The highest daily business volume has exceeded 729 million parcels. This has accelerated the promotion of industrial upgrading, stimulated production and consumption, woven a smooth flow network, and made important contributions to the smooth economic cycle. The market size continues to expand. Since May this year, the monthly express delivery volume in China has exceeded 14 billion pieces, which has become the norm.

The basic industry capabilities are gradually increasing. Express delivery companies continue to promote infrastructure construction, and have built and put into use transfer centers and smart supply chain industrial parks in Linping, Dongguan, Baoying, Fuzhou, and other places in Zhejiang Province. They have also centralized the renovation of distribution centers and effectively improved the sorting efficiency of mainline networks by configuring intelligent sorting equipment and expanding the capacity of work sites. The comprehensive transportation capacity is also continuously improving. In terms of aviation, the industry's own airlines have opened all cargo routes such as "Shenzhen=Kuala Lumpur" and "Ezhou=Hong Kong", which have strengthened their air cargo capacity and continuously expanded their coverage. In terms of land transportation, express delivery companies and transportation companies have strengthened cooperation and promoted new delivery models such as "subway+express delivery" and "bus+express delivery" in multiple places, promoting cost reduction and efficiency improvement in same city delivery. In terms of unmanned transportation, express delivery companies are actively exploring new models of low altitude delivery and exploring new economic scenarios at low altitudes. At present, it is the season for navel oranges to be launched. Zhongtong Express's Zigui branch in Hubei has replaced "orange carrying customers" with drones, which not only helps farmers reduce picking and transportation costs, but also improves collection efficiency. According to data from the State Post Bureau, the development index of express delivery in China was 464.4 in October this year, a year-on-year increase of 21.1%. Wang Yuehan introduced that since the beginning of this year, express delivery companies have actively expanded their service areas, accelerated the application of new technologies and models, and steadily improved their peak season guarantee level, providing strong support for expanding new development space and unleashing new consumption capabilities. It is expected that the industry will continue to maintain a steady growth trend in the fourth quarter. Since the beginning of this year, the regional development structure of the postal and express delivery industry has become more balanced. 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. According to data from the State Post Bureau, in the first three quarters of this year, the proportion of express delivery services in the eastern, central, and western regions accounted for 72.6%, 18.6%, and 8.8% of the national total, respectively. Compared with the same period last year, the proportion of express delivery services in the central and western regions increased by 1.3 and 0.9 percentage points, respectively. The 150th package in China this year was sent by Zhang Pengfei, a merchant of Huaniu Apple. Zhang Pengfei said that in the past, local apples were often unable to sell at a high price due to limited market sales. Nowadays, online platforms mainly promote the upward model of "group buying+direct delivery from the place of origin" for agricultural products, which has greatly increased product awareness. The daily average shipment volume during the peak period this year has exceeded 6000 orders. Apples shipped from Tianshui can be delivered to consumers in Chongqing within two to three days, "said Gui Ning, Vice President of Jitu Express. With the continuous sinking of delivery services, the channels for agricultural products to enter the city and consumer goods to enter the countryside have become more smooth. The melon seeds in Changji, Xinjiang, the yak meat in Linzhi, Xizang... more unique agricultural products in the central and western regions reach thousands of households through the efficient operation of the express network. In Waba Village, Garze Town, Garze County, Sichuan Province, many villagers have chosen to purchase electrical appliances online this year. Not only daily necessities, but also large household appliances can now be delivered to the village, "said villager Zhuoma. During this year's" Double 11 "period, she bought a TV on the JD platform by exchanging old for new. Not only did it cost more than 700 yuan, but she also enjoyed one-time home delivery, installation, debugging, and recycling services. Lin Hu, spokesperson for the State Post Bureau and director of the Market Supervision Department, introduced that a total of 337800 village level postal and logistics comprehensive service stations with "one point, multiple functions, and one station, multiple uses" have been built nationwide, and more villagers have achieved doorstep express delivery. At the beginning of this year, the State Post Bureau proposed to continuously optimize e-commerce express delivery services to some regions, guide major express delivery companies to optimize their operating models, promote e-commerce platforms to improve their sales methods, and achieve the goal of "sending every package" for express delivery companies. At present, in the central and western regions, express enterprises are constantly increasing the supply of delivery services and increasing the investment in transport capacity in remote areas such as Xizang. E-commerce platforms have also responded one after another, further diluting the logistics costs of goods going to rural areas and promoting more high-quality goods to be directly connected to remote areas. Zhang Pengfei introduced that due to shipping costs, his Pinduoduo store rarely shipped to Xinjiang before. "Now there is no such concern, and the logistics transfer fees for orders sent to remote areas are borne by the platform," he said. It is understood that in September this year, Pinduoduo, on the basis of its pioneering transfer package mail model, announced that all merchants' logistics transfer fees in remote areas such as Xinjiang, Xizang, Qinghai, Gansu, Ningxia and Inner Mongolia would be borne by the platform, further accelerating the pace of "e-commerce moving westward" and stimulating the market potential of the central and western regions. Express delivery companies and e-commerce have formed an organic integration, mutual promotion, and complementary relationship Wang Yuehan believes that in order to better promote the vigorous development of the online economy, express delivery companies should continue to strengthen their close cooperation with e-commerce platforms. On the one hand, improve the service system and innovate service models. Focusing on new e-commerce, new groups, and new fields, enriching comprehensive service solutions, promoting the hierarchical classification of express delivery services, strengthening investment in cold chain facilities and equipment, and better meeting the diversified service needs of consumers. On the other hand, we will increase technological empowerment and enhance service capabilities.
