Express delivery sector back on track

The express delivery industry has shown a resurgence over the just-completed long holiday period thanks to a strong recovery in consumer demand, the State Post Bureau said in a news release on Friday.

Data from the bureau shows that over the eight-day break, about 1.82 billion parcels were received nationwide, up 53 percent year-on-year.

Parcels sent during the holiday stood at 1.8 billion, a year-on-year increase of 63 percent.
