Geopost de­liv­ered “solid vol­ume growth” in 2025

Geopost de­liv­ered “solid vol­ume growth” in 2025

In 2025, Geo­post posted a 5% in­crease in vol­umes and con­tin­ued to im­prove on its key growth seg­ments, de­spite one of the most de­mand­ing mar­ket en­vi­ron­ments faced by the par­cel de­liv­ery and lo­gis­tics sec­tor in re­cent years.

Sales broadly sta­ble, vol­umes up; prof­itabil­ity im­pacted in a very chal­leng­ing year:

  • Over 2.2 bil­lion parcels han­dled world­wide (+5% vs 2024).
  • Sales of €15.8 bil­lion, up +0.3% year-​on-​year. Par­cel/ex­press sales amounted to €13.601 bil­lion, up +2.7%.
  • Op­er­at­ing profit (EBIT) of €466 mil­lion, im­pacted by in­tense com­pet­i­tive pres­sure, per­sis­tent pric­ing con­straints and sus­tained cost in­fla­tion.

Ac­cel­er­at­ing growth in strate­gic seg­ments:

  • Out-​of-​Home: a +31% in­crease in OOH vol­umes in Eu­rope, con­firm­ing out-​of-​home as a struc­tural growth dri­ver, sup­ported by a net­work of more than 150,000 pick-​up points, across Eu­rope.
  • In­ter­na­tional de­liv­ery: +6.5% growth in cross-​border sales, re­flect­ing the in­creas­ing scale and in­te­gra­tion of Geo­post’s in­ter­na­tional net­work.
  • Spe­cialised de­liv­ery: food vol­umes up +7%, with temperature-​controlled ac­tiv­ity up +11%.

Re­duc­tion in green­house gas emis­sions for the fourth con­sec­u­tive year:

  • A 1.6% re­duc­tion in 2025 com­pared with 2024, re­sult­ing in 1.71 mil­lion tonnes of CO2 equiv­a­lent1.
  • Con­tin­ued de­ploy­ment of low-​emission ve­hi­cles, reach­ing 12,249 by the end of 2025, rep­re­sent­ing 17.3% of Geo­post’s de­liv­ery fleet.
  • In 2025, 18.4% of Geo­post’s road trans­port kilo­me­tres were com­pleted using al­ter­na­tive en­ergy sources.

In­no­va­tion and data-​driven plat­forms to sup­port value cre­ation:

  • Geo­post Vi­sion: launch of a new data-​driven ven­ture lever­ag­ing Geo­post’s de­liv­ery net­work to pro­vide large-​scale, high-​frequency street-​level im­agery for mo­bil­ity stake­hold­ers.
  • Con­tin­ued de­ploy­ment of myDPD which reached 38.5 mil­lion users as well as Geo­post’s Eu­ro­pean SME dis­cov­ery plat­form, Sin­gu­lar, now avail­able in 6 coun­tries, en­abling mil­lions of e-​shoppers to dis­cover and pur­chase from local Eu­ro­pean brands.

Com­ment­ing on these re­sults, Yves Del­mas, Chief Ex­ec­u­tive Of­fi­cer of Geo­post, said: “De­spite a highly de­mand­ing mar­ket en­vi­ron­ment in 2025, marked by in­tense com­pet­i­tive pres­sure and sus­tained cost in­fla­tion, Geo­post de­liv­ered solid vol­ume growth. In this con­text, we strength­ened our hy­brid model and our de­liv­ery net­work, serv­ing both B2B and B2C cus­tomers, at home and out-​of-​home, do­mes­ti­cally and in­ter­na­tion­ally.

While prof­itabil­ity was im­pacted by ex­ter­nal pres­sures across the parcels and ex­press sec­tor, we re­mained fo­cused on dis­ci­plined ex­e­cu­tion and on adapt­ing our op­er­a­tions to a rapidly evolv­ing mar­ket. Geo­post has been in­vest­ing for many years in the levers that un­der­pin its re­silience, in­clud­ing the de­vel­op­ment of out-​of-​home so­lu­tions, in­ter­na­tional con­nec­tiv­ity and spe­cialised ser­vices.

At the same time, we con­tin­ued to pur­sue our sus­tain­abil­ity am­bi­tions, re­duc­ing our CO2 emis­sions for the fourth con­sec­u­tive year.

