Package delivery services refer to the transport and delivery of parcels and packages from sender to recipient, including courier, express, and postal deliveries. The demand for package delivery services is increasing because e‑commerce sales continue to rise and consumers expect faster delivery. Postal automation supports package delivery services by enabling automated sorting, cancellation, separation, and orientation of mail and parcels, thereby increasing throughput, reducing errors, and lowering operational costs. For instance, in November 2023, according to Transport Intelligence, a UK‑based logistics intelligence firm, global parcel volumes were expected to grow by 4.7% year‑on‑year to around 189,120 million parcels in 2023. Therefore, the demand for package delivery services is driving the growth of the postal automation industry.
