A rapidly changing market

The European express industry has grown rapidly over the last twenty years. At the
outset it fulfilled a need for faster, more reliable services which also provided
customers with an increased level of supply chain visibility. Over recent years the
express and parcels sectors has changed dramatically due to a period of intense
acquisition activity. After this acquisition period, the focus has turned to
integration.

Increasingly boundaries have become blurred in the industry as express operators,
parcels companies and post offices have started to compete against each other in
order to offer clients a full service portfolio. In recent years, the market has
consolidated further, with additional infill acquisitions in Europe to bolster
network coverage, as well as a focus on internal integration of acquired operations.
