Express sector faces gap between volume growth and profitability
A Transport Intelligence report says the global express and parcels market grew 5.8% in 2025 to €577.3bn, while pricing pressure and competition make it harder for carriers to convert volumes into profit.
The global express and parcels market expanded by 5.8% in 2025 to €577.3bn ($642.6bn), according to the Global Express & Parcels 2026 report by Transport Intelligence. The same report projected the market at €609.1bn this year and €760.1bn by 2030, implying compound annual growth of about 5.7%.
Those headline figures nevertheless point to a widening divide between volume growth and profitable growth. Carriers are facing mounting pricing pressure, changing trade flows and stronger competition.
The forecast indicates continued expansion, but the material does not provide details on how individual operators or routes are affected.
