Key Market Trends Fueling Growth

The last-mile delivery (LMD) model integration with e-commerce vendors is a significant market trend, driven by the increasing demand for instant delivery services. This growth is particularly noticeable in the instant delivery market, where high capital investments are being made in startups and venture firms. The e-commerce sector is responding by introducing new delivery models, such as hub-and-spoke and LMD, to cater to customer needs. These models include postal mail run, crowd shipping, courier delivery, and delivery to lockers. Despite the popularity of instant delivery, price remains a key decision factor for over half of online customers. However, for certain product categories like medicines and groceries, customers prefer traditional purchasing methods due to longer delivery times. To differentiate themselves, major e-commerce players like Amazon, Myntra, e-bay, and Flipkart are focusing on faster delivery services, leading to increased alliances with logistics vendors and market growth during the forecast period. 

The Courier, Express and Parcel (CEP) market is currently experiencing significant growth, driven by the increasing demand for fast and reliable delivery services. Domestic and international shipping volumes are on the rise, with a particular focus on e-commerce and business-to-business transactions. Technologies such as automation and real-time tracking are trending, allowing for more efficient and transparent operations. Delivery companies are also expanding their networks and services, offering new options like same-day and overnight delivery. Additionally, the use of manufacturing hubs and distribution centers is becoming more common to reduce delivery times and costs. Overall, the CEP market is evolving to meet the changing needs of consumers and businesses alike.
