Summary

The South Korea e-commerce logistics market size reached USD 9,401.45 Million in 2024. The market is projected to reach USD 27,906.73 Million by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 12.85% during 2025-2033. Logistics players are wagering heavily on localized warehouses, micro-fulfillment centers, and smart lockers that reduce delivery time and increase convenience. Besides this, retailers are adopting artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled tools to refine cost optimization and improve coordination with third-party partners, thus contributing to the expansion of the South Korea e-commerce logistics market share.

South Korea E-commerce Logistics Market Trends:
Strong last-mile delivery infrastructure
Strong last-mile delivery infrastructure is a critical driver of the market in South Korea, as it directly impacts delivery speed, efficiency, and customer satisfaction in an increasingly competitive digital retail landscape. South Korea’s advanced urban infrastructure, coupled with its dense population centers, has enabled logistics providers to establish streamlined last-mile networks that ensure timely deliveries across metropolitan as well as suburban areas. Companies are launching effective systems to optimize delivery routes, minimize delays, and handle the surge in e-commerce volumes, especially during seasonal sales and promotional events. In March 2025, South Korea’s e-commerce leader Naver Corp. enhanced its logistics operations, a strategy anticipated to considerably grow the domestic parcel delivery sector. The firm overhauled its Naver Fulfillment Alliance (NFA) system, launching quicker delivery choices like same-day, next-day, and scheduled delivery services. The project sought to improve logistics effectiveness and stimulate greater demand. Logistics players are investing heavily in localized warehouses, micro-fulfillment centers, and smart lockers that reduce delivery time and increase convenience. The growing use of two-wheelers, electric vehicles (EVs), and autonomous delivery systems is further strengthening the reliability of last-mile operations. Additionally, partnerships between retailers and logistics companies are enhancing coverage and efficiency, ensuring that products reach customers quickly.
Rising integration of AI
Increasing integration of AI is significantly bolstering the South Korea e-commerce logistics market growth by transforming supply chain efficiency, cost optimization, and customer experience. As per the IMARC Group, the South Korea AI market size was valued at USD 3.12 Billion in 2024. AI-based solutions enable real-time tracking, predictive demand forecasting, and intelligent route planning, helping logistics providers manage high order volumes while minimizing delivery delays. By analyzing large sets of user and operational data, AI supports smarter inventory management, ensuring that products are stocked closer to demand hubs, reducing lead times. Automation of tasks, such as order processing, shipment sorting, and warehouse operations, also reduces human error and accelerates workflows. Additionally, AI-oriented chatbots and customer service systems enhance transparency, offering instant updates and resolving delivery queries quickly, which strengthens trust and satisfaction among e-commerce buyers. For last-mile delivery, AI helps in optimizing vehicle utilization and predicting traffic conditions to improve efficiency and cut fuel costs. Beyond logistics providers, retailers are also adopting AI-enabled tools to improve coordination with third-party partners, ensuring a seamless supply chain. Overall, the adoption of AI is redefining operational agility, lowering costs, and facilitating more reliable deliveries.
