TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — Five Taiwanese retailers, including Uni-President Enterprises Corporation, Momo, PChome, PX Mart, and Coupang, have invested more than NT$100 billion (US$3.2 billion) to expand their logistics operations.

Uni-President Enterprises Corporation Chair Alex Lo (羅智先) said the company has invested over NT$50 billion to establish four logistics centers across Taiwan. The move aims to create the nation's largest logistics system, per CNA.

Uni-President plans to open a logistics park in Tainan’s Xinshi District this year, with a second facility planned for Taichung Port next year. The Taichung facility is expected to create about 1,000 jobs and serve around 1,000 7-Eleven, Cosmed, and Starbucks locations in the city.

The company’s third logistics center, located in Taoyuan’s Yangmei District, is set to open in 2027. The fourth logistics center, near Taoyuan International Airport, is expected to open in 2028 with an estimated investment of up to NT$23.5 billion.

The company also acquired Taiwan Yahoo's e-commerce business and a stake in PChome last year. 

E-commerce company Momo has invested nearly NT$15 billion in logistics centers, including its largest facility in Tainan. That center, which began operations in November, cost over NT$3 billion and handles over 50 million shipments annually.

Momo broke ground last year on its Changhua logistics center, with an investment of approximately NT$7.6 billion. The center is expected to be completed in 2027. 

PChome plans to consolidate some of its warehouses in Taoyuan into its logistics center in New Taipei’s Linkou District. The center spans approximately 45,000 ping (148,761 square meters) and features four floors of storage.

E-commerce company Coupang, known for Korean food and beauty products, has established three logistics centers in Taoyuan since 2022. The company also launched its "rocket cross-border" fast delivery service in 2023.

PX Mart operates a nationwide logistics network, including four fruit and vegetable distribution centers, three seafood processing centers, and four logistics centers. The logistics centers in New Taipei, Taoyuan, Taichung, and Kaohsiung utilize automated storage systems. The company's investment exceeds NT$30 billion.

Taiwan's e-commerce sector outperformed physical retail in year-on-year growth during the first three quarters of last year, the Ministry of Economic Affairs said. E-commerce revenue surpassed NT$460 billion last year, setting a record.
