Infrastructure, e-commerce, and investments are driving the CEP market's growth
- The presence of a significant number of pick-up and drop-off points for couriers and parcels played a major role in facilitating efficient CEP deliveries in France. Some of the largest CEP delivery providers have the most number of pick-up and drop-off points in the country. For instance, La Poste Group, the national courier service, had the highest number of pick-up and drop-off points (24,000) as of 2022, followed by Mondial Relay and General Logistics Systems (GLS) with 11,000 points combined. The number of CEP pick-up and drop-off points is further expected to go up, with e-commerce reaching about USD 107 billion by 2027 in France, owing to growth in e-commerce, which is a major CEP demand driver.
- The lockdowns during the pandemic contributed to the demand for domestic and international CEP deliveries in 2020, with the number of parcels produced per person increasing in 2020, up from 2019. The courier, express, and parcel demand remained stable in 2021, owing to the continuing trend of ordering online. Thus, major demand was generated via e-commerce and the domestic CEP market grew at a CAGR of 1.92% from 2017-2021.
- French customers are also more likely to make more online purchases in comparison to an average European customer, thus further facilitating the growth of the domestic and international CEP market. For instance, the number of e-commerce users in France is expected to reach 51.5 million by 2025. E-commerce sales for the fashion industry are expected to account for one-third of the total apparel sales in France by 2025, making it one of the largest e-commerce markets in France. This projected growth for e-commerce users and the fashion segment is expected to largely increase the demand for domestic and international CEP deliveries in France.
