FedEx has unveiled its Global Economic Impact Report for the fiscal year 2025, showcasing a substantial $5.7b contribution to the Asia Pacific (APAC) economy. The report, developed with Dun & Bradstreet, highlights FedEx’s role in enhancing connectivity and innovation across the region, which is increasingly pivotal in global trade.
Operating in APAC for over 40 years, FedEx employs tens of thousands across 43 markets, linking them to the global economy. In FY25, the company indirectly contributed $1.6b to the region, with significant investments in the Transportation, Storage, and Communications sector, and the Manufacturing sector. Salil Chari, senior vice president of marketing and customer experience at FedEx Asia Pacific, noted, “Asia Pacific is one of the most dynamic and diverse markets in the world… Our customers span small e-commerce entrepreneurs to global manufacturers.”
Key developments in the report include new flight routes, such as a direct round-trip between Singapore and the US, and a new route connecting Guangzhou, Bangalore, UAE, Liège, and Paris. FedEx also opened new facilities in Bali and Thailand’s Eastern Economic Corridor to meet rising demand. The company spent $1.9b with suppliers in APAC, with 88% being small enterprises, underscoring its commitment to local entrepreneurship.
FedEx’s sustainability initiatives include adopting electric vehicles in multiple APAC markets and installing solar panels at its South Pacific Regional Hub in Singapore. These efforts are part of FedEx’s broader goal to achieve carbon-neutral operations by 2040. The report underscores FedEx’s ongoing investment in the region, aiming to make supply chains smarter, faster, and more sustainable.
