EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The UK express delivery services market is estimated to have delivered
681 million packages in 1997, representing an increase of 10 percent from the
volume of consignments transported in 1996. The UK express delivery services
market in value terms has grown less significantly as a result of the continued
price discounting by many express delivery service providers. MSI estimate that
the market increased by 7 percent in 1997 to œ2.2 billion (ECU3.2
billion).
Internal deliveries in the UK express delivery services market are
estimated to have accounted for 95 percent of the volume of packages in 1997.
MSI estimate that next day deliveries accounted for 315 million packages in the
market. Indeed, demand for next day deliveries has increased in volume terms by
44 percent between 1993 and 1997. Other guaranteed deliveries rose by 13
percent whilst the size of the non-guaranteed services sector contracted by 2
percent between 1993 and 1997.
The UK market for international deliveries continued to grow in both
volume and value terms. In 1997 the volume of packages for international
destinations increased by 12 percent with a significant proportion of this
growth accounted for by deliveries to non-European countries. Indeed the
proportion of the market volume accounted for by non-European deliveries had
risen to 31 percent in 1997.
MSI believe that demand for express delivery services is affected by a
number of factors including:
- - end user performance
- - UK and international economic factors
- - the trend towards globalisation
- - political changes
- - government policy
- - the pricing of express delivery services
- - customer perception of added value services
- - social trends
- - trends in distribution and production
The UK market for express delivery services is forecast to continue
growing in both volume and value terms between 1998 and 2002. In the internal
sector, MSI forecast that the growth rates of the value market will become
increasingly in line with those forecast in the volume market reflecting the
trend towards price stability in the market. In contrast, as the international
market becomes further characterised by competition and reaches a level of
maturity, prices in the sector are expected to decline.
MSI have identified a number of factors which are considered to be
critical for the success of express delivery companies. The following factors
are of particular importance due to their role in the decision making criteria
of customers:
- - price
- - geographical coverage
- - range of services
- - speed and timing of delivery
- - quality of service
- - reliability
- - customer care
During the 1990s the UK express delivery services industry for internal
deliveries has become more concentrated with many smaller companies being
forced out of the market as a result of the UK economic recession. Indeed, the
leading 14 companies accounted for 93 percent of the total market value in
1997. The international sector continues to be led by four companies. However,
many UK companies are penetrating the international express delivery services
market which is serving to reduce concentration in the sector.
