Ozon to Add 10 Large Logistics Centers This Year, Accelerating E-commerce Infrastructure Expansion in Russia

June 8th news: At the recently concluded 2026 St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF), Ozon's Vice President of Government Relations stated that the platform's logistics infrastructure construction continues to accelerate. Five large logistics centers have been put into operation in the first half of 2026, with plans to add 10 more fulfillment complexes in the second half. The new warehouses are expected to accommodate over 150 million items. Once fully operational, the daily order processing capacity is projected to exceed 5 million orders. As of the first quarter, Ozon's total warehouse area has surpassed 5 million square meters, with over 83,000 pickup points (PVZ) across Russia. The primary reason for this warehouse expansion is that the number of Ozon's customers in small and medium-sized cities and towns has nearly doubled compared to Moscow, with regional orders accounting for one-third of the total volume. Therefore, the fulfillment network needs to extend deeper into regions like Siberia and the Far East. For cross-border sellers, as Ozon strengthens its FBO (Fulfillment by Ozon) system, similar to FBA, and implements zoned delivery, factors such as shipping stability, on-time delivery performance, and the rate of goods entering official warehouses will gradually be incorporated into search ranking considerations. The advantage of relying solely on low-priced, high-volume product listings will be diminished. It is recommended that sellers plan ahead for local inventory in Russia and consider Ozon Global Logistics (OGL) solutions to adapt to the higher fulfillment standards. [Source: Ebrun Go.
