Global Express and Small Parcels 2014: Vendors Dominating are DHL Express, FedEx and UPS
M2 - Thu Sep 11, 4:16AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/rn3x39/global_express) has announced the addition of the "Global Express and Small Parcels 2014" report to their offering. While still dominated by the likes of DHL Express, FedEx and UPS, the express and small parcel market is going through changes which it has not seen since the 1990s when the market underwent a period of mergers and acquisitions. During that time, these providers expanded their service offerings to provide a "one-shop" approach for supply chain needs. The market is evolving yet again for a number of reasons, including: - A slow growing global economy - Improvements in technology resulting in companies being able to better rationalise logistics and transportation needs - The growth of e-commerce - Changing needs and products in vertical sectors - Rising competition within the express and small parcel market Along with these reasons, consolidation has been debated for several years particularly with a focus on TNT Express as the target. The Dutch provider has undergone changes to its organisation. In 2010, TNT NV separated its divisions into two separate companies: Mail and Express. TNT NV retained a 29.9% minority financial shareholding in TNT Express. In 2012, UPS announced intentions to acquire the company but in early 2013 the European Commission ruled against the merger. It now appears that an acquisition of TNT Express is no longer on the table; major integrators and other entrants to the express and small parcel market are instead focusing on expanding parcel volumes by introducing new service solutions, as well as making partnerships and smaller regional acquisitions to expand into targeted countries, regions and sectors.

Global Express and Small Parcels 2014
M2 - Wed Jul 09, 6:02AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/s473lk/global_express) has announced the addition of the "Global Express and Small Parcels 2014" report to their offering. The major express and small parcel providers - DHL Express, FedEx, TNT Express and UPS are facing challenges in a changing market as well as increasing competition from such institutions as post offices. This developing market has been brought about by a shift in economic conditions throughout the world as well as the rise of e-commerce, that is, online retailing. Quite likely the growing acceptance of 3D printing will also bring additional unimaginable changes. Express services, international and domestic, are indeed changing. International express, which typically involves the time-definite movement of goods via air (planes owned or leased), have altered for some providers. For example, product selection has shifted away from premium solutions. In other words, customers have become more price conscious. This has added pressure to providers' margins and has resulted in changes such as rate adjustments and service levels. In addition to these developments, emerging markets within Africa, Asia Pacific, the Middle East and South America are experiencing growth in express and small parcels particularly as manufacturing moves into these markets and as a result of growing domestic demand. Domestic express, which typically involves time-definite road solutions, has also seen changes - delivery times and delivery locations are expanding as an increasing number of options are made available to a consumer who now shops not only at a physical store, but also online via a laptop, smartphone and/or tablet.

European Parcel Shop and Locker Networks: Market Insight Report 2014
M2 - Mon Jul 07, 10:51AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/gzb595/european_parcel) has announced the addition of the "European Parcel Shop and Locker Networks: Market Insight Report 2014" report to their offering. Parcel shops and locker networks are quickly being rolled out across Europe. They are rapidly becoming an essential component of the logistics operations involved in getting internet purchases into the hands of consumers while also remaining a key element of spare parts logistics operations. In addition, the networks now generate significant levels of revenue. The report gives our estimates of this, how it segments by country and type, what its key drivers are and our forecasts for revenue growth over the period to 2018. Those building networks frequently advocate them as the best solutions for long-standing problems such as last mile delivery and home-shopping returns. Networks have the potential to offer benefits to a range of different parties by providing a combination of increased convenience and lower costs. Key benefits frequently cited include improving the economics of typical parcel carrier operations through greater consolidation, increasing the success rate of consumer deliveries and hence retailers' satisfaction level, reducing time lost by field engineers travelling to the depot for spare parts and driving additional footfall and revenue to sites hosting them. This report analyses the development of these networks with particular focus on seven leading territories (France, Germany, Benelux, Italy, Poland, Spain and the UK). The study finds that networks have been rolled out most rapidly in northern European countries and that, in some countries, the number of locations now exceeds the number of post office outlets. The networks and strategies of the main operators - including parcels carriers and independents such as InPost and ByBox - are reviewed and locker manufacturers, such as KEBA, Logibag, InPost and TZ are profiled. The report includes insights from interviews with customers, profiles of the leading players, as well as growth forecasts for the market and its key drivers. Key Topics Covered: 1. Industry description 2. Market size and growth 3. Competitive landscape 4. UK 5. Germany 6. France 7. Italy 8. Spain 9. Benelux 10. Poland 11.

European Parcels: Market Insight Report 2014 / Market Overview
M2 - Thu Mar 27, 4:26AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/jcqs4l/european_parcels) has announced the addition of the "European Parcels: Market Insight Report 2014 / Market Overview" report to their offering. The parcels market has continued to grow in most countries in spite of the recession. A key factor has been the growth of home shopping. This has acted as a spur to innovation - in promoting the development of processes to improve the delivery experience, from defined time-slots, to text messages to the establishment of chains of parcel shops. In this environment industry consolidation has continued with the major networks continuing to make add-on acquisitions to fill geographical and service gaps - although the EU acted to prevent the major deal that was recently in prospect: UPS's proposed acquisition of TNT, on competition grounds. European Parcels: Market Insight Report provides an analytical overview of the European Parcels market. It attempts to portray accurately the market structure, size, growth, trends and competitive landscape. The Market Overview is a short version of the report that includes the complete Market Overview and Market Size & Growth sections but excludes Competitive Landscape and Forecasts. The definition of the parcels market includes domestic, intra-European and international parcels. It also includes business-to-business, business-to-consumer and consumer consigned parcels. Parcel weight definitions vary, between operators and countries, but most describe parcels up to various weights approaching 31.5 kg. All service levels are included (time definite and deferred). Adjacent services, such as mail, pallet distribution, groupage, freight forwarding, sameday courier and contract logistics are excluded.

European Parcels: Market Insight Report 2014 / Market Overview
M2 - Thu Mar 27, 4:26AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/jcqs4l/european_parcels) has announced the addition of the "European Parcels: Market Insight Report 2014 / Market Overview" report to their offering. The parcels market has continued to grow in most countries in spite of the recession. A key factor has been the growth of home shopping. This has acted as a spur to innovation - in promoting the development of processes to improve the delivery experience, from defined time-slots, to text messages to the establishment of chains of parcel shops. In this environment industry consolidation has continued with the major networks continuing to make add-on acquisitions to fill geographical and service gaps - although the EU acted to prevent the major deal that was recently in prospect: UPS's proposed acquisition of TNT, on competition grounds. European Parcels: Market Insight Report provides an analytical overview of the European Parcels market. It attempts to portray accurately the market structure, size, growth, trends and competitive landscape. The Market Overview is a short version of the report that includes the complete Market Overview and Market Size & Growth sections but excludes Competitive Landscape and Forecasts. The definition of the parcels market includes domestic, intra-European and international parcels. It also includes business-to-business, business-to-consumer and consumer consigned parcels. Parcel weight definitions vary, between operators and countries, but most describe parcels up to various weights approaching 31.5 kg. All service levels are included (time definite and deferred). Adjacent services, such as mail, pallet distribution, groupage, freight forwarding, sameday courier and contract logistics are excluded.
