Ozon's Warehousing Infrastructure Exceeds 5 Million Square Meters, Pickup Point Network Prioritizes Coverage of Small and Medium Towns

[Ebrun Exclusive] April 21, Russian e-commerce platform Ozon recently disclosed its latest data: by the end of 2025, the company's total warehousing infrastructure area had exceeded 5 million square meters, with its logistics facilities handling an average of 55 million product items daily.

While continuing to expand existing warehouse sites, the platform has accelerated the construction of new fulfillment centers and expanded its pickup point (PVZ) network to 84,000 locations, significantly enhancing overall regional fulfillment capabilities.

In terms of network structure, as of the end of 2025, Ozon's logistics system consisted of 50 fulfillment centers and over 150 distribution centers, covering major regions in Russia and some overseas markets. The warehousing area increased by more than one-third year-over-year, marking its entry into a phase of large-scale infrastructure development.

Concurrently, logistics processing capacity has also grown rapidly: the platform's logistics facilities currently execute approximately 55 million product operations daily, an 80% year-over-year increase; the number of parcels dispatched daily to consumers or pickup points exceeds 23 million, a nearly 65% year-over-year growth.

Regarding regional layout, Ozon has focused on central and Far Eastern regions.

In 2025, the company launched several large fulfillment centers in the Republic of Dagestan, the Republic of Adygea, Rostov Oblast, and Krasnoyarsk Krai. The first phase of these projects covers an area of 160,000 square meters, with a designed daily processing capacity of up to 900,000 orders and a total storage capacity of approximately 40 million product items.

Upon full project completion, the combined daily processing capacity of these facilities will exceed 2.8 million product items, with a total warehousing area exceeding 350,000 square meters and a potential inventory capacity of up to 100 million items. From a logistics efficiency perspective, the core value of these new warehouses lies in shortening the transportation distance between storage points and consumption endpoints, reducing reliance on cross-regional transfers. This enables more stable fulfillment services during peak periods and effectively reduces delivery costs.

Regarding the last-mile delivery network, by the end of 2025, the number of Ozon pickup points increased by 40% year-over-year, reaching 84,000, with partners adding over 24,000 new points within a year. Currently, this network covers the walking distance for approximately 130 million Russian residents. Notably, about half of the pickup points are located in small and medium-sized towns and rural areas with populations under 50,000. This layout corresponds to changes in demand structure: about one-third of the platform's orders come from small towns and rural areas, where the user base is nearly twice the size of Moscow's.

Igor Zimin, Vice President of Government Affairs, stated that e-commerce continues to penetrate various regions, especially in small and medium-sized towns, where residents' online consumption activity is constantly increasing, and demand intensity is even higher than in large cities: in 2025, the company delivered nearly 2.5 billion orders in cities and rural areas with populations not exceeding 50,000, accounting for about one-third of total order volume.

He also pointed out that relying on the pickup point network, approximately 130 million Russian residents can place orders and receive goods near their residences without traveling to regional central cities for shopping. Furthermore, a large number of pickup points are operated by local entrepreneurs, making it a business model with relatively low barriers to entry and strong stability.
