French Postal Observatory: 2004

Posted by | Apr 11, 2006 | |

The aim of the Observatory is to provide sector players and the public with major sector indicators (revenues, traffic volumes and number of access points). To provide a sufficiently complete view of the markets in question, the Observatory is not limited to those activities requiring an authorisation (distribution of items of correspondence, including cross-border), but also covers mail preparation, express mail and parcel activities. This is why we also questioned firms which are outside of the scope of application of the authorisations regime, and the federations representing them. This publication presents the results of the initial collection of information covering the activity of firms in France in 2004. It is an initial approach to postal markets.
