About Courier Industry

The size of India Courier, Express, and Parcel (CEP) market is USD 6.24 billion in the current year and
is anticipated to register a CAGR of over 15% during the forecast period. The growth in the e-commerce
segment, higher internet penetration into the masses, and the latest technological innovations in the sector
have been the driving force for the market. The COVID-19 pandemic impacted every industry. However,
the pandemic accelerated online purchasing, positively impacting the CEP industry's growth and
increasing its market share.
 India became a significant market for both domestic and international shipments, with powerful
companies entering and expanding networks. Innovation became a critical influencing factor for
organizations to be seriously lined up with market trends and dynamics.
 The logistics organizations, particularly in the CEP business, must be thoughtful regarding technological
investments, which can otherwise disturb the business. The presentation of Goods and Service Tax (GST)
in the country likewise emphatically influenced the online/e-commerce logistics market since all the
indirect taxes have been compiled into one. It permits the logistics companies to smoothen the movement
of products inside the nation.
 Simultaneously keeping up the consistency of quality for service and overseeing cost is a test for all the
market players. Given the constant development in online business and the way that building one's system
is expensive, more associations are relied upon to occur in the market on the rear of weight on cost
decrease. The developing significance and request in the last-mile conveyance are compelling the market
goliaths to drive their business more creatively.
 E-commerce is one of the main factors driving the market growth. Rapid development in its online/ e- commerce
market, significant extra cash, and increased internet penetration have made India among the three quickest For
example, according to the India Brand Equity Forum (IBEF), the Indian e-commerce market is estimated at USD
76.8 billion by 2023 and is projected to grow to USD 350 billion by 2027. Accordingto the U.S. Census Bureau
estimates, U.S. e-commerce retail sales totaled USD 196.7 billion in the firstquarter of 2021, rising further
to USD 231.4 billion in the first quarter of 2022.

1.
Moreover, recent strategic initiatives by major market players, such as new service launches and
acquisitions, will impact the growth of Courier, Express, and Parcel (CEP). For example, the digital
commerce fulfillment platform Delhivery launched a consumer-to-consumer (C2C) express parcel
service in June 2021.

With this service, you can pick up your package at your doorstep and deliver it anywhere in the country.
Delhivery will launch this new service in over 2,500 cities in India. Additionally, in August 2021, Delhi
acquired Bangalore-based Spoton Logistics to strengthen its business-to-business (B2B) vertical.

Also, increasing industrialization in emerging markets coupled with increased cross-border trade in the
post-Covid era is expected to act as a catalyst for market demand during the forecast period. However,
high operating costs associated with CEP services hinder the market growth during the forecast period.

Internet users have increased over the years in rural and urban regions. It appeared to be likely from past
patterns that the dispatch of the Jio fixed-line broadband assistance, called Gigafiber, may help the
already expanding e-commerce and internet penetration in the nation.
The domestic segment of the CEP market in India is expected to hold a significant market share. The
domestic CEP market will likely witness the growth and maintain a considerable share during the forecast
period driven by the B2C e-commerce boom. Digitizing the economy and providing cheap internet to the
people are a few reasons that boosted digital sales growth in India. In 2022, e-commerce sales across
India were
Estimated to increase by 21.23%.
As B2C e-commerce demand continues to grow, last-mile logistics occupied the spotlight, with several
investments and start-ups in India. Increasing demand for speed of delivery and expanding internet
penetration leading to a higher number of regions active online led to a significant rise in the last mile
market in recent years. The report covers the major players operating in the Indian CEP Industry. The
market is highly competitive, with a few players occupying a significant share of the international CEP
market. The market is fragmented and expected to grow durithe forecast.

