The report sets out the market structure, size, growth, key trends and competitive landscape of the parcels market in this part of Europe.
The report covers 13 countries: Poland, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Ukraine, Bulgaria, Croatia, and Belarus.
The market is served by a combination of integrators (UPS, FedEx and DHL), national postal operators and other privately owned carriers. The report reviews the performance of the leading carriers and evaluates their prospects.
The publisher's definition of the parcels market includes domestic, intra-European and international parcels. It also includes business-to-business, business-to- consumer and consumer consigned parcels.
Parcel weight definitions vary, between operators and countries, but most describe parcels up to various weights approaching 40 kg.
All service levels are included (time definite and deferred).
Adjacent services, such as mail, pallet distribution, groupage, freight forwarding, same day delivery, two-man delivery, fulfilment and contract logistics are excluded.
Market values are presented on a constant currency basis using average exchange rates for 2021 YTD unless otherwise stated.
2020 has been a year of major disruption, with economic growth severely impacted across virtually all of the region while online retail has increased, albeit from a low base.
While the picture varies from country to country, the relatively low level of online retail means that, in most markets, there has not been a similar jump in market size to that seen in most western markets.
