Postal Automation Global Market Report 2024

Description

Postal automation involves the utilization of technology and automated systems to streamline and optimize the processing, sorting, and delivery of mail and parcels within the postal industry. Its objective is to enhance the efficiency, accuracy, and speed of postal operations while simultaneously reducing costs and improving the overall customer experience.

The primary types of postal automation include culler facer canceller, letter sorters, flat sorters, parcel sorters, mixed mail sorters, among others. The culler facer canceller serves as a pivotal component in postal automation systems, tasked with automatically segregating, orienting, and cancelling postage on envelopes and mailpieces during the sorting process. These systems comprise various components, including hardware, software, and services, utilized across diverse applications such as government postal services, courier companies, express delivery, and parcel handling.

The postal automation research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides postal automation market statistics, including the postal automation industry's global market size, regional shares, competitors with a postal automation market share, detailed postal automation market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the postal automation industry. This postal automation market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.

The postal automation market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $3.66 billion in 2023 to $3.91 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.8%. The expansion observed in the historical period can be attributed to several factors, including the growing number of online shoppers, upgrades to existing postal automation systems, increased demand for package delivery services, and the expansion of system capacities.

The postal automation market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $5.13 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.0%. The projected growth in the forecast period can be credited to the utilization of automated systems for sorting, packing, and delivering mail and packages, driven by the rapid expansion of the e-commerce industry. Additionally, leveraging cost-saving measures to enhance operational efficiency will contribute to streamlining processes. Significant trends anticipated in the forecast period include advancements in automation technologies, the formation of strategic alliances, and the introduction of cutting-edge designs.

The upward trend in the demand for package delivery services is set to drive the expansion of the postal automation market in the future. Package delivery services are companies or entities specializing in transporting packages or parcels from one location to another. This surge in demand for package delivery services stems from the growth of e-commerce and evolving consumer preferences favoring convenient shopping experiences. Postal automation is instrumental in optimizing sorting, tracking, and delivery processes for these services, thereby improving efficiency and ensuring prompt and accurate package delivery worldwide. For example, recent data from Pitney Bowes Inc., a US-based shipping and mailing company, indicates a noticeable increase in total US parcel volume in 2023, rising by 0.5% from the previous year to reach 21.7 billion units, up from 21.5 billion units in 2022. Consequently, the growing demand for package delivery services is the driving force behind the postal automation market's growth.

Key players in the postal automation market are directing their efforts toward the development and adoption of automation technologies, such as robot-based parcel sortation technology, to gain a competitive advantage. This advanced system employs autonomously guided robots to streamline parcel sorting processes in logistics operations. Capable of processing thousands of parcels per hour, these robots significantly enhance order throughput speed while reducing error rates to nearly zero. For instance, in January 2024, Viettel Post (VTPost), a Vietnam-based logistics company, implemented fully automated robot-based parcel sortation technology by installing 160 LiBiao 'Mini Yellow' autonomous guided robots at its storage and distribution hub in Hanoi. This new sorting system enables VTPost to process approximately 6,000 parcels of various sizes, weights, and shapes per hour at the multi-client site. With over 1,000 destination chutes, the system allows robots to deposit parcels at their assigned chute before returning to an induction station to collect another order and repeat the process.

In December 2021, BlueCrest, a US-based postal and parcel automation company, acquired Fluence Automation for an undisclosed sum. This strategic acquisition positions BlueCrest to offer a comprehensive range of solutions in the postal automation market, including parcel or e-commerce and vote-by-mail solutions, and to continue its growth trajectory through product innovation in both domestic and international markets. Fluence Automation, based in the US, specializes in providing automation solutions for postal, parcel, and e-commerce fulfillment.
