Postal Automation Market Expansion Supported By Key Demand Factors
The future expansion of the postal automation market is anticipated to be driven by the increasing need for package delivery services. These services encompass the movement and handover of parcels and packages from their origin to their destination, covering courier, express, and postal options. The escalating demand for these services stems from the continuous growth in e-commerce sales and consumers’ desire for quicker delivery times. Postal automation facilitates package delivery by allowing for the automated sorting, cancellation, separation, and orientation of mail and parcels, which in turn boosts throughput, minimizes errors, and decreases operational expenses. As an illustration, in November 2023, Transport Intelligence, a UK-based logistics intelligence firm, projected global parcel volumes to expand by 4.7% year-on-year, reaching approximately 189,120 million parcels in 2023. Consequently, the rising need for package delivery services is a primary catalyst for the expansion of the postal automation market.

#Postal Automation Market Trends Influencing Long-Term Demand
Major companies active in the postal automation market are prioritizing the creation and adoption of automation technologies, including robot-based parcel sortation systems, to boost processing speed, refine accuracy, and lessen manual effort. Robot-based parcel sortation systems specifically involve solutions that utilize autonomous guided robots for the automatic management, sorting, and routing of parcels within storage and distribution facilities, thereby enabling high-throughput operations with reduced human involvement. As an illustration, in January 2024, Viettel Post (VTPost), a Vietnamese logistics provider, introduced a robot-based parcel sortation system featuring 160 LiBiao Mini Yellow autonomous guided robots at its Hanoi storage and distribution hub. This system incorporates over 1,000 destination chutes, is capable of processing approximately 6,000 parcels of varying sizes, weights, and shapes per hour, and permits robots to automatically deposit parcels before returning to induction stations for new tasks. Engineered to streamline operations on both the supply and demand sides, the system effectively cuts down on labor-intensive sorting, standardizes workflows across different facilities, and speeds up parcel handling during e-commerce peaks while upholding low error rates.
