The new industry radar from Branchenradar.com Marktanalyse GmbH once again confirms increasing market shares for Austrian Post in the parcel sector. In 2024, the parcel volume in the Alpine republic grew to over 397 million parcels, of which 224 million were accounted for by Austrian Post. With a market share of over 56%, it was able to expand its market share by 2%.
The parcel volume of Austrian Post increased by 12% in the previous year. This not only allowed the company to grow stronger than the market but also recorded the most significant parcel growth among all domestic CEP providers (courier, express, parcel service).
“Two out of three private customer parcels are delivered by the Post in Austria. We were also able to gain in business customer parcels,” commented Peter Umundum, Deputy CEO on the Board for Parcel & Logistics at Austrian Post AG.
Private Customer Business
In the private customer business, the Post was able to benefit on the one hand from the European merchants who have stabilized again after challenging years. On the other hand, it is also a service provider for e-commerce players from the Asian and American world. Despite strong competition, the Post was able to increase its market share to 65% once more.
Business Customer Business
The area of parcels to business customers stagnated in 2024 in Austria. Nevertheless, the Post was able to expand its market share to 31% here and achieve the highest growth among all CEP providers.
