Report highlights:

• UK parcels volumes grew by 7% year-on-year in 2024, while revenue growth slowed to 3% (down from 9% in 2023).
• Growth in parcel volumes was driven primarily by e-commerce, especially the expanding C2C and second-hand (pre-loved) market.
• 72% of regular UK online shoppers now use C2C platforms, highlighting a major shift in consumer behaviour.
• Cautious spending has reshaped shopping habits, elevating marketplaces and SMEs as a dominant “super retail channel.”
• Inflation-driven costs, including high fuel prices, have constrained revenue growth and reduced profitability for parcel operators.
