The market growth is influenced by a rapid surge in e-commerce activities and deliveries and growing urbanization, particularly in developing nations. The growing consumption of goods because of the increased global population and huge demand for contactless solutions further propelled the market's growth.

In addition, with companies investing heavily towards advancing smart parcel lockers with the integration of innovative technologies like IoT and RFID that enable these lockers to offer efficient and secure parcel delivery solutions, the adoption and demand for these lockers will increase drastically in the coming years. For instance, in November 2023, Blue Dart Express Limited introduced its new digital smart lockers in partnership with India Post, which will provide customers with an efficient alternative delivery method.
Companies have introduced smart parcel lockers with enhanced safety features and convenience. For instance, in October 2022, Aeropost announced that the company will launch its new smart parcel locker, which will be available to customers, government, financial institutions, and large organizations.
There has been a surge in companies' interest in the potential of Artificial Intelligence to transform package delivery technology as AI is being widely used to automate various key tasks in the logistics and last-mile delivery process ranging from package tracking. Also, AI applications enable robot-operated fleets of ground delivery & self-navigation drones, which effectively increase efficiency and speed while reducing the overall labor costs related to package delivery.
