During the 14th Five Year Plan period, the volume of express delivery services in China reached billions, growing to nearly 200 billion pieces, contributing over 60% to global growth. This is the news obtained by the reporter on the 7th from the 2026 National Postal Work Conference held by the State Post Bureau. Data shows that during the 14th Five Year Plan period, the business revenue of China's postal industry increased to 1.8 trillion yuan, with an average annual growth rate of over 10%, ranking among the top in the modern service industry; The per capita annual express delivery usage has increased to 141 items, with the highest daily business volume reaching 777 million items. The breadth and depth of postal access in rural and border areas have significantly improved. The number of business outlets has increased nearly 1.5 times compared with five years ago. All border villages across the country have achieved postal access. Xinjiang, Xizang and other places have ended the history of e-commerce not "including postal services". In the past five years, the proportion of express delivery revenue and business volume in the central and western regions of China has increased by 5.4 and 7.5 percentage points respectively, effectively promoting the better integration of the central and western regions into the unified national market, "said Zhao Chongjiu, Director of the State Post Bureau. Over the past five years, the service capabilities of China's postal industry have continuously improved. The sorting centers above the industry scale have basically achieved automated operation, and the scale of unmanned warehouse operation continues to expand. The pilot use of unmanned vehicles has achieved positive results, and unmanned aerial vehicles have achieved normalized operation in some areas. Cloud computing and large models are accelerating their application in multiple scenarios such as demand forecasting, intelligent warehouse management, intelligent scheduling, and path planning. The comprehensive transportation efficiency, information organization level, service scope, and cost-effectiveness of postal express delivery are among the top in the world, "said Zhao Chongjiu. Zhao Chongjiu stated that in 2026, the postal industry will introduce policy documents to accelerate the promotion and application of unmanned delivery technology, and deepen the pilot application of unmanned vehicles, drones, and other technologies in the industry. Promote automated facilities and equipment such as intelligent sorting, intelligent cloud warehouses, and intelligent security checks, and accelerate the application of advanced technologies such as intelligent delivery and intelligent routing. Promote the application of green product technologies such as circular packaging, new energy vehicles, and photovoltaic power generation, and promote green and low-carbon development through intelligent path optimization and intelligent packaging algorithms. We will continue to consolidate the achievements of "parcel post" in Xinjiang, Xizang and other places. Accelerate the construction of overseas air cargo terminals, overseas warehouses, etc., and enhance the international delivery and logistics service capabilities and levels. (New Society)
