Poland Express Delivery Market Segmentation by International and Domestic Express Deliveries International courier has majorly contributed to the revenues of express logistics in the country. With the development of well-planned road infrastructure and air transport network in the country and good connectivity with European, North American and Asian countries through road and air routes has resulted in an increase in the demand for express delivery for international shipment in the country. On the other hand, high internet penetration in the country and growth of ecommerce industry has aided market revenue for domestic express delivery services. Poland E-commerce Logistics Market Currently, there are about 23,000 online stores operating on the Polish market, the vast majority of which are medium-sized or small, which send up to fifteen parcels a day. About 7,000 new online stores are opened in Poland every year. A similar number is being closed, but the number of companies related to online sales is increasing from year to year. Packages dispatched and delivered as part of e-commerce operations have parameters different to the TSL model (transport, shipping, and logistics). The predominant weight for packages dispatched by online shops is between 1-5 kg (43%). The most-bought articles are clothing, footwear, books, electronics and cosmetics. Interestingly, the limited offer of traditional stores in towns with less than 20,000 inhabitants makes shopping online more popular, which in turn is a serious challenge for efficient and timely delivery.
