Overall Logistics in Myanmar
The logistics industry in Myanmar has undergone significant development in the past few years, spurred by enhancing trade flow, better connectivity, and the influx of big international players.
- Sea trade has played a vital role in driving Myanmar`s logistics sector: approximately 70%
- Approximately 20% of trade is treated via border trade with air freight and railroad trade accounting for the rest.
- However, as a growing economy, Myanmar has experienced a surge in request for roads.
- The total number of registered motor vehicles rose beyond five million in two thousand fourteen from less than one million in 2004.
- However, only 40% of Myanmar’s road network is paved and at least 60% of its highways need maintenance (ADB,«Asian Development Outlook 2016»).
