Parcel market in Belgium - statistics & facts
Parcel services have become the main source of revenue for postal services and logistics companies across the world. The aggregate need to transport customer goods as postal services are mostly triggered by the rise in the use of the internet to shop and fulfil basic daily purchases. Despite its well-advanced market economy, Belgium still lags behind neighboring countries in terms of parcel delivery and e-commerce infrastructure. This makes the Belgian market one of the potential economies with high unexplored market potential for parcel delivery services. The volume of parcel and express services in Belgium more than quadrupled during the recent decade, reaching 336 million units by 2020. In that same year, firms operating in the Belgian parcel and express services market generated over 1.8 billion euros in revenue, up from roughly 401 million euros in 2011.