About Logistics Sector
Logistics, the process of managing the flow of goods and services from manufacturers to consumers, is
a crucial component of the modern economy. In India, the logistics industry is experiencing significant
growth due to the expanding e-commerce sector.
However, this growth has brought with it a range of challenges, including last-mile delivery, warehouse
management, workforce training, and a lack of standardization. In this article, we will explore the
strategies implemented by logistics companies in India to address these challenges and assess their
effectiveness.
Logistics in India is an integral part of any economy as it helps in the effective movement of goods and
services from one place to another. In India, the logistics sector has played a crucial role in the growth
and development of the country’s economy. The logistics sector in India has grown rapidly in the last
decade, and it is estimated to be worth $215 billion by 2020.
The contribution of the logistics sector to India’s GDP has been significant in recent years. In 2019, the
logistics sector contributed 13.5% to India’s GDP, which is expected to grow to 15% by 2025.
The logistics sector is also a major contributor to foreign trade as it enables the smooth movement of
goods across borders. India’s logistics sector is responsible for handling around 95% of India’s total trade
by volume and 70% by value.
The logistics sector is also a significant employment generator in India. It employs around 22 million
people, which is expected to grow to 40 million by 2030. The logistics sector is not only creating direct
job opportunities but also providing indirect employment opportunities, particularly in the transport and
warehousing sectors.
The Indian government has invested heavily in infrastructure in recent years, with a focus on improving
the efficiency of the logistics sector. The government’s investment in infrastructure has led to the
development of new roads, airports, and ports, which have significantly improved the connectivity of the
logistics network in India.
The development of infrastructure has led to the reduction of logistics costs, which has made the Indian logistics
sector more competitive. However, the pandemic has also led to supply chain disruptions, with several
disruptions in transportation, production, and manufacturing activities. Various lockdowns and

3.
Shutdowns have resulted in a halt in business operations, affecting the transportation of goods and causing
delays in deliveries.
These disruptions have led to additional costs for logistics service providers, including the additional
expenses involved in ensuring safety measures, such as sanitization and employee safety.
The pandemic has also had a significant effect on the workforce in the logistics industry. Several
employees have been infected or isolated due to COVID-19, leading to a shortage of labor. This has
resulted in an increase in employee wages and benefits by logistics firms to ensure employee safety and
retain workers.
In response to the pandemic, the industry has taken several measures to maintain the supply chain and
keep operations running smoothly. Several logistics firms have adopted digital technology to streamline
operations and reduce human contact.
For instance, contactless deliveries and payments, online tracking of goods, and automation in warehouse
operations. Additionally, the government has also taken steps to ensure the smooth functioning of the
supply chains, such as easing restrictions on the movement of essential goods and services.
Measures taken by logistics firms in India to adopt digital technology in response to the COVID-19
pandemic, including contactless deliveries and payments, online tracking of goods, and automation in
warehouse operations.

 CHALLENGES FACED BY LOGISTIC INDUSTRY IN INDIA
 Transportation cost: One of the biggest heads in any logistics company is transportation cost and
unstable fuel prices and maintenance can increase it further. If you are looking at saving transportation
cost, you can adopt alternatives like combining shipments, installing routing software and reducing
carriers. Many businesses today switch between partial-truckload, less-than truckload, and full truck load
shipments (FTL vs PTL vs LTL) to manage costs based on cargo.
 Manpower management: Manpower plays a significant role in logistics and communicating with
drivers and staff who mostly are on the road gets difficult. The logistics sector needs skilled manpower
and shortage of drivers is a never-ending challenge. Moreover, there is a lack of training institutions too.
 Handling customer experience: The logistics industry is highly competitive, and customers are spoilt
for choices. Logistics companies are expected to deliver the best to create customer delight and thereby
generate repeat business. Providing assistance at every touchpoint can be challenging for providers and
affect customer experience.
 Visibility: Lack of complete control and visibility of the supply chain map is often a challenge for
logistics companies. It is important to have complete visibility of the supply chain at all stages to ensure
that shipments are been transported through the correct route and delivered on time.
 Regulations: Logistics rules and regulations in India that are enforced by national, regional and local
authorities keeps changing at times and needs constant monitoring. If not handled in a timely manner,
these impact logistics and delivery timelines, and efficiency is compromised.

 Technology adaption: It is a must to adopt technology in logistics, and inability to implement tools like
shipment tracking systems, automation systems, data analytics, etc. often prove to be a deterrent for
logistics companies.

