"Small packages" are connected to the "big market" and are related to the "people's livelihood". The latest data shows that China's express delivery business is expected to exceed 130 billion pieces in 2023, achieving a leap from an average of 10 billion yuan per year to an average of 10 billion yuan per month, becoming the most representative industry in the modern logistics field. How do you understand this "astronomical number"? If calculated based on the average length of each package of 0.3 meters, the length of these packages connected from end to end can circle the equator of the Earth nearly 1000 times, which is equivalent to a per capita express delivery volume of over 90 items in China. The flowing sorting lines, speeding express delivery vehicles, and packages arriving as scheduled not only demonstrate the strong resilience of the express delivery industry, but also highlight the fact that the "basic structure" of China's super large market has not changed, and the increment of consumer upgrading is still continuing. Looking at the world, what does 130 billion pieces mean? Horizontally, the volume of "small packages" in China is equivalent to 6 times the express delivery volume in the United States in 2022, 14 times the express delivery volume in Japan in 2022, and 25 times the express delivery volume in the United Kingdom in 2022, accounting for more than 60% of the global express delivery volume. From a vertical perspective, with the accelerated coverage of the postal network, the volume of express delivery business has achieved an accelerated leap from tens of billions of items per year to hundreds of billions of items per year. In 2014, the annual express delivery business volume exceeded 10 billion pieces, and in 2021, the annual express delivery business volume exceeded 100 billion pieces. Starting from March 2023, the monthly express delivery business volume in China has exceeded 10 billion pieces. Small express delivery connects thousands of cities and businesses, connects thousands of households, connects online and offline, and facilitates supply and demand. In ancient times, the mysterious Western Regions are now rich in Xinjiang; In ancient times, the Camel Bell Silk Road is now known as the "express delivery artery" in the northwest. Taking YTO Express as an example, there are 7 pairs of express buses connecting Hangzhou and Urumqi every week, each carrying over 20000 packages. How can the express delivery industry stimulate new momentum for industry integration? In Cangzhou, Hebei, postal services are integrated into the forefront of the industrial and supply chains, and express delivery actively enters the factory, allowing local "business card" craft glass to be exported to more than 50 countries and regions overseas, with an annual shipment volume of over 30 million pieces. Where did the small package ultimately arrive? Nowadays, more than 3000 border villages across the country are all postal, and the Shenxianwan outpost at an altitude of 5380 meters has also been sent by express delivery. With the continuous increase in the coverage of "express delivery to villages", more than 100 million express packages enter and exit rural areas every day. Zhao Chongjiu, Director of the State Postal Administration, said that the industry will continue to maintain a steady upward trend in 2024, with an expected growth rate of around 8%. With the arrival of the wave of "intelligence", the express delivery industry will accelerate towards "strength", moving from "ubiquitous" to "always present". (Lai Xin She)
