Global Parcel Market In 2025
Global B2C e-commerce parcel volume is expected to reach 10% year-over-year growth. The expansion is driven not only by rising online order volumes but also by a structural shift in fulfilment. One customer order increasingly results in multiple parcel shipments, especially within marketplace-driven models.
As a result, e-commerce parcels now account for 63% of the total global parcel market, underlining how closely parcel delivery growth is tied to the performance of online retail.
For e-commerce players, these headline numbers confirm what has become standard reality: logistics capacity and last-mile performance are no longer supporting functions but core enablers of scale.

China Leads Global E-Commerce Parcels
Behind global growth lies a high degree of geographic concentration. Around 60% of all global B2C e-commerce parcels originate from China, making it by far the largest contributor to worldwide shipment volumes.
Since 2020, China’s parcel output has grown steadily and now exceeds that of all other major markets by a wide margin. This concentration highlights China’s central role in shaping global e-commerce logistics flows, from cross-border trade to platform-driven fulfillment models.
United States: Amazon Logistics As A Major Player
The US parcel market shows a different structure. In 2025, Amazon Logistics delivers more than 28% of all B2C e-commerce parcels in the country, positioning it as one of the largest delivery players.
However, the market remains relatively balanced. Other major carriers retain substantial shares, and no single provider controls a majority of parcel volumes. For merchants, the change translates into a diversified carrier landscape rather than a single dominant gatekeeper.
Germany And The UK: Different Market Structures
Germany represents a more concentrated model. DHL delivers over 40% of all B2C e-commerce parcels, clearly leading the market. Competing carriers operate at a significantly smaller scale, reinforcing DHL’s dominant position in German e-commerce delivery.

The UK, by contrast, remains more evenly distributed. Following the merger of DHL eCommerce and Evri in May 2025, Evri holds a significant share of e-commerce parcel deliveries. Even so, the market continues to be competitive, with several carriers holding comparable volumes.
Who Benefits Most From Parcel Growth
Global parcel volumes continue to rise in 2025, but the growth is not spread evenly across markets. A large share of parcels is generated in just a few countries and handled by a relatively small group of carriers, shaping how the market evolves.
As the industry moves into 2026, this concentration will remain a defining factor for e-commerce players. Where volumes accumulate and who controls delivery capacity will continue to influence scalability, service levels, and competitive positioning across global online retail.
