Data released by the State Post Bureau on 5 18 shows that in 4, China's Express Delivery Development Index rose 0.3% year over year. The industry continues to grow steadily, with expanded convenience service scenarios and the adoption of new technologies emerging as key highlights.
According to the latest data from the State Post Bureau, China's Express Delivery Development Index in 4 was 444.4, a year-on-year increase of 0.3%.
In 4, driven by holiday spending, courier companies actively expanded convenient service scenarios. Partnering with airports, train stations, hotels, and popular tourist attractions, they optimized one-stop services for luggage and local specialty storage, forwarding, and transfer. This creates a worry-free travel experience for passengers and helps unleash the vitality of cultural tourism consumption.
Meanwhile, as seasonal agricultural products like spring tea and fruits hit the market, courier companies are accelerating the adoption of new equipment and technologies. Smart devices such as robotic dogs, autonomous vehicles, and drones are being deployed directly to production areas for spring tea and fruits, further enhancing service quality and response efficiency while providing robust support for bringing farm goods to market.
Liu Jiang, Director of the Strategic Planning Research Department at the Development and Research Center of the State Post Bureau, stated that courier companies are accelerating the deployment of unmanned equipment across multiple regions to effectively address logistics gaps in rural and high-altitude areas. By integrating warehouse and distribution operations and sharing transport capacity, new technologies and business models create a synergistic advantage—ensuring overnight delivery with full-chain freshness for specialty agricultural products and paving the way for rural industrial revitalization.
