Annual per capita express deliveries exceed items, with an average of items generated per second, a peak daily business volume exceeding 100 million items, monthly business volume reaching 10 billion items, and monthly business revenue reaching 100 billion yuan... Today, whether it's small items like needles and thread, rice, and cooking oil, or large items like agricultural machinery parts, refrigerators, and TVs, consumers only need to tap on their phone screens, and the fastest delivery can be made on the same day by express delivery personnel.

On the afternoon of the [specific date], according to real-time monitoring data from the National Postal Bureau, a specialty agricultural parcel shipped by J&T Express from Tianshui, Gansu to Chongqing became the 10 billionth express delivery of the year. This milestone marks the first time that China's annual express delivery volume has exceeded 10 billion items, setting a new historical record.

The achievement of the target of handling one billion express deliveries has witnessed the thriving and vibrant express delivery market in our country. The generation of one billion express deliveries is driven by favorable macro policies. Since the beginning of this year, multiple departments and regions have issued policies to support domestic demand expansion, taking the opportunity of large-scale equipment upgrades and consumer goods trade-ins to continuously enrich consumption scenarios, expand into lower-tier markets, and drive a strong growth in express delivery volume.

At the same time, express delivery companies continue to improve infrastructure construction, actively deploy unmanned vehicles, drones, and intelligent sorting systems, and the industry's transportation and transfer capabilities are increasingly enhanced. The network system is gradually improving, and service efficiency and quality are also effectively upgraded.

Since the beginning of the month, it has become a norm for China's monthly express delivery volume to exceed 100 million parcels, with the express delivery market maintaining a rapid growth trend. Especially in the aspect of express delivery reaching villages, China has cumulatively established multiple county-level public express delivery service centers and over 100,000 village-level comprehensive express logistics service stations, constructing a relatively complete rural express logistics system. The express logistics industry is playing an increasingly important role in reducing the circulation costs of agricultural products and improving their circulation efficiency.

Since the beginning of this year, the regional development structure of the postal and express delivery industry has become more balanced, with a continuous increase in the proportion of express deliveries in the central and western regions, and growth rates exceeding the national average. From the pumpkin seeds of Changji, Xinjiang, to the yak meat of Nyingchi, Tibet, from the red goji berries of Haixi, Qinghai, to the soft pears of Lanzhou, Gansu, and then to the kiwifruit of Zhouzhi, Shaanxi, these unique specialties of the central and western regions have gradually entered thousands of households through the efficient operation of the express delivery network.

The booming express delivery market has played a positive role in expanding online consumption demand in the central and western regions, providing strong support for promoting local economic consolidation and enhancing the momentum of recovery. According to relevant officials from the State Post Bureau, the central and western regions have continuously strengthened the construction of express delivery infrastructure, put into operation and expanded distribution centers in multiple locations, optimized trunk transportation routes, and improved the efficiency of the express delivery network.

E-commerce platforms and express delivery companies have actively joined forces to exempt merchants from logistics transfer fees for orders in remote areas, introduced consolidation models to reduce transaction costs, achieving cost reduction and efficiency improvement, and further unleashing the market potential of the central and western regions.
