to raw material supply and finished product distribution needs, achieving high supply chain synergy.

Currently, Forest Logistics Properties has established a warehouse network covering 23 cities across China. All parks are equipped with high-standard storage facilities, providing tenants with an efficient and secure warehousing environment. Professionally staffed property management teams operate in each park, offering 24/7 security services and utilizing the smart park management system to provide real-time facility maintenance and operational support for clients.
