The National Postal Administration announced on the 5th that as of December 4th, China's annual express delivery business volume has exceeded the 120 billion mark for the first time. The 120th billion parcels of this year were sent from Kunming, Yunnan, and were flowers ordered by a consumer in Chengdu, Sichuan. They were transported by SF Express and boarded the Chengdu Kunming high-speed railway express train. They are expected to be delivered on the afternoon of December 5th. Bian Zuodong, Deputy Director of the Market Supervision Department of the State Postal Administration, said that the "small packages" of express delivery reflect the "big chess game" of the economy. In recent years, the express delivery industry has maintained a steady growth momentum, achieving a huge leap in business volume from "an average of 10 billion yuan per year" to "an average of 10 billion yuan per month". The internationalization level has rapidly improved, and the express delivery service network has reached the world. It has become the representative industry with the widest coverage in modern logistics, the best application of comprehensive transportation methods, the highest level of informatization and intelligence, and the fastest improvement in production efficiency. Express delivery has effectively promoted economic circulation and served people's livelihoods, becoming a barometer of economic vitality and an important force in narrowing the urban-rural gap and promoting common prosperity. Data shows that since March 2023, the monthly express delivery volume has exceeded 10 billion pieces, and the average monthly business revenue has exceeded 90 billion yuan, setting a new historical high. After entering the peak business season in November, the express delivery industry maintained a high level of operation, with a daily express delivery business volume exceeding 430 million pieces. It played a greater role in opening up production and sales channels, connecting supply and demand, connecting online and offline, and facilitating internal and external circulation. Traveling from south to north, goods flow freely. In order to promote the acceleration of express logistics, the express delivery industry has improved its service organization model, increased investment in technology, actively integrated into the comprehensive transportation system, and worked together with highways, railways, aviation, and water transportation. Multimodal transportation not only facilitates the "micro cycle" of people's happiness, but also connects the "major artery" of economic development. (Lai Xin She)
