Posted by | Dec 19, 2006 | |

There’s only one way to go and that is UP. In 2007 we will see more new players entering the market as Asia’s economies continue to grow. Courier industry is characterized by high entry barriers. It needs huge investment in infrastructure and technology and there is intense competition in the industry. The market for courier industry can be divided into individual, corporate and small and medium enterprises. On the basis of type of delivery, it can also be divided into overnight delivery and same day delivery services.

Courier companies are using information technology to enhance the quality of their customer service and obtain competitive edge. There are only a few global courier companies like Fed Ex, DHL, UPS and TNT and there is intense competition among them with each one trying to establish its superiority. In India, presently, DHL, Blue Dart and Elbee are the major players contributing to 70% of industry’s revenues. An interesting observation in the past three years , is that the big Four are now entering the domestic market, an area that they have been relatively weak in.

Asia’s domestic courier market has always been the strength of the home-grown operators with intimate familiarity of the terrain.
