Abstract

Introduction

The express industry is set to undergo drastic transition driven by growing globalization, deregulation of the postal sector, the wave of mergers and alliances and the booming e-commerce industry. This brief contains a strategic overview of the upcoming trends in the European express market and a detailed discussion of the positive and negative effects of these trends.

Scope

Globalisation: The rising need for faster transportation globally. Consolidation: Driven by the larger players, consolidation threatens the small players as well as the national operators. Deregulation: How will the likely full deregulation of the postal sector in 2009 affect the express market? Road and B2C sectors rising: Road express is growing at the expense of air, while e-commerce is increasing due to internet usage.

Highlights

The European express and parcel market is characterized by increasing consolidation, moderate growth rates and rising operational costs. Leading global players, UPS, FedEx, DHL and TNT are expanding not only their activities in the core express services but also diversifying their portfolio to include air freight, sea freight and contract logistics. With the booming expansion of e-commerce, the international trade and B2C are expected to remain the fastest growth sectors over the coming years. The European express services are expected to reach $53.1 billion by 2010.
