What is driving inland supply chain growth in Asia Pacific?

Asia Pacific has entered a new phase of supply chain development. Manufacturers are adding production locations, diversifying sourcing strategies, and building networks that stretch far beyond traditional gateway ports. New industrial corridors across China and Southeast Asia are connecting more suppliers, facilities, and markets than ever before. As networks become more distributed, the movement of cargo inland is becoming increasingly important to overall supply chain performance.