Sus­tain­abil­ity and in­no­va­tion are at the core of our long-​term strat­egy, and we are com­mit­ted more than ever in in­vest­ing in the trans­for­ma­tion of our net­work to sup­port fu­ture growth.”

Sales broadly sta­ble in 2025, with con­tin­ued vol­ume growth

Against a mar­ket en­vi­ron­ment that re­mained highly chal­leng­ing through­out 2025, Geo­post recorded total sales of €15.8 bil­lion in 2025, an in­crease of +0.3% com­pared with 2024.

De­mand re­mained strong in cer­tain seg­ments in 2025, lead­ing to sus­tained vol­ume growth, par­tic­u­larly in Eu­rope, dur­ing the year. How­ever, in­tense com­pe­ti­tion, ram­pant cost in­fla­tion and struc­tural pres­sure weighed heav­ily on the over­all per­for­mance of the parcels/ex­press sec­tor.

Par­cel/ex­press sales amounted to €13.601 bil­lion, up 2.7%. Vol­umes han­dled to­talled 2,244 mil­lion parcels (up 5% on 2024), rep­re­sent­ing more than 8 mil­lion parcels de­liv­ered per day.

  • Geo­post’s 2025 peak pe­riod was par­tic­u­larly suc­cess­ful with the de­liv­ery of 392 mil­lion parcels across Eu­rope, a 9.1% in­crease com­pared to 2024. Peak day was recorded on 1 De­cem­ber, with 12.2 mil­lion parcels processed (+4.8% vs 2024).
  • In this con­text, B2C vol­umes were par­tic­u­larly strong with a 9% in­crease on 2024.
  • The five main Eu­ro­pean mar­kets (Ger­many, United King­dom, France, Poland and Italy) ac­counted for 63% of total sales in 2025. While the UK ex­pe­ri­enced a slight de­cline and sales in Italy re­mained sta­ble, Ger­many and France posted pos­i­tive growth rates.
  • Sev­eral other Eu­ro­pean coun­tries also saw strong growth in­clud­ing Croa­tia (+13.1%), Poland (+10.8%) and Ire­land (+7.7%).

Asendia, the joint ven­ture be­tween La Poste and Swiss Post ded­i­cated to cross-​border e-​commerce and dig­i­tal ser­vices for e-​merchants (ESW), gen­er­ated sales of €2.246 bil­lion. Lo­gis­tics ac­tiv­i­ties de­clined by €154 mil­lion in highly com­pet­i­tive mar­kets, es­pe­cially due to lower vol­umes to France. Dig­i­tal ac­tiv­i­ties (ESW) de­clined by €146 mil­lion, re­flect­ing lower ac­tiv­ity from long-​standing cus­tomers, par­tially off­set by the ramp-​up of more re­cently ac­quired cus­tomers. In 2025, ESW an­nounced a strate­gic agree­ment with Shopify, aimed at equip­ping en­ter­prise brands with the tools to scale and lo­cal­ize their dig­i­tal com­merce op­er­a­tions across more than 200 in­ter­na­tional mar­kets.

Geo­post’s op­er­at­ing profit (EBIT) stood at €466 mil­lion, down €158 mil­lion year-​on-​year, re­flect­ing sig­nif­i­cant pres­sure on mar­gins across the par­cel and ex­press sec­tor.

Total in­ter­nal in­vest­ments also ramped up, reach­ing €443 mil­lion, with a strong focus on sort­ing ca­pac­ity, IT, lock­ers and fleet tran­si­tion in­fra­struc­ture, sup­port­ing both op­er­a­tional ef­fi­ciency and long-​term growth pri­or­i­ties.

Geo­post strength­ens the ex­pan­sion of its out-​of-​home net­work and ac­cel­er­ates growth in spe­cialised and in­ter­na­tional de­liv­er­ies

