The sudden COVID-19 epidemic has brought great impact to the global economy, and the transportation and delivery of medical resources and the basic living needs of the whole people all over the world are becoming urgent and centralized. This epidemic shows that there are still shortcomings in international logistics, emergency logistics, and green logistics. This research collected and collated data on the financial reports of major logistics companies, public social indicators, news reports, and national policies before and after the epidemic, and conducted a comparative analysis to derive the specific impact of the epidemic on the logistics industry. For example, the operating costs of logistics enterprises rose, the prices of international shipping soared, and so on. It also proposes corresponding measures for logistics companies such as building smart logistics and expanding their business scope. Finally, the future direction of the logistics industry is proposed-to accelerate the introduction of digital technology, optimize resource deployment and build a green and smart logistics system. By paying close attention to the development of the international logistics industry, this research hopes to provide the development direction for Chinese logistics enterprises and strive to create a logistics system adapted to the development of China's manufacturing industry, help the industrial supply chain and play a greater role in the global logistics and supply chain network.
