The local courier service market stands at almost RON5 billion as a result of the rise in online commerce, according to ZF estimates based on market data.
“The growth trend of the online commerce will continue in 2021; we believe Romania has a lot of potential and we will see more and more online businesses seeking to develop abroad,” says Oana Mandicescu, sales and marketing director with DHL Express Romania.
Companies like FAN Courier, Cargus, DHL and GLS posted about 20% growth in revenue last year. Some even doubled the revenue, such as Sameday, held by online retailer eMAG.
If the upward trend continues in 2021, the parcel delivery market in Romania could go beyond RON5 billion, and even head towards RON5.5 billion.
