SINGAPORE is the most efficient country in the Asia Pacific region for logistics performance and ranks fifth in the World Bank Logistics Performance Index (LPI), reports Mumbai's STAT Trade Times.
Changi Airport plays a crucial role in the air cargo movement in the region, having handled 2.13 million tonnes of cargo in 2017.
There was registered increase of eight per cent growth on a year-on-year basis in the air cargo segment last year. This is primarily because of exports, which grew 14 per cent, while imports were up eight per cent and transshipments up by four per cent.
In the world cargo ranking Changi stood in 7th place. Nine out of the 10 cargo market of Changi Airport saw strong growth last year, notably China, Germany, South Korea.
For Changi, the top five import and export markets are very similar. The export markets are US, Hong Kong, China, Australia and Korea wherein the imports markets are US, Hong Kong, China, Australia and Japan.
Pharmaceuticals, perishables and e-commerce are the three key area on which Singapore focuses because of high potential growth in these segments and are key pillars to the manufacturing in the city state.
In pharma, Changi Airport Group (CAG) has made advances, forming the first airport community in the Asia Pacific with six companies and with its airline partner Singapore Airline Cargo attained IATA CEIV certification.
Said CAG associate general manager Jaisey Yip: "Pharma@Changi was born in October 2017. This initiative comprises of 10 companies in Singapore which are IATA CEIV certified."
Ms Yip said CAG looked at creating a collaborative platform with three major objectives; a) to continue working with these stakeholders and check whether there were gaps in terms of pharma handling in the airport environment and address these gaps b) to pilot digitisation and c) to promote Singapore as a reliable and trusted air cargo pharma handling hub.
Ms Yip also pointed out that in addition to the 10 companies that have already joined the initiative; the second set of companies is in the process of joining the Pharma@Changi.
Globally, Changi Airport has been actively involved in the pharma.aero programme founded by the Miami International Airport and Brussels Airport. Changi Airport was the third airport to join this global community.
Fifty global pharma companies have invested in Singapore, and it is forecasted that by 2021 the bio-medical sales would be US$400 billion globally. And $16 billion would be spent in cool chain facilities alone.
Currently, there are 100 airlines operating out of Changi and 25 of them are all-freighter operators. Changi is connected to 16 cities in India and 34 cities in China, and all capital cities of ASEAN.
