They are widely used to deliver non-palletized packages that usually weigh around a hundred pounds collectively. They assist in delivering parcels and documents to retail consumers, government agencies, and business customers. As a result, CEP services have gained immense popularity due to safe delivery options, cost-effectiveness, and parcel tracking facilities.

They are also enhancing value-added services, such as mobile tracking of products, SMS and e-mail alerts, and call recording facilities. In addition, the leading CEP service providers are collaborating with e-commerce vendors to deliver products across domestic and international locations. They are also adopting innovative digital technologies, such as delivery lockers, GPS, biometrics, autonomous vehicles, drone deliveries, pickup points, and crowdsourced deliveries, to enhance operational efficiency and meet customer requirements effectively. Besides this, recent technological advancements are facilitating key market players to reshape the supply chain and reinvent the parcel industry. They are also making strategic investments to establish a regional logistics network by opening new distribution centers and intelligent warehouses. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 623.3 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 3.8% during 2024-2032.
