China's Couriers Surpass 180 Billion Parcels
China's courier sector surpassed 180 billion annual parcels for the first time, the State Post Bureau reported Monday, with the milestone reached on Sunday. The bureau cited automation — including JD.com's automated warehouse, unmanned delivery vehicles, AI vision systems and drones — as central to processing more than 16 billion parcels monthly and a peak single-day 777 million. The industry is advancing toward 2025 targets of 190 billion parcels and 1.5 trillion yuan revenue.
Key Points
- 1Record volumes: annual parcel deliveries exceed 180 billion, averaging over 16 billion per month.
