Reflecting the sheer scale of demand, the country now averages more than 5,400 parcels per second, with daily peaks exceeding 729 million and monthly transaction volumes exceeding 13 billion, the latest SPB data showed.

Express delivery has also become an integral part of everyday life, with the average Chinese citizen receiving more than 100 parcels a year.

According to the SPB, the expansion of express delivery in the country extends beyond urban centers, with regions in western and central China recording delivery volumes above the national average. (By Jia Xiaojing/China Youth Daily)