 SWOT ANALYSIS

Strengths

Courier services an integral part of getting important documents to and from people and businesses. The
barriers to entry for a new courier service are very low. If an individual owns their vehicle, they can begin
working right away after a small client base is developed. This is especially true in major metropolitan
areas where customers need same day delivery of times. For larger scale courier services, the startup
costs range from $10,000 to $50,000. One of the strengths of a courier service, financial speaking, is that
the operating costs are low while the gross margins are extremely high. It is not uncommon to achieve
gross margins of 90% or more on each delivery provided for a customer. Courier services are generally
able to remain profitable and cash flow positive in any economic climate.

Weaknesses

The primary weakness faced by these businesses is that many other people act as couriers. This is
especially true in large cities. In more suburban areas, courier services face substantially less competition

24.
but the courier service needs to be able to operate within a much greater market radius in order to provide
services to a larger number of customers.

Opportunities

One of the quickest ways to expand operations is to develop ongoing relationships with companies that
have frequent courier needs. Foremost, many of these services focus on providing couriering for law
firms, accounting firms, and other professional companies that have ongoing needs to have packages
delivered on a same day basis. This is one of the primary ways that a courier service maintains regular
revenues while boosting the valuation of the business. The other way of expanding operations is to
continually hiring additional couriers that can service a greater number of company accounts. This
requires a moderate capital investment in order to acquire vehicles.

Threats

As most files are now electronic, the demand for courier services has declined over the past twenty years.
However, many legal documents still require the actual signature of a person on paper. As such, by virtue
of law, there will always be a need for companies to send actual documents to and from recipients. There
are not expected to be major changes in this industry for at least 10 to 15 years.

 IMPORTANCE OF SALES & MARKETING IN LOGISTIC AND COURIER
INDUSTRY

Marketing the courier services focuses our attention on the application of modern marketing principles
in the business process. Courier marketing is a managerial process that makes possible a planned
development of services. It is an organized effort to make the services commercially viable to the courier
organizations vis-à-vis affordable to the users who make use of their multi-dimensional services. The
marketing concept makes it essential that the organizations formulate a sound service mix in which we
find a fair synchronization of different types of services. The courier marketing practices thus make
possible formulation of different sub mixes of the marketing mix, such as the product mix, the promotion
mix, the price mix, the place mix and the people mix. In addition, the development of sound marketing
inputs becomes a focal point which makes the ways for the development of quality outputs.
Conceptualizing courier marketing makes the ways for satisfying the users which happens to be the most
important thing for increasing the market share and the level of profits. The courier organizations thus
can maintain commercial viability. By formulating and innovating the marketing mix, the courier
organizations can be successful in developing and perceiving a new perception of quality which makes
possible qualitative improvements in the process. Generation of profits and satisfaction to the users are
the two important dimensions which pave avenues for multi-dimensional quantitative-cum-qualitative
improvements in the process. The organizations by making the services competitive can be successful in
excelling competition. Since the marketing focuses on professional excellence, the courier organizations
can also be successful in projecting a fair image. These facts make it clear that the application of
marketing principles is to benefit the courier organizations in many ways. It is against this background
that the leading courier organizations are found practicing innovative marketing. Marketing the courier

 MARKETING MIX FOR COURIER ORGANIZATIONS

The courier organizations are required to formulate a sound marketing mix for improving the quality of
services. The courier services are required to be made competitive and this makes it essential that the
courier organizations conceptualize marketing in such a way that the processes of qualitative-cum-
quantitative transformation are activated in the face of emerging business conditions. It is against this
background that the marketing professionals are supposed to make creative marketing decisions. This
focuses our attention on the formulation of different sub mixes.

 Product Mix

Mounting intensity of competition makes it essential that the courier organizations formulate a sound
product mix. By formulating a sound product mix, they would be in a position to understand the changing
needs and requirements of different segments of users on prospects and the service profile would be made
user-friendly.

Inclusion of innovation services in the service mix would enrich the profile and would also be
instrumental in sensitizing the prospects. The stimulation of demand makes it essential that the customer
get the services which are not to be made available by the Department of Posts. This draws our attention
on the formulation of a sound products mix for the courier organization. The professionals are supposed
 to work with service motive. They need to make it sure that the promised services reach to the users
without making any distortion in the process.

