Poland Courier, Express, and Parcel (CEP) Market Analysis

The size of the Poland Courier, Express, and Parcel (CEP) market is USD 2.79 billion in the current year and is anticipated to register a CAGR of over 6.76% during the forecast period. 

• COVID-19 has impacted all Polish sectors except the CEP segment in the e-commerce sector. When lockdowns eased in 2021, the CEP market grew strongly across all sectors. The market is primarily driven by the growing e-commerce industry in the country and the cross-border deliveries across the European Union. The Polish business market consists of more than 20,000 online stores that belong to various industries and offers home deliveries across Poland and the majority of locations across the region.
• The CEP sector is one of the fastest-growing service industries in Poland right now, largely because of the rising trend of logistics outsourcing, changes in the retail sales structure (particularly the growth of e-commerce), the demand for faster delivery times, and the need to reduce stocks.
• The majority of European CEP operators and all major global corporations are present in the Polish market. In Poland, CEP entities also include the national postal service, which has enhanced its competitiveness in the market over the past few years. Some businesses with Polish roots provide services outside of Poland. Local service brokers and couriers are also prevalent.
• The same-day deliveries have helped the market expand exponentially, primarily led by the deliveries of clothing, books, small consumer electronics, footwear, cosmetics, etc. The growing e-commerce industry is driving the express delivery market due to the rising demand from the B2C business segment.
• The way CEP operators think and behave has evolved and is continuing to change as a result of e-commerce. E-commerce has influenced the development of service features such as afternoon or evening deliveries, specialised IT tools to support Interactive Delivery Management, or IDM, and specialised product offerings such as pre-paid services and "out of house" delivery.
• The large middle class and young population group in Poland are anticipated to drive the demand for quick deliveries, focusing more on perishable goods that require express delivery. The pricing strategies of the key players are projected to drive the market with an increasing number of small players entering the market.
• The domestic players are also focusing on mergers and partnerships with other players to expand their customer base and total addressable market.
