The total volume will exceed 100 billion pieces! China's express delivery industry performs well

With the rapid development of the domestic Internet and the popularization of smart phones, the e-commerce industry has grown rapidly, which has also driven the development of the express delivery industry. It is understood that express delivery has now become an important service that every Chinese person cannot do without in their daily lives. From offline to online, express delivery has brought a lot of convenience and allowed people to shop freely .

China's State Post Bureau said that there are now about 300 million express deliveries in China every day, serving a population of more than 400 million, and there are more than 4 million express delivery workers nationwide.

The huge amount of express delivery brings huge income. According to statistics, so far, the total economic output of China's postal express industry has exceeded one trillion yuan. In the past decade, it has been advancing at a high speed of 3-5 times the GDP growth rate every year . By the end of this year, China's total express delivery volume is expected to exceed 100 billion pieces.

It is reported that since 2014, China's express delivery business volume has ranked first in the world for five consecutive years , and the total express delivery volume has exceeded the total of developed economies such as the United States, Japan, and Europe . In 2020, China became the only major economy in the world to achieve positive economic growth, and the recovery of domestic consumption has driven the express delivery industry to perform exceptionally well.

However, as the express delivery industry develops rapidly, it is also accompanied by many safety risks. For example, the platform's regulatory mechanism may not be perfect, or the order location cannot be tracked in real time. If these problems are not resolved in a timely manner, chaos will occur.

In this regard, Liu Jun, member of the Party Leadership Group and deputy director of the State Post Bureau, said that China's express delivery big data platform can gather the most timely and abundant ecological operation data in the entire industry every day, and conduct real-time supervision and command and mobilization. The platform processes about 300 million express deliveries and billions of messages in real time every day, and has data service functions for real-time detection, accurate prediction, and safety hazards across the entire network.

In addition, the layout of China's express delivery infrastructure has been gradually improved . From the perspective of the layout of express delivery outlets, the number of business outlets of China's express delivery companies has shown an overall growth trend. According to data from the State Post Bureau, as of the end of 2019, there were 210,000 express delivery service outlets in China, a year-on-year increase of 5.5%.

China's express delivery industry now has great development potential . Faced with such a huge express delivery market, various giants have begun to divide the cake. Currently, YTO, ZTO, STO and BEST have all been acquired by Alibaba. China's express delivery market can be divided into Alibaba Cainiao, SF Express, JD.com and the Post Office.

For consumers, competition and development in the express delivery industry have brought about improvements in convenience . In 2020, due to the impact of the epidemic, most consumers reduced their offline physical store consumption, resulting in a large amount of online consumption demand. The emergence of factors such as live streaming and e-commerce poverty alleviation has driven a significant increase in express delivery demand , so in the short and medium term, the overall demand for China's express delivery industry will still maintain a relatively prosperous growth trend .