While formulating the product mix, they are required to make it sure that the service portfolio includes
both the high-profit-generating services as well as the low-profit-generating services.

 Promotion Mix

 Advertising

The first constituent of promotion, i.e. advertising plays an effective role in promoting the business. To
be more specific in the present age of sophisticated technologies, we find advertisement instrumental in
promoting the business of courier organizations. In this context, they need to advertise through print
media, broadcast media and the telecast media. The courier organizations find print media ore effective
because the sophistication in the development of print technology has opened doors for creativity. The
availability of quality materials is found injecting additional attractions while advertising through the
print media. The advertising professionals need to select the media preferred by the target prospects. The
Newspapers, magazines in big circulation may be effective since the services are used by almost all the
segments of the market. In addition, the courier organizations also get an opportunity of making
descriptive advertisements to courier organizations also get an opportunity of making descriptive
advertisements to inform in detail the target prospects. Further we have been found more effective. The
marketing professionals and to be more specific the advertising professionals bear the responsibility of
composing creative slogans so that messages, themes and appeals are found instrumental in sensitizing
the prospects. There is no doubt that due to audio-visual exposure we find telecast media very much
effective in stimulating the demand. The large-sized courier organizations are found using all the three
media.

29.
 Publicity

Being an unpaid form of persuasive communication, the publicity makes it essential that the professional
attempt to develop a rapport with the media people and organize a get-together and offer to them lunch,
dinner and the small gifts to influence them to write articles and news items in favor. If the media people
are found satisfied with the quality of services offered by them, they may give suitable coverage as a
news item which would considerably be instrumental in sensitizing the prospects. The publicity measures
are found more effective since the prospects at large feel that the media people are presenting right things
regarding the services of courier organizations. Thus the courier organizations may also use this
component of the promotion mix.

 Personal selling
It is right to mention that for promoting the business of courier organization, we find personal selling

very much effective. The courier organisations may be successful in promoting the business in a right

Fashion, if the sales people have high communication ability. To be more specific the large sized courier
organizations may engage agents, trade representatives for developing contract with the target prospects.
If the sales personnel have high communicative ability, attractive personality and commitment to
profession, the dialogues can be transformed organizations need to recruit and train quality sales people
for that very purpose. The instrumentalities of messengers acting as courier have been accepted by all. If
the courier, agents, representative narrate to the prospects right things in a right fashion, we find enough
scope for stimulation.

30.
 Word-of-mouth promotion

If the courier organizations offer world class services to the prospects or users; it is natural that they
remain satisfied and communicate to their friends and relatives the plus and negative points. They in a
true sense act as a hidden Salesforce. If we come to know about the outstanding quality of courier services
from our friends and relatives, we prefer to use the services of that very organisation as and when the
circumstances necessitate so. The courier organizations may also take the support of opinion leaders for
this purposes.

 Sales promotion

Sales promotion happens to be an important component of the promotion mix. The courier organisatoin
need to think about the innovative promotional tools for the sales personnel, marketing personnel and
more so for the users of the services. in these context, they need to offer gifts, offer an attractive package,
concessional services to the habitual users or so. The main thing in the process is to make the tools
innovative because almost all the courier organizations are found offering small or big gifts.

 Price Mix

The pricing decisions of courier services become critical because the organizations are supposed to make
rational decision which on the one hand maintain their commercial viability while on the other also sub
serve the interests of those segments of the society who find it difficult to pay the high tariff. Like other
organizations, the courier organisations are also required to keep into consideration the fact that even the
weaker sections of the society find it convenient to user their services. It is against this background that
we go through the price mix of the courier organizations.

The courier organizations buy the supporting services from the different categories of organisations
which substantially influence their tariff structure. It is right to mention that whatever they charge as
tariff from the users remains the only source of financing the business and therefore it is difficult for

31.
them to sub serve the social interests by offering concessional or subsidized services. However the courier
organization need to explore avenues for the same.
The courier organizations are required to make the pricing decisions more scientific and progressive.
This draws our attention on charging high structure from the users dispatching valuable documents and
papers, charging low structure from the habitual users, charging very low structure from the habitual
large-sized users. The motive is to increase the market share and therefore in no case the tariff structure
should cross the structure charged by the Department of Posts. If they improve the quality of services
and make the structure competitive, the market share would automatically be increased.

