Logistics Tech Funding Recovers After 2023

Two Logistics Tech Unicorns in Southeast Asia
Two companies in the Southeast Asian Logistics Tech ecosystem have reached unicorn status, with both achieving the milestone in 2021.
- Singapore-based Ninja Van, a technology-enabled logistics and last-mile delivery company, crossed the $1 billion valuation mark in September 2021.
- Thailand-based Flash Express, which provides e-commerce logistics and delivery services, reached unicorn status in June 2021.
Both companies became unicorns in 2021, making the year a notable period for the region’s Logistics Tech ecosystem.
Singapore and Jakarta Lead Logistics Tech Funding
Funding in Southeast Asia’s Logistics Tech sector remains concentrated around two major hubs.
Singapore leads the region with $11.4 billion in funding received to date. Jakarta follows with $5.4 billion.
Bangkok ranks third with $777 million in funding. Other cities have received less than $50 million each, indicating that capital deployment within the regional Logistics Tech ecosystem is concentrated around Singapore and Jakarta.
Acquisitions Remain More Common Than IPOs
The Southeast Asian Logistics Tech ecosystem has recorded 17 acquisitions compared with eight IPOs, making acquisitions the more frequently recorded exit route.
Companies in the sector took an average of 12.9 years from their first funding round to an acquisition. In comparison, companies that went public took an average of 7.7 years from their first funding round to an IPO.
The sector recorded no acquisitions or IPOs in 2026 YTD.
According to Tracxn’s report, the Southeast Asian Logistics Tech ecosystem has therefore seen more companies exit through acquisitions than public listings, while recent funding activity has been driven largely by Ecommerce Logistics.
