Courier, Express & Parcel Services Although the courier, express and parcel services sector faces weak economic conditions, it is benefitting from the growth in e-commerce sales, increasing demand for just-in-time deliveries and from the poor service provided by the post office. Increasing customer demand for speedy and flexible deliveries and the growth of disruptive startups and innovative delivery options are forcing traditional operators to review their distribution strategies and in some cases partner with or invest in new disruptive on-demand delivery companies to provide innovative and alternative delivery options. While the poor economy and low business and consumer confidence are ffecting the volume of goods requiring express delivery, the development of the on-demand economy is providing growth drivers for the industry.
