Changes and ranks are calculated from unrounded readings, so a change can differ by 0.1 from the difference of the rounded figures shown, and economies with the same rounded reading can hold different ranks.
WRI’s assessment
China’s inaugural Logistics Growth Index registers at 50.0 for January 2026, matching its three-month average and establishing a baseline of equilibrium across the sector. The reading reflects balanced breadth, with expansion in warehouse capacity and employment offsetting contraction in core business volume and transportation activity.
