FedEx forecasts over 476 million parcel deliveries in Türkiye this peak season

Overall in Europe, approximately 6.2 billion shipments are expected between October and December 2024—a 9% increase from last year. If laid end-to-end, these parcels would stretch over a million miles. The total weight of goods transported will be nearly 7.5 million tonnes.

During this period in Türkiye, about 73.4% of shipments are projected to be business-to-consumer (B2C), reflecting online shopping's rising popularity. Business-to-business (B2B) deliveries also see an uptick as retailers prepare for holiday demands.

Eser Sezek, Vice President Ground Operations for South-East Europe & France at FedEx stated: “Peak season is a critical time for the logistics sector and the countless businesses that we support in Türkiye... By leveraging our air and road network, we support our customers in navigating the busiest time of the year.”

Sezek further emphasized Türkiye's strategic importance: “As a strategic crossroads for global trade... FedEx is here to support business in Turkiye to explore new markets.”

The study highlights that Europe will import more goods than it exports during this period with almost half a billion parcels expected as exports from European businesses.
