Despite some consolidation, there are still 10 groups which operate significant parcels networks in the UK, with several others also involved.
The largest groups by revenue are the Royal Mail / Parcelforce, with latest parcels revenue of £3.337bn, DHL (£1.036bn including UK Mail), DPD Group (£1.017bn) and FedEx (£971m including TNT). Since 2010, the Royal Mail / Parcelforce, UPS, DPD Group, Hermes, UK Mail, FedEx, APC and Tuffnells have all grown at a rate of more than 5% per year. During the same period, TNT and DX/Nightfreight have seen their parcels revenues decrease.
Different carriers have variations in their market focus and their business models. Business model variations exist for both historical reasons and to provide a better fit with the company's strategy and the requirements of the segments on which it focuses. For example, the integrators tend to have larger depots than domestic players, while franchised depots can work well in serving smaller customers at the local level and self-employed couriers are widely used for home delivery. Key objectives of operating models are usually to improve consolidation of pick-up and delivery, align incentives or minimise handling of parcels
The operators with high exposure to B2C e-commerce deliveries and those with international networks have increased their overall share of revenues at the expense of standalone UK players with a traditional B2B focus. However the picture is more complex and there have been winners and losers across the segments
Further change market share is likely in the coming year as the networks continue to compete and growth between segments varies. Also, there is potential for the FedEx / TNT and DHL / UK Mail mergers to lead to other changes.