 Place Mix

The place mix draws attention on the two important issues, first the services are processed in a right way
in order that the gap between the services-promised and service-offered is bridged over and second the
courier organization and their branch officers are located at a sensitive point so that the users as well as
the personnel working there don’t feel any trouble.
The first dimension of the place makes it essential that the professionals manage their head and branch
offices properly. The personnel working there are efficient and the technologies used in the process of
offering the services are sophisticated. The second dimension of the place mix drawn attention on the
location points for the branch and head offices. We can’t deny that the places select smoothly be
accessible. The required infrastructural facilities should be available at the centres and the offices should
be managed in a right way. The interior decoration needs due attention of the professionals because this
is the provision found instrumental in adding attractions to the services. In this context, it is also
significant that proper furnishing is made possible and sophisticated communication services are
available at the centres. To be more specific, we find safety and protection provisions requiring due
attention of the professionals responsible for managing the branch offices as well as the head office. The
availability of power and transportation facilities can’t be under estimated.
The management of place for the courier organizations need due attention of the policy planners failing
which the new perception of quality can’t be organizations need to manage place mix with the help of
efficient personnel and with the support of sophisticated technologies.

32.
 People mix

In addition to other components of the marketing mix, we also need to gravitate our attention one the
people mix. It is against this background that the professionals make a strong advocacy in favour of
managing the people mix. This draws attention on the different categories of employees serving the
courier organizations at head or branch offices.
By performance-orientation, our emphasis is on improving the efficiency of employees involved in the
process. This makes it essential that the marketing professionals assign due weightage to the management
of employees serving the courier organizations. The employees working at the head and branch offices
are required to be efficient, well aware of the operation and maintenance of technologies used in the
process, sincere and punctual to the management of time and familiar with the behavioral profile of
prospects or users. By showing commitment to the profession, they can prove themselves to be high
performs. We talk about performance-orientation but don’t find it assent-orientation. By the employee-
orientation, our focus is on motivating the employees suitably by offering to them efficiency-based
incentive plans. The professionals need to realize that unless they offer to the employee’s suitable
incentives, the process of efficiency-generation would hardly be accelerated. This makes it essential that
the courier organizations assign an overriding priority to the incentive plans for the employees which
would make ways for performance –orientation.

In view of the above, it is right to mention that the professionals bearing the responsibility of formulating
a sound marketing mix also consider the instrumentality of people mix and they need to blend the
different sub mixes in such a way that the marketing decisions are found proactive.

33.
 Why Effective Marketing Strategies are Important for Courier Businesses
Having an effective marketing strategy is essential for any business, especially for courier businesses. In
particular, it allows them to reach their target audience, increase brand recognition, and increase revenue.
Here are a few reasons why effective marketing strategies are important for courier businesses:
Firstly, an effective marketing strategy helps to promote the business and reach potential customers. With
increasing competition in the courier industry, it’s essential to stand out from the crowd and attract new
customers. A well-planned marketing strategy can help achieve this goal.
Secondly, marketing strategies help to communicate the value proposition of the courier business to
potential customers. By highlighting the unique features and benefits of the business, customers are more
likely to choose that particular courier service over others.

Thirdly, marketing strategies can help build brand awareness and create a positive reputation for the
business. Customers are more likely to use a service that they recognize and trust, and effective marketing
can help achieve this.
Finally, an effective marketing strategy can lead to increased revenue for the business. By attracting more
customers and building a positive reputation, a courier business can increase its revenue and grow its
customer base.
Without a well-planned marketing strategy, a courier business may struggle to attract customers and thrive
in a competitive industry.

services for food, transportation, and packages. This concept is being used not just in developed
countries, but also globally, as local enterprises build their own express courier services using crowd-
sourced methods. As a result, courier and delivery businesses are now able to provide same-day
