ABSTRACT: This paper uses CiteSpace software to conduct a quantitative analysis of 366 kinds of literature on logistics outsourcing from 2000 to 2019 in the CNKI database, identify the research status and hotspots of logistics outsourcing in China and then summarize the deficiencies and future research directions. The paper identifies the research status of logistics outsourcing in China through the analysis of authors and research institutions. There are many scholars doing research, but the number of published papers is not very high, and the research institutions are mainly colleges and universities. Through literature analysis of co-occurrence keywords simultaneously, identifying the hot topics in the study of China’s logistics outsourcing, logistics outsourcing risk, and cost has always been a burning problem in the survey on logistics outsourcing in China. With the constant rise of the supply chain and the development of logistics, logistics outsourcing decision-making, logistics outsourcing performance, and relationship quality are becoming a research hotspot in logistics outsourcing. We can consider the version of logistics outsourcing, logistics outsourcing based on the supply chain, and logistics outsourcing’s collaborative research in future.
