Growth outlook for the Parcel industry in India

Parcel industry in India is expected to grow at a CAGR of about 17% over the next three years to Rs 17,450 crores (USD 3.5 billion) in 2014-15 from Rs 10,870 crores (USD 2.2 billion) in 2011-12.

The growth of the industry will be driven by the current major customer segments, namely auto components, banking & finance, garments, pharmaceuticals, IT hardware and mobile phones.

In addition, new segments like organized retail, e-commerce and others are expected to emerge as major customer segments in the medium term.

Structure of the Parcel Industry in India

The industry is fragmented with a large number of small and medium-sized players operating with local and regional networks.

It is increasingly consolidating with the growth of a few large players who have nationwide reach.

Document shipments provide the largest volume while non-document shipments have higher share by value.

Domestic market contributes to a larger share of the industry compared to the international market.

Distribution of Domestic Shipments

Within the domestic market, intra-city and top four metros form the top two segments, together accounting for almost two thirds of the markets by volumes

while metros and large cities make up more than half. This also indicates that the express services market is

presently dominated by the large urban locations and that there is lower penetration of express services in the smaller cities.

This trend is changing as economic activity in others regions have been growing.

The express services providers have also been expanding their branch network to these regions to cater to these requirements.

Distribution of International Shipments

Distribution of International Shipments

Among international destinations, USA and Europe are the major segments.

In terms of number of shipments, accounting for 47% of the document shipments and 54% of the non-document shipments with Middle East and South East Asia being other major destinations.

The international express market caters to the foreign trade and the destination distribution pattern follows the foreign trade pattern for the country.

e-Commerce Industry

The e-Commerce industry was in its infancy for the larger part of the previous decade.

In last three years, the industry has witnessed an incredible growth of 150 percent, increasing from USD 3.8 billion (INR 19,249 crores) in 2009 to USD 9.5 billion (INR 47,349 crores) in 2012.

e-Commerce Industry

This growing industry will also have a positive spillover effect on associated industries such as parcel and logistics.

Currently e-Commerce accounts for 15-20 percent of the total revenues for some of the big logistics companies.

The revenue for logistics industry from inventory based consumer e-Commerce alone may grow by 70 times to USD 2.6 Billion (INR 14,300 crores) by 2020.

The industry players also offer services like call centres/customer service numbers to resolve queries on bookings and shipments and web-based track and trace system.

The industry also provides customized services to suit the needs of its various customers.

One of the more customer responsive industries.
