The parcels market has continued
to grow in most countries in spite of the recession. A key factor has been the growth of home
shopping.
This has acted as a spur to
innovation – in promoting the development of processes to improve the delivery
experience, from defined time-slots, to text messages to the establishment of
chains of parcel shops.
Home shopping growth looks set to
continue, creating further opportunities for those companies which are able to
deliver the quality and range of services that the market requires.
In this environment industry
consolidation has continued with the major networks continuing to make add-on
acquisitions to fill geographical and service gaps – although the EU acted to
prevent the major deal that was recently in prospect: UPS’s proposed
acquisition of TNT, on competition grounds.

weights approaching 31.5 kg. All service levels are included (time definite and
deferred). Adjacent services, such as
mail, pallet distribution, groupage, freight forwarding, sameday courier and
contract logistics are excluded.
What is the methodology?
The main sources for the report
are
Extensive desk research on the
parcels market and its operators covering company accounts, websites and other
sources
Published information on key
market drivers such as economic data and estimates of home shopping levels and
practices
Interviews with senior-level
contacts in the market
The key input to our market size
estimates is a bottom-up analysis of the revenues of the parcel companies we
have identified as operating in each of the main countries covered. Adjustments have been made to compensate for
missing data and to reflect the extent to which these companies are involved in
other logistics activities in addition to parcels.
We have used this data as the
basis on which to construct our market model.
The model produces historical and
forecast growth estimates covering the period from 2008-2018 which are based on
trends in company revenue and drivers such as economic performance and levels
and patterns of home shopping.
The main model inputs and
assumptions are discussed in detail in the report.
