Data from the State Post Bureau (SPB) in China has revealed that parcel volumes reached over 100 billion pieces on August 13, 71 days earlier than in 2023. According to the SPB, this achievement highlights “the prosperity and development of China’s express market and the continuous improvement of quality and efficiency” in e-commerce delivery.
Since the beginning of this year, China’s postal express industry has continued to develop rapidly, with both quantitative growth and qualitative improvement. The average monthly business volume has exceeded 13 billion pieces, and the average monthly business income has exceeded ¥100bn (US$14bn), a record high.
The SPB said that with the recovery of China’s economy and the improvement in consumer demand, “the express delivery industry has provided strong support for the development of [e-commerce] and the flow of products… under the favorable series of policies to expand domestic demand and stabilize growth.”
Tuesday’s milestone marks the fourth consecutive year that China’s annual parcel volume has surpassed 100 billion.
