CROSSBORDER

Industry Research 2019

Cross-border growth is 2x the rate of domestic
eCommerce, but the ability to control market share
is declining. New technology-driven start-ups,
pricing and innovative supply chains are stealing
a march on postal players’ competitive edge.
Customers expect cross-border delivery to match
domestic services: fast, free, trackable,
and easy returns.
To compete, new business models and
capabilities are required. Five actions
can help postal organizations win in
the cross-border delivery race.

As postal organizations move away from the customer, this creates risk from more middlemen
As consolidators expand, Posts
have a smaller role in the value

Increasing volumes—cross border deliveries are growing
exponentially and cannot be ignored.
Technology has come of age—technology is now an essential
enabler, not a “nice to have.”
Leading in the new—alternatives exist for those post and
