Access Asia has published this updated report on the postal & courier services industry in China as part of the China Contact Market Research report series. The report covers the market and current state of development of the post office, courier and air freight.
China’s postal services have made tremendous progress in terms of network size, technological level and service quality over the past 50 years. The service is operated by the China State Postal Bureau, more commonly known as China Post, and has four categories of service which it provides: postal delivery, newspaper and magazine distribution, philately, and postal savings and remittance services. In essence China Post remains the dominant force and monopoly in the Chinese postal market. However, in the area of courier services and express parcels there is some competition with the major international players such as Federal Express, United Parcel Service and DHL etc. While little is expected to change in terms of the day-to-day functions of the Post Office in China post-WTO, it is clear that China Post is reorganising itself into a modern post office and targeting services such as the Internet, direct mail and financial services as growth areas into which it can extend its business. In the courier and air express sector the country is opening up additional air routes for delivery companies such as UPS, FedEx and others to access China. However, at present FedEx remains the only dedicated American courier and cargo company flying directly to China.
