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.
"I think a lot of customers are really used to buying online, so we do see that as organic growth in this sector and the shipping prices continue at a low level right now.
"With the market condition right now, we should be able to grow five-10 per cent of volumes year-on-year,” he said in the Ninja Van Malaysia Chinese New Year Media Luncheon and Logistics Outlook 2026 today.
He said Malaysia’s logistics and transport sector, currently valued at about RM117.4 billion, continues to grow and is projected to be at 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.
For the company, last year Ninja Van Malaysia has strengthened its core last-mile foundation while expanding into new logistics capabilities to meet modern market needs. This includes scaling Ninja Cold and expanded cross-border routes.
At the same time, Ninja Van deepened its focus 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 translated into tangible growth across key segments in 2025 whereby the delivery has reached over 20 million parcel recipients nationwide.
Besides, Ninja Cold which was 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.
Meanwhile, Ninja B2B Restock has doubled 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 this year, he said Ninja Van Malaysia will focus on scaling capabilities that the market has validated, 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.
He said Ninja Cold will expand its business-to-consumer (B2C) cold e-commerce capabilities, supporting the growing demand for reliable delivery of fresh, frozen and ready-to-eat products as cold delivery becomes increasingly mainstream.
"For Ninja Cold, we see very good potential especially in areas like ready-to-eat meat, marinated meat and I think those are one of the fastest-growing sectors for us on the business to consumer side of cold trading,” he added.
He said for mid-sized shippers, Ninja Van plans to advance 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.
At the same time, its B2B restock services will extend further into industrial and manufacturing sectors, reinforcing restocking speed as a growing competitive advantage for businesses, he added. - Bernama Ninja Van Malaysia, Lin Zheng, Parcel, Corporate
