On November 17th, on the big screen of the China Express Big Data Platform of the Postal Industry Security Center of the State Post Bureau, a long string of numbers kept scrolling. At 16:29, the screen flickered and "15000000000" froze on the screen. Meanwhile, more than a thousand kilometers away in Tianshui, Gansu, a box of Huaniu apples ordered on Pinduoduo and picked up by a courier from Jitu Express, which was about to be sent to Chongqing, was grabbed and locked, becoming the 150th express shipment of the year. At this point, the annual volume of express delivery services in China has exceeded the 150 billion mark for the first time, setting a new historical record. Behind 150 billion parcels is a more prosperous and active express delivery market. Since the beginning of this year, China's express delivery industry has continuously improved in terms of quality and efficiency, accelerating industrial upgrading, driving production and consumption, and making important contributions to improving economic efficiency and promoting smooth economic circulation, with an annual average of over 100 parcels received per person and an average of more than 5400 parcels generated per second. Behind 150 billion parcels is a more balanced regional development structure. From melon seeds in Changji, Xinjiang, yak meat in Linzhi, Xizang, to soft pear in Lanzhou, Gansu, and kiwi fruit in Zhouzhi, Shaanxi... more unique Midwest specialties have reached thousands of households through the efficient operation of the express network. Since the beginning of this year, the proportion of express delivery in the central and western regions has continued to increase, and the growth rate of business volume has exceeded the national average level. The generation of 150 billion parcels is driven by favorable macro policies. Since the beginning of this year, multiple departments and regions have accelerated the introduction of supportive policies to promote consumption, taking the implementation of large-scale equipment updates and the trade in of consumer goods as an opportunity to continuously enrich consumption scenarios, explore sinking markets, consolidate the current sustained positive development trend, and drive strong growth in express delivery business volume. Thanks to the increasingly sophisticated top-level design, efficient and accessible service network, and widespread application of intelligent technology, express delivery companies continue to improve their infrastructure construction, actively layout advanced technology equipment such as unmanned vehicles, drones, and intelligent sorting. The industry's transportation and transportation capabilities are increasing, the network system is gradually improving, and service efficiency and quality are effectively improved. In recent years, the central and western regions of China have continuously strengthened the construction of express delivery infrastructure, put into operation and expanded distribution centers in multiple places, optimized trunk transportation routes, and improved the efficiency of delivery network transportation. The booming development of the express delivery market will play a positive role in expanding online consumer demand in the central and western regions, and also provide strong support for further consolidating and enhancing the positive momentum of economic recovery The relevant person in charge of the National Post Office stated.
