Global Courier, Express, and Parcel Market: Overview

Growing contract manufacturing of FMCGs in emerging markets

Consumer durables can be categorized based on FMCGs and slow-moving goods. BRICS nations contribute the largest share to the consumer goods market, whereas Asian countries such as Thailand, Korea, China, and Taiwan hold prime positions in the manufacturing sector. This is due to the growing penetration of electronic devices, changing lifestyles, and the availability of multiple online payment methods. This will boost the demand for online products and need for shipments adding benefit to the CEP industry through the delivery of these goods. Thus, the growth of contract manufacturing of FMCGs in emerging markets will lead to the expansion of the global courier, express, and parcel market at a CAGR of over 5% during the forecast period.

Growing cross-border trade in developing economies

Domestic and inter-border online e-commerce sales are increasing. Cross-border e-commerce involves the online purchase of goods in a country and shipping them overseas. The domestic online sales market is continuously growing in the US and the European Union (EU). Cross-border online sales are increasing rapidly due to improved logistics facilities, easy payment options, and increased disposable incomes. Trade liberalization among countries has also increased export and import activities. Emerging economies like China, India,. and Brazil are changing their trade and investment patterns to gain new opportunities in the global market. This development is expected to have a positive impact on the overall market growth.
