A recent study by Federal Express Corporation projects a significant increase in parcel deliveries across Europe during the festive season of 2024. The study, conducted by Effigy Consulting, predicts that parcel carriers will distribute 6.2 billion shipments from October to December, marking a 9% rise compared to the same period in 2023.
Effigy Consulting's analysis, based on its extensive courier, express and parcels (CEP) database with data points from over 300 carriers in 41 countries, attributes this growth to an uptick in e-commerce. Approximately 70% of these shipments are expected to be delivered directly to consumers.
Wouter Roels, Regional President of Europe at FedEx, stated: “Peak season is a critical time for the logistics sector and the countless businesses that we support. This year is expected to be the biggest since the pandemic for parcel deliveries, reflecting the strength of European ecommerce.”
