Ninja Van opens 44 delivery lanes to global markets
NINJA Van Malaysia has launched 44 new international delivery lanes, providing Malaysian businesses with direct access to key markets across Asia Pacific, North America, Latin America, the Middle East and Europe.
Including existing routes to Singapore and the Philippines, the company now serves a total of 46 international destinations, making it one of the most accessible cross-border logistics networks available to local brands.
Ninja Van said the expansion marks a significant step forward in Malaysia's cross-border trade capabilities, offering one of the most affordable shipping solutions in the market at over 50 per cent lower cost than traditional services.
"As global e-commerce continues to surge, this enables local brands to participate more competitively and scale their businesses with confidence," it added.
Designed for the underserved segment of Malaysia's e-commerce sector, Ninja Van said its new cross-border solution addresses long-standing barriers that have hindered small and medium- enterprises from expanding internationally.
According to industry projections, the Malaysian e-commerce market is expected to grow at an annual rate of 14 per cent, reaching RM36.2 billion (estimated US$8.6 billion) by 2027.
Between 2016 and 2023, more than 1.51 million local businesses entered the e-commerce industry, signalling strong entrepreneurial momentum and the country's readiness to go global.
Despite a strong desire to expand globally, many Malaysian brands are still held back by high shipping costs, complicated customs processes and limited infrastructure, Ninja Van said.
Both express and postal delivery options currently come at a high cost.
"Ninja Van Malaysia's latest expansion bridges this gap by offering new international delivery lanes with an accessible, cost-effective logistics solution tailored for SMEs in Malaysia," it said.
According to Jeremy Hong, regional vice president of Ninja Van Cross-Border, the expansion is timely and necessary.
"The world is no longer out of reach for Malaysian brands. With the launch of these 44 new international lanes, we are offering a practical and cost-effective way for local businesses to enter new markets, build a global customer base, and grow confidently.
"Our goal is simple: to eliminate the friction from cross-border logistics so businesses can focus on what matters most- creating, innovating and scaling without limits," he added.
In Malaysia, the company operates a 260,000 square foot hub in Shah Alam, supported by more than 160 hubs, 5,000 drop-off and pick-up points and 7,000 vehicles.
Regionally, Ninja Van moves over two million parcels daily and has enabled more than 270,000 merchants for cross-border shipping, ensuring consistent service and full visibility from pick-up to final delivery.
