Gimpo is solidifying its position as a last-mile delivery hub, leveraging its strategic proximity to Seoul. It is also a key battleground for Korea’s leading e-commerce giants, Coupang and Market Kurly, both of which command significant market share in the region. The April 2025 issue of Logistics Tenant Profile: Gimpo, the Origin of E-commerce Logistics highlights Coupang’s operational strategies aimed at maximizing efficiency. These include advanced warehouse automation, high-volume vehicle and labor deployment, and a milk-run supply chain system that enables sequential pickups from multiple suppliers. Modern, high-spec logistics centers that can accommodate such operations are increasingly recognized as core assets. Their value is expected to rise further, driven by growing demand from top-tier e-commerce players and leading fulfillment logistics providers.
