Kuala lumpur: Ninja Van Malaysia projects a five to 10 per cent growth in domestic parcel volumes in 2026 compared with 2025, supported by continued growth in online purchasing. Chief executive officer Lin Zheng said shipping prices also continue to remain low, making online shopping more attractive for consumers and driving higher parcel volumes.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, Lin Zheng noted that many customers are accustomed to buying online, contributing to organic growth in this sector. He emphasized that the current market conditions should enable a five to 10 per cent year-on-year volume growth. The logistics and transport sector in Malaysia, presently valued at about RM117.4 billion, is anticipated to reach RM153.78 billion by 2030, driven by a maturing e-commerce landscape, the rise of mid-sized shippers, and businesses expanding beyond marketplaces into owned channels.

Last year, Ninja Van Malaysia strengthened its core last-mile foundation while expanding into new logistics capabilities to meet modern market needs. This included scaling Ninja Cold and expanding cross-border routes. The company focused on business-to-business (B2B) logistics, addressing gaps in a traditionally manual and fragmented landscape and responding to rising demand for integrated, end-to-end solutions. These efforts resulted in tangible growth across key segments in 2025, with delivery reaching over 20 million parcel recipients nationwide.

Ninja Cold, launched in February 2025, has onboarded over 1,000 businesses and currently handles roughly 100,000 cold parcels per month, delivering 100 per cent across Peninsular Malaysia. Additionally, Ninja B2B Restock has shown double year-on-year growth, supporting faster and more reliable replenishment cycles for over 250 businesses, while Less-Than-Truckload (LTL) services delivered up to 3,000 pallets, largely serving B2B shippers.

Moving forward, Ninja Van Malaysia will focus on scaling capabilities validated by the market, deepening geographic and service coverage, and building logistics solutions that evolve alongside business needs. Last-mile delivery will continue to anchor the company's operations, supported by ongoing investments in network density and route optimisation to enable more integrated supply chains.

Ninja Cold will expand its business-to-consumer (B2C) cold e-commerce capabilities, supporting the growing demand for delivery of fresh, frozen, and ready-to-eat products. Lin Zheng mentioned the potential in sectors like ready-to-eat meat and marinated meat for the business-to-consumer side of cold trading.

For mid-sized shippers, Ninja Van plans to enhance its B2B services by introducing LTL direct intercity routes and full truckload (FTL) offerings in the second half of 2026, modernising freight movement in a segment traditionally dominated by rigid transport models. Additionally, its B2B restock services will extend further into industrial and manufacturing sectors, reinforcing restocking speed as a competitive advantage for businesses.
