In the five years through 2016, the Couriers industry will maintain solid growth, but at a slower rate as the industry matures. Several drivers will stimulate growth, including strong domestic economic growth, increasing international trade levels, technological progress, improving transport infrastructure, increased levels of online shopping and a greater presence of foreign firms, according to IBISWorld, America’s largest publisher of industry research.
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) January 21, 2012
In the five years to 2011, industry revenue is expected to increase at annualized rate of 26%. Much stronger industry growth than the overall economy indicates that the industry is in the growth stage of its life cycle. There are more than 3,900 enterprises operating in the industry, employing over 383,000 workers with a payroll of over $1.24 billion. The Couriers industry in China is less susceptible to economic cycles than some other industries.
The Couriers industry in China will benefit from bright and steady future growth in China's economy, and the development of more niche markets. Demand growth from e-commerce activities is expected to be particularly strong.
As the industry grows and matures, growth is forecast to slow down slightly. Increased industry competition across China's urban and rural markets will result in stagnant pricing levels. However, due to continued strong demand for the industry's services and the largely underdeveloped markets in China's western regions, this industry is still expected to produce relatively strong growth during the next five years. From 2011 to 2016, industry revenue is expected to increase at the annualized growth rate of 18.9% to total $29.53 billion in 2016.
