History

Recent years have witnessed domestic and international mail markets evolving at a rapid pace around the globe.

Most mail markets are involved in a process of increasing liberalisation, operators are looking to add value outside their traditional areas of competence and customers are becoming increasingly sophisticated in their demands with respect to mail.

Since 1995 Triangle has been reporting on these developments through its International Mail Study and more recently through the World Mail Review – Focus: International Mail.

This study has now been expanded into a truly unequalled global insight into mail markets at country level.

A carefully structured and executed programme of qualitative and quantitative research, the World Mail Review is designed to supply subscribers with comprehensive reports detailing the

developments and opinions of the industry’s major participants including postal operators, customers, regulators and supplementary service providers.
