Aerial shots of delivery vehicles running Storyline China's express delivery sector handled 180.74 billion parcels in the first 11 months of 2025, representing a 14.9 percent year-on-year increase, data from the State Post Bureau showed on Tuesday. This year, policies such as consumer goods trade-ins have stimulated consumers' demand for upgrades, resulting in a significant increase in express delivery volumes. In the first 11 months, the volume of express deliveries for large items like furniture and home appliances surged by approximately 30 percent year on year. At the same time, the enhancement of supportive infrastructure in the central and western regions has led to a steady increase in express delivery services. Notably, areas such as Guizhou Province in southwest China, Shaanxi Province and Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region in northwest China reported their annual growth rate in express delivery volumes exceeding 30 percent. The express delivery industry continues to strengthen its technological innovation capabilities by applying robots, AI system, unmanned delivery vehicles and drones. "Express delivery companies have increased the application of smart equipment, transitioning from improving individual segment efficiencies to enhancing overall network and supply chain effectiveness. The market has experienced rapid growth, and service quality steadily improved. The robust development of the express delivery industry not only demonstrates the vitality of China's economy but also provides solid support for serving public needs and promoting industrial upgrades," said Liu Jiang, director of the strategic planning department at the State Post Bureau's Development Research Center.
