Courier, Express and Parcel Services in South Africa 2023: eCommerce Revenue Growth Set to Accelerate

Dublin, April 10, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The “Courier, Express and Parcel Services (Other than national postal services) in South Africa 2023” report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.

The Courier, Express and Parcel Services Industry

The courier, express and parcel services industry faces weak economic conditions and low business and consumer confidence, affecting the volume of goods requiring express delivery. It is benefitting from the development of the on-demand economy and ecommerce sales, increasing demand for just-in-time deliveries and from the poor service provided by the South African Post Office.

Increasing customer demand for speedy and flexible deliveries and the growth of disruptive startups and innovative delivery options are forcing traditional operators to review their distribution strategies and, in some cases, partner with or invest in new companies to provide innovative and alternative delivery options.

Key Trends

Ecommerce revenue growth is set to accelerate, including consumer-to-consumer transactions online.

Companies are developing value-added services such as setting up and installing equipment being delivered and increasing delivery options. CEP companies are offering shared warehousing, technology and services to smaller ecommerce entities, opening up more opportunities and enhancing job creation and skills development.

Crime

Road transportation is the main modality for moving goods in South Africa and to other countries in the region. The rate of violent crime against road freight trucks is high and industry participants have raised concern over the rise in thefts targeting scooters and courier vehicles. There have been reports of an upsurge in robberies and violent crimes against ecommerce delivery staff. Theft of delivery vehicles raises insurance costs and endangers the safety of delivery personnel, resulting in higher shipping costs.
