The increase in e-commerce transactions is predicted to significantly contribute to the expansion of the worldwide internal courier sector. With the continuous growth of internet-based purchasing and selling of goods and services, the number of courier or package deliveries is naturally expected to rise, thereby boosting the need for courier delivery services. E-commerce is a concept that pertains to purchasing, selling, and transferring funds or information across digital networks, typically the internet. The medium can serve as a platform for business-to-business (B2B), business-to-consumer (B2C), consumer-to-consumer, or consumer-to-business transactions. Entities such as Amazon, eBay, Quikr, Olx, and similar online platforms exemplify e-commerce websites. E-commerce has made product discovery and purchasing more convenient via online retailers and marketplaces. It has been advantageous to individual freelancers, small and large businesses, permitting them to market and sell their products and services on a larger scale. Given these considerations, the expansion of the e-commerce sector is projected to propel the domestic couriers market during the forecasted period by amplifying courier or package delivery service opportunities within a nation.

The electronic locker delivery system is a digital locker system developed to ensure secure delivery, collection, or retrieval of packages. Each such system can include numerous individual lockers of different sizes, each fitted with a digitally managed, release-operated door latch. Every locker system is equipped with input/output devices electronically connected to an inbuilt computer. This makes it a perfect solution for apartments, dormitories, businesses, or any other settings where regular delivery of parcels and packages is a norm. For example, Packcity is a digital locker system that safely stores and delivers inbound parcels, notifies recipients when a package is received, and facilitates round-the-clock collections. Packcity is capable of storing and distributing a high volume of incoming packages. Its intuitive interface allows recipients to monitor their parcels and receive updates upon their arrival. Given that the E-locker delivery system effectively addresses the issue of increased volumes of parcel deliveries, it is believed to be a significant trend propelling the growth of the domestic courier market.
