Best Logistics Tech Companies in China

The 331 best Logistics Tech companies in China in 2026, ranked by funding and momentum. Funding, investors, founders, valuation, tech stack and live signals. Top: Yunmanman.

China's Logistics Tech sector is moving fast, and if you want to know who's backed and by how much, you're in the right place. This directory tracks 331 companies across China with $27.7B in total disclosed funding, 14 unicorns, and a clear concentration of capital at the top.

DeepWay leads the funding pack at $179M, with Neolix close behind at $126M and Quicktron at $100M. The themes driving that capital aren't subtle: EV powertrain advancements, next-generation EV platforms, and battery technology are the hot threads right now, which makes sense given China's manufacturing depth in all three. And the momentum reads confirm it. Median install growth of roughly +18% YoY across 175 logistics and supply chain apps signals that adoption isn't slowing. I'd flag that this week's supply chain roundup captures exactly this kind of acceleration, while a broader look at India's logistics tech opportunity underscores how regional competition is sharpening the urgency for China-based players to scale. Key backers including IDG Capital, Gobi Partners, and GLP are the names to watch as funding rounds continue to cluster around autonomous freight and warehouse automation.
