China's e-commerce logistics sector posted steady growth in February this year as the Beijing Winter Olympics boosted demand for consumption of winter sports clothing and equipment, according to industry data, which showed the index tracking e-commerce logistics activities stood at 108.9 points during the month, up by 0.3 points from January.

According to a survey jointly undertaken by the China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing and e-commerce giant JD.com, total demand for e-commerce logistics expanded last month in comparison with the same period of past years, with the sub-index tracking total business volume rising 3 points year on year.

The Winter Olympics triggered rapid growth in demand for winter sports clothing and equipment as well as Olympic merchandise, which effectively stimulated demand for e-commerce logistics in February, official Chinese media cited the survey as saying.

It predicted further expansion of e-commerce logistics activities in March driven by a continuous increase in demand and the recovery of supply as logistics employees fully resume work.
