DHL Group logistics and express division expansion

Overview

DHL Group has demonstrated growth and expansion across its logistics and express divisions. In the Asia Pacific region, excluding China, the company reported a 16% increase in Time Definite International Weight per Day between January and July 2026. This growth is attributed to the introduction of the Heavy Weight Express service and increased demand from the automotive, engineering, manufacturing, and technology sectors as businesses seek greater supply chain agility.

Simultaneously, the company is expanding its aviation network, notably establishing a new weekly freighter route between Bahrain and South Africa to connect the Middle East and Sub-Saharan Africa. Financially, DHL Express executives have reported strong third-quarter operational performance and improved margin outlooks, though market analysts have maintained ‘Hold’ ratings, suggesting current valuations may already reflect this momentum.
