The domestic couriers market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $62.4 billion in 2023 to $69.97 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.1%. The expansion observed in the past can be credited to a growing demand from the medical and healthcare industries, an increase in e-commerce activities, and a rise in consumer spending.
The domestic couriers market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $109.39 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.8%. The anticipated expansion in the upcoming period can be ascribed to the increased demand for restaurant meal delivery services, a surge in business activity, the growth of e-commerce businesses, the rise of grocery delivery services, technological advancements, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and decreased logistics costs. Key trends expected in the forecast period involve the increased demand for parcel delivery, the implementation of automated parcel terminals, tailored solutions for e-commerce companies, a shift in focus from B2B to B2C deliveries, the introduction of drone deliveries, autonomous vehicle-based deliveries, route optimization, and the adoption of e-locker delivery systems.
E-commerce is poised to emerge as a significant catalyst for the global domestic couriers market. The continuous growth of online buying and selling activities is anticipated to result in an upsurge in courier and parcel deliveries, driving the demand for courier delivery services. E-commerce, encompassing the exchange of goods, services, funds, or data over electronic networks, particularly the internet, occurs through various models such as business-to-business (B2B), business-to-consumer (B2C), consumer-to-consumer, or consumer-to-business. Notable examples of e-commerce platforms include Amazon, Ebay, Quikr, Olx, and others. The rise of e-commerce has simplified the discovery and purchase of products through online retailers and marketplaces, benefiting freelancers, small businesses, and large corporations by facilitating expanded sales opportunities. Consequently, the flourishing e-commerce industry is expected to drive the domestic couriers market in the forecast period by creating increased opportunities for courier and parcel delivery services within the country.
The surge in urbanization is anticipated to contribute to the growth of the domestic couriers market. Urbanization involves the expanding growth and development of cities, often accompanied by the migration of populations from rural to urban areas. The resultant higher population density in urban areas fuels the demand for courier services, given the increased shipment volume. As of April 2022, the World Economic Forum reported that over 4.3 billion people, constituting 55% of the world's population, resided in urban settings, with expectations that this figure will reach 80% by 2050. Thus, the ongoing trend of urbanization is a driving force behind the growth of the domestic couriers market.
The E-locker delivery system is a computerized electronic locker system designed to enhance the security of parcel delivery, retrieval, or recovery. Each locker station typically comprises individual lockers of varying sizes, each equipped with an electronically controlled release-operated door latch. The locker station is connected to an internal computer through an input/output device(s). This system is particularly well-suited for applications such as apartments, dormitories, businesses, and other settings that involve continuous package and parcel deliveries. For example, Packcity is an automated electronic locker system that securely stores and distributes inbound parcels, notifies recipients of parcel arrivals, and facilitates 24/7 collections. Packcity efficiently manages the storage and distribution of a high volume of incoming parcels, providing an easy-to-use interface for recipients to track and be informed about their parcels. Given that the E-locker delivery system addresses the challenge of increasing parcel deliveries, it is anticipated to be a significant trend driving the domestic courier market.