Out-​of-​home de­liv­ery re­mained a strate­gic dri­ver in 2025 for Geo­post, with vol­umes grow­ing by 31%, as Geo­post con­tin­ued to ex­pand its ca­pa­bil­i­ties and scale so­lu­tions meet­ing both ship­per re­quire­ments and con­sumer ex­pec­ta­tions for flex­i­bil­ity and con­ve­nience2. The com­pany’s pan-​European out-​of-​home net­work fur­ther grew and today of­fers con­sumers and clients more than 150,000 pick-​up points across Eu­rope, in­clud­ing more than 100,000 par­cel shops and 50,000 lock­ers. Geo­post plans to fur­ther ex­pand its net­work in 2026, both in­cre­men­tally and through solid part­ner­ships.
Geo­post also ac­cel­er­ated across key growth seg­ments, re­spond­ing to chang­ing con­sumer be­hav­iours and e-​commerce flows. Cross-​border sales grew by 6.5% in 2025, sup­ported by Geo­post’s in­te­grated in­ter­na­tional net­work. In par­al­lel, Geo­post strength­ened its po­si­tion­ing in C2C, meet­ing in­creas­ing ex­pec­ta­tions for flex­i­bil­ity, re­li­a­bil­ity and sus­tain­abil­ity, as well as in spe­cialised de­liv­er­ies, with food vol­umes up 7% and temperature-​controlled ac­tiv­ity up 11%. In 2025, 8 coun­tries offer tem­per­a­ture con­trol de­liv­er­ies to restau­rants, pro­duc­ers, re­tail­ers, and food in­dus­try pro­fes­sion­als.

Sus­tain­abil­ity re­mains at the core of Geo­post’s strat­egy

In 2025, Geo­post main­tained the pro­gres­sive trans­for­ma­tion of its low-​emission fleets. By the end of the year, 12,249 low-​emission ve­hi­cles, rep­re­sent­ing 17.3% of the de­liv­ery fleet, were de­ployed across Eu­rope, and 18.4% of the total line­haul kilo­me­tres were com­pleted using al­ter­na­tive en­ergy sources. For the fourth year in a row, Geo­post’s net­work teams re­duced CO₂ emis­sions in ab­solute terms by 1.6% com­pared with 2024.

Geo­post is also di­ver­si­fy­ing its HGV fleet by in­te­grat­ing al­ter­na­tive pow­er­trains and fuels, such as elec­tric and bio­fu­els. Cur­rently, Geo­post op­er­ates elec­tric and biofuel-​powered trucks in the UK, Spain, France, Belux, Czech Re­pub­lic, Es­to­nia, Ire­land, the Nether­lands, Switzer­land and Ger­many.

At the same time, Geo­post is im­prov­ing the en­vi­ron­men­tal per­for­mance of its fa­cil­i­ties by tran­si­tion­ing to re­new­able en­ergy sources. As of today, 61.1% of the com­pany’s total en­ergy con­sump­tion comes from re­new­able sources.

In recog­ni­tion of its ap­proach to sus­tain­able fi­nance and de­car­bon­i­sa­tion gov­er­nance, Geo­post was awarded the “Sus­tain­able Fi­nance Ini­tia­tive” prize at the World Sus­tain­abil­ity Awards 2025, no­tably for the mo­men­tum dri­ven by its Car­bon Bud­get ini­tia­tive.

En­hanced value propo­si­tion for cus­tomers through dig­i­tal plat­forms

Geo­post stepped up its cus­tomer value propo­si­tion, no­tably for SMEs. Two ad­di­tional Geo­post sub­sidiaries, DPD France and DPD Nether­lands, de­ployed Sin­gu­lar, a dig­i­tal plat­form de­signed to cre­ate new com­mer­cial op­por­tu­ni­ties for SME cus­tomers.

Since its launch, the plat­form has en­abled con­sumers to dis­cover unique and au­then­tic Eu­ro­pean prod­ucts. Sin­gu­lar now in­ter­con­nects con­sumers from 6 major Eu­ro­pean coun­tries (Italy, Spain, France, the Nether­lands, Croa­tia and Slove­nia) to ref­er­enced e-​merchants with European-​wide vis­i­bil­ity, sup­port­ing cross-​border growth for SMEs.

In­no­va­tion and data-​driven ex­cel­lence

Fi­nally, in 2025, Geo­post fur­ther in­vested in the evo­lu­tion of its busi­ness and the de­vel­op­ment of new ca­pa­bil­i­ties. It no­tably launched Geo­post Vi­sion in 11 Eu­ro­pean coun­tries, a new ven­ture re­flect­ing the Group’s am­bi­tion to sup­port the de­vel­op­ment of re­silient, data-​driven in­fra­struc­ture and ser­vices in Eu­rope. By lever­ag­ing its de­liv­ery net­work to pro­vide up-​to-​date and gran­u­lar street-​level im­agery at scale, Geo­post Vi­sion aims to con­tribute to the im­prove­ment of mo­bil­ity ser­vices for a broad range of stake­hold­ers, in­clud­ing plat­forms, cities and cit­i­zens.
