Parcel And Postal Automation Systems Market Growth Momentum: Which Factors Are Influencing Demand?
The rising volume of packages and shipments is anticipated to drive the expansion of the parcel and postal automation systems market. Packages and shipments refer to the preparation, transport, and delivery of goods from one location to another, with packages serving as distinct units of items and shipments representing the collective consignment of packages sent to a common destination. This growing number of packages and shipments is fueled by increased e-commerce activity, facilitated by technological advances and evolving consumer preferences, leading to heightened global demand for logistics services. Parcel and postal automation systems are utilized for packages and shipments to optimize sorting, tracking, and delivery processes using advanced technologies, thereby ensuring efficient handling and timely delivery. For example, in 2023, data from the parcel shipping index by Pitney Bowes Inc. revealed that the total US parcel volume saw a notable increase of 0.5% compared to the preceding year, surging from 21.5 billion units in 2022 to 21.7 billion units in 2023. Consequently, the increasing number of packages and shipments is a primary driver for the growth of the parcel and postal automation systems market.

Parcel And Postal Automation Systems Market Innovation Trends Driving Future Development
Leading companies operating in the parcel and postal automation systems market are prioritizing advanced technologies, such as robot-based parcel sortation technology, to secure a competitive advantage. This robot-based parcel sortation technology is a cutting-edge system that employs autonomously guided robots to streamline the parcel sorting process within logistics operations. These robots are capable of processing thousands of parcels per hour, significantly increasing order throughput speed and reducing error rates to nearly zero. For example, in January 2024, Viettel Post (VTPost), a Vietnam-based logistics company, adopted 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 provides VTPost with the capacity to process approximately 6,000 parcels of various sizes, weights, and shapes every hour at the multi-client site. The system incorporates more than 1,000 destination chutes, and when robots reach their assigned chute, they stop running to deposit their parcel before returning to an induction station, collecting another order, and recommencing the process.
