Abstract
Courier, express and parcel (CEP) services industry holds bright potential for
fast market growth. A basic rule for this industry is that volumes will grow
at about twice the growth rate of GDP.
Four large delivery companies (FedEx,
UPS, DHL and TNT), commonly known as integrators, dominate the worldwide
courier, express and parcel market. These companies have strengthened their
networks through international alliances, agreements and strategic
acquisitions. The opening of the Chinese express delivery market has led to
these global delivery companies upgrading their strategy in China. Another
notable trend is entry of express delivery companies into supply chain and
logistic solutions.
The report begins with a discussion of the segments of
the overall mail services market and then goes on to analyze the express
services market. All the major geographic regions -- US, Europe, Asia and EMEA
-- are analyzed alongwith their regional markets.
The report profiles the
four major express delivery companies, focusing in-depth on their business
strategies. The competitive scenario and the forces influencing the
competitive landscape have been discussed. It also analyzes the major trends
prevalent in the market.
