This year, consumption has picked up a little after growth of just 5.4% in 2018, after double digit growth in 2017. Retail sales grew 8.3% on the year in January-July.
“The courier services market has good signals. The sector is still driven by online retail but other areas, such as food delivery, are on the rise. The growth pace has slowed but still sales continue to grow,” said Adrian Mihai, founder of FAN Courier, the leading courier company in Romania.
The courier services market amounted to around EUR450 million in 2018, according to courier companies’ data.
