UK parcel volumes drop for the first time in a decade, Pitney Bowes finds

Aug 27, 2023

Pitney Bowes has released its 2023 Parcel Shipping Index, which has revealed a 5% year-on-year fall in UK parcel volumes that is the first of its kind since 2013. This Parcel Shipping Index – featuring 2022 data from 13 major countries – also found that coming off two years of pandemic-fuelled growth, global parcel volumes increased only 1% in 2022 compared to 2021, largely due to the lockdowns in China.
