According to data released by the State Post Bureau on July 4th, as of June 30th, the volume of express delivery services in China has exceeded 100 billion pieces this year, 9 days earlier than in 2025.
Small packages serve thousands of households, connecting production, circulation, and consumption links, reflecting the continuous warming of the consumer market and demonstrating new achievements in the high-quality development of the postal and express delivery industry.
Industrial synergy continues to deepen——
Before and after the 618 shopping festival, Zhongtong Express's Hangzhou Dajiangdong branch was particularly busy. The sorting equipment operates at high speed, and express packages are automatically diverted according to their destinations.
Branch manager Zhu Shuai introduced that the daily business volume of the branch is about 36000 pieces, and since June, the business volume has doubled compared to usual.
We are exploring the formation of a 'up warehouse and down distribution' model with merchant warehouses upstairs and sorting centers downstairs, further shortening the delivery process, compressing express logistics time by more than 12 hours, and better adapting to the shipping needs of manufacturing and e-commerce enterprises around the network, "said Zhu Shuai.
Liu Jiang, Director of the Strategic Planning Research Department of the Development Research Center of the State Post Bureau, stated that since the beginning of this year, a series of policies to promote consumption have continued to exert significant effects, the consumer market has grown steadily, the consumption structure has continued to optimize, and the scale of the express delivery market has continued to expand.
From factory workshops to thousands of households, from serving production to promoting consumption, the express delivery industry continuously promotes the coordinated development of industrial and supply chains, providing strong support for economic development.
Continuous extension of service network——
In Wuzhou, Guangxi, express delivery companies have launched a special program for agricultural product delivery, optimizing front-end services and compressing transit time. Since the beginning of this year, nearly 20000 pieces of dry goods from the north and south have been sent out; In Sanmenxia, Henan Province, seasonal wild vegetables are shipped daily through express channels with an average of 8000 pieces. With the help of cold chain dedicated lines, next day delivery within the province and next day delivery in key cities are achieved
The continuously improving delivery network enables more characteristic agricultural products to go out of rural areas and reach the whole country, and also makes the two-way circulation of urban and rural consumption more smooth.

More and more consumers have personally felt that express delivery cardboard boxes have become thinner, tape has become thinner, waybills have become smaller, and there are more circular packaging. Low carbon intelligent delivery is reshaping consumers' lifestyles, "said Lin Hu.
