China’s courier sector just smashed records with 100 billion parcels delivered this year – hitting the milestone 71 days earlier than in 2023! 💥 The State Post Bureau (SPB) announced the jaw-dropping stats, revealing an average of 71.43 packages per person nationwide – that’s 5,144 parcels every second. 📈
Dubbed the \"pulse of China’s economy,\" the sector’s growth reflects surging consumer demand and tech-driven logistics. Highlights include:
- 🚚 A single-day peak of 580 million parcels
- 💡 Drones delivering packages in 10 minutes in smart cities
- 🌾 95% of villages now covered by express services
From next-day lychee deliveries to autonomous trucks, innovation is reshaping how goods move. 🚀 The SPB plans to expand urban logistics hubs and global networks, merging delivery chains with advanced manufacturing.
With this milestone, China has dominated global express delivery volumes for 10 consecutive years – proving even Gen Z’s love for online shopping can move mountains (of packages!). 😉
