The ultimate goal of standard pallet specifications set by plastic pallet manufacturers is to achieve consistent pallet-based operations in logistics, reduce unnecessary storage, loading/unloading, and handling processes, improve the overall efficiency of logistics operations, and thereby lower total logistics costs. From a global perspective, even in some countries with a relatively high degree of pallet standardization, the proportion of standard pallets is not as optimistic as people might imagine. Currently, the country with the highest proportion of standard specification pallet usage is Australia, where standard pallets account for 95% of the total pallet volume; followed by Europe and the United States, which account for 70% and 55%, respectively; among Asian countries, Japan has the highest proportion at 35%, followed by South Korea at 26.7%. In China, there are numerous types of pallet specifications, and the proportion of standard specification pallets is very low, making it difficult to compare with the aforementioned countries. Achieving pallet standardization in China will require a long process.
