Electronic commerce, which, for some companies accounts for over half of deliveries, is the growth driver of the courier services market this year as well. Nevertheless, the Romanian market is far from catching up with countries such as Poland whose courier services market nears EUR1 billion.
Courier companies had more than 12,600 employees in 2015, some 5,000 more than in 2008, in one of the industries barely affected by the economic crisis, according to an analysis by Ziarul Finianciar, based on data on www.mfinante.ro
Data include the number of employees in the field of „other postal and courier activities,” which does not include state-run postal operator Posta Romana, a giant company with more than 24,000 employees in 2015.
