At six o'clock in the morning, at a certain express delivery station in Chaoyang District, Beijing, sorting robots have been rapidly shuttling on the track, accurately sorting packages from all over the world to different areas. In a mountain village in Yunnan, two thousand kilometers away, villager Mr. Li just signed for several grandchildren's smartphones for online shopping - this is the 23rd express delivery he has received this year. These two seemingly unrelated scenes together depict a vivid picture of the development of China's delivery network during the 14th Five Year Plan period: a delivery system that covers urban and rural areas and connects the world is quietly changing everyone's life.

The leap from billions to billions

The latest data from the State Post Bureau shows that China has built the world's largest and most beneficiary postal network. This achievement is fully confirmed by data: the volume of express delivery business has achieved a historic leap from tens of billions to hundreds of billions, growing from over 80 billion pieces in the early stage of the 14th Five Year Plan to nearly 200 billion pieces. At the same time, the annual business revenue of the postal and express delivery industry has increased from 1.1 trillion yuan to 1.8 trillion yuan, with an average annual growth rate of over 10%, ranking among the top in China's modern service industry.

More noteworthy is the change in per capita express delivery usage. In the past five years, the per capita annual express delivery usage in China has increased from 59 to 141, more than doubling. This means that on average, every Chinese person receives nearly 12 parcels per month, and parcels have become an indispensable part of the daily lives of Chinese residents. This growth not only reflects the vigorous development of e-commerce, but also the comprehensive improvement of delivery network service capabilities.

Coverage from urban to rural areas

During the 14th Five Year Plan period, significant progress has been made in both the breadth and depth of China's postal network coverage. The rural network continues to extend downwards, achieving comprehensive coverage of "express delivery into villages", allowing residents in remote areas to also enjoy convenient express delivery services. The international network continues to expand and now reaches major economies around the world, providing efficient logistics channels for Chinese manufacturing to go global and global goods to enter the Chinese market.

In terms of regional coordinated development, the express delivery business in the central and western regions is showing a rapid growth trend. Data shows that the proportion of revenue and business volume from express delivery services in the central and western regions of China has increased by 5.4 and 7.5 percentage points respectively, indicating a more balanced regional development. This change not only promotes the economic development of the central and western regions, but also provides a solid logistics foundation for the construction of a unified national market.

The transition from manual to automated

Technological innovation is another highlight of the development of China's postal and express delivery industry. In the past five years, the level of intelligence in the industry has significantly improved, and sorting centers above designated size have basically achieved automated operation. Advanced technologies such as cloud computing and large-scale modeling are accelerating their application in multiple job processes, covering multiple scenarios such as demand forecasting, intelligent warehouse management, intelligent scheduling, and path planning.

This intelligent transformation not only improves work efficiency, but also enhances service quality. Nowadays, the comprehensive transportation efficiency, information organization level, service scope, and cost-effectiveness of China's postal express industry are all among the top in the world. In 2025, China will continue to promote the high-quality development of the postal and express delivery industry, further consolidating and enhancing China's position in the global logistics system.
