The purpose of this paper is to estimate minimum short-run average cost (SRAC), capacity utilization (SCU), and the state of SRAC focusing on Korean logistic firms. The average SCUs in overall logistic firms showed very low levels as 0.328-0.344 and most firms (62-63 firms) were in the decreasing state of SRAC. The SCU of dangerous goods warehousing was high but that of refrigerated warehousing was low. The incomplete uses of production facility are high in the Korean logistic firms, which is the main factor to increase their SRAC. In the future, we need to reduce cost through informationalization, management rationalization, and facility sharing in the logistic firms.
