What Factors Are Driving Growth In The Parcel And Postal Automation Systems Market?
Boosted by an increase in the quantity of packages and shipments, the expansion of the parcel and postal automation systems market looks promising. The term "packages and shipments" includes the preparation, conveyance, and delivery of items from one place to another. Individual items are encompassed in packages while a consignment of multiple packages sent to a single location is referred to as a shipment. The surge in packages and shipments is driven by the rise in online shopping activity, made possible by technological innovations and evolving consumer habits, culminating in a global increase in demand for logistics services. Parcel and postal automation systems are utilized in packages and shipments to optimize processes such as sorting, tracking, and delivering via cutting-edge technology, thus ensuring effective management and punctual delivery. For example, recent data from the parcel shipping index by Pitney Bowes Inc., an American shipping and mailing firm, reported a significant rise in total US parcel volume in 2023. This figure went up by 0.5% compared to the previous year, increasing specifically from 21.5 billion units in 2022 to 21.7 billion units in 2023. Consequently, this surge in package and shipment quantities is propelling growth in the parcel and postal automation systems market.

What Trends Are Shaping The Parcel And Postal Automation Systems Market?
Leading companies in the parcel and postal automation systems market are capitalizing on innovative technologies like robot-based parcel sortation technology to stay competitive. This advanced system uses autonomous robots to make the parcel sorting process in logistics operations more efficient. These robots have the capacity to process thousands of parcels per hour, significantly improving the speed of order throughput and minimizing error rates to almost zero. For example, in January 2024, the Vietnam-based logistics firm, Viettel Post (VTPost), took advantage of this fully automated robot-based parcel sortation technology by incorporating 160 LiBiao 'Mini Yellow' autonomous guided robots into its storage and distribution center in Hanoi. This updated sorting system allows VTPost to process approximately 6,000 parcels of all different sizes, weights, and shapes every hour at the multi-client location. The design of the system includes more than 1,000 destination chutes, and the robots halt at the appointed chute, drop off the parcel, and return to a starting point to pick up a new order and repeat the process.
