IPC Global Postal Industry Report
Now in its third year, the IPC Global Postal Industry Report 2011 has become the industry benchmark in providing postal stakeholders with the most comprehensive, holistic and in-depth review and analysis of the industry’s performance, unrivalled in either its scope or quality.
IPC has continued this year to expand the report to add data from ever more carriers, ensuring that the report delivers the most global picture of the industry possible. While expanding its range, IPC has maintained the scope of its analysis, to ensure that readers can profit from a consistency of approach that allows them to benchmark evolution in operators’ performance year on year according to a range of constant criteria.
Some of the key findings from this year’s report include the following:
-
The 36 most developed postal carriers and integrators had total revenues of €452bn in 2010
-
Average consolidated profitability declined by 1.3 percentage points from 2007 to 2010, from 5.9% to 4.6%
