China becomes first country to ship 100 billion parcels, Pitney Bowes finds

The seventh edition of the Pitney Bowes Parcel Shipping Index found parcel volume increased across all regions in 2021. The index features 2021 data from 13 markets around the world. It found that China generated 108 billion parcels in 2021, in total, making it the first country to exceed 100 billion parcels within one year, as forecast in the previous report. According to the researchers, China’s growth in parcel volume represents a milestone for the shipping industry. Each day, China ships 300 million parcels, which is more than the smallest market in the Index, Sweden, ships in a year. Across the index, parcels shipped per capita averaged 41. Parcel volume per household is a new measure included in this year’s index. An average of 137 parcels were shipped per household across all countries, with China shipping the most at 218.
