The growth of the Australian express delivery service market is the result of the combined effect of various factors, mainly including the development of e-commerce, frequent trade exchanges, changes in consumer demands, and policy support. The details are as follows:
The e-commerce industry is booming: On one hand, the high penetration of the internet and smart phones in Australia has led consumers to gradually adopt the habit of online shopping. According to a report released by the market research institution IMARC Group, the e-commerce logistics market in Australia will reach 9.87 billion US dollars in 2024, and is expected to increase to 19.05 billion US dollars by 2033, with an average annual compound growth rate of 7.58% from 2025 to 2033. On the other hand, e-commerce platforms such as Amazon encourage Chinese sellers to open stores in Australia, further promoting the development of cross-border e-commerce and bringing a large amount of package transportation demand to the courier services.
Freight trade is frequent: The trade relationship between China and Australia is close. In 2024, the bilateral trade volume exceeded 200 billion Australian dollars, and the transportation demand for commodities such as minerals, agricultural products, and industrial products was strong, driving the growth of the courier services market. At the same time, the deep implementation of RCEP has promoted the development of intra-regional trade, providing a broader market space for Australian courier services.
Consumer demand is upgrading: Australian consumers have higher requirements for courier services, not only wanting to receive goods quickly, but also requiring traceability of the logistics process. The demand for "fast delivery" and "traceable" logistics services has increased, driving courier service providers to continuously optimize delivery time and services, which to some extent has promoted the expansion of the courier market.
Government policy support: The Australian government has been committed to improving the country's transportation network and improving logistics efficiency, such as implementing the "National Transport Infrastructure Plan", providing better infrastructure conditions for courier services. In addition, the government also encourages enterprises to utilize the latest logistics technologies and management methods to improve the overall operational efficiency of the industry, promoting the development of the courier services market.
Population structure and demand characteristics: The Chinese population in Australia is large, with strong demand for Chinese food, daily necessities, and cultural products. The volume of goods transported from China is constantly increasing, promoting the prosperity of the Australian transshipment market and thereby driving the growth of the courier services market.
