Rising demand for domestic and international CEP services leading to expansion and improvements of delivery services
- The postal & courier activities industry in the Netherlands ranked fourth in Europe in 2022 (out of 25 total EU countries). The industry's rank (fourth) has remained the same since 2017. As of 2022, there were 10,070 businesses engaged in postal & courier activities in the Netherlands, which was an increase of 5% from 2021. The presence of more CEP services is predicted as CEP values are expected to register a CAGR of 5.09% during 2023-2029 owing to rising demand. In 2020, UPS had the highest market share in cross-border parcel transport in the Netherlands, with 45%, whereas DPD’s market share amounted to 15%. PostNL, which dominates the domestic postal and parcel services, had a market share of roughly 20%.
- Parcel deliveries in the country had an average transit time of 1.7 days in 2021, owing to an increase in parcel volumes throughout the year. Around 95.2% of domestic parcels in the Netherlands were successfully delivered on the first attempt in 2021, resulting in a marginal increase since H2 2020. The popularity of collection points has been progressively growing in the Netherlands, though customers are still more receptive toward doorstep deliveries.
- E-commerce is a main driver of demand for domestic and international CEP services in the country, with e-commerce revenue projected to reach USD 26.35 billion in 2023. The revenue is expected to show further growth to reach a projected market value of USD 36.75 billion by 2027. The number of users in the e-commerce industry is expected to amount to 13.4 million users by 2025, thus leading to increased CEP service demand.
