Packing & Shipping Service Franchises in the US - Industry Market Research Report

First Class: Thriving E-Commerce Revenue Will Likely Sustain the Industry's Growth

Although the Packing and Shipping Service Franchises industry has experienced a decline in its traditional mailbox services as electronic communication has increased, e-commerce has conversely boosted demand for packaging and shipping from small businesses that have increasingly begun to sell their products to faraway customers. Additionally, although competition in business services has been on the rise, leading to a net drop in the number of franchises, strong national brands have helped grow average sales for remaining franchisees. As a result, industry revenue has increased over the five years to 2018. Over the five years to 2023, industry revenue is expected to continue growing, albeit at a slower rate. Successful franchises will need to branch out into value-adding services that draw small businesses into their stores, as businesses and consumers will continue to seek more economical options to ship domestic and international packages.Establishments in this industry provide parcel packing and shipping, mailbox rental, other mail services and office support services.
