Abstract

Logistics enterprise is an economic entity to specialize in organization and operation of logistics activities. In recent years, with the rapid and steady development of China's economy, the logistics industry has grown rapidly, and more and more logistics companies have transformed into A-level logistics enterprises. A-level logistics enterprises are the backbone of the logistics industry whose development level determines that of the logistics industry. Therefore, a correct understanding of the different patterns of logistics enterprise layout and the mechanism of comprehensive economic and industrial factors on the comprehensive role of A-level logistics enterprises will help all levels of government and logistics enterprises to achieve optimal layout of enterprises. Based on it, this paper obtains a list of national A-level logistics enterprises from the website of China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing. It draws pictures by using tableau software and analyze the layout characteristics of Chinese logistics enterprises from the provincial scale. Moreover, this paper uses multiple regression models from a quantitative perspective to study the influencing factors of the differences in the layout of A-level enterprises. Through the above research, we draw conclusions that the distribution of China's A-level logistics enterprises has obvious geographical differences. Most of them are located in the southeast coastal area. What’s more, it obtains a regression model between comprehensive economic strength factor, logistics demand level factor, infrastructure level factor and the number of A-level logistics enterprises, which can provide some reference for the layout optimization and logistics activities organization of Chinese logistics enterprises.
