Shenyang Municipal Postal Administration announced the operation situation of the city's express industry in January and February this year on March 16. The data shows that in the first two months, the city’s express industry has soared, the business volume exceeded 100 million pieces, and achieved 101.79 percent year-on-year growth. 

Data 1

The business volume doubled in the first two months. 

From January to February this year, the business volume of express service enterprises in the city was 101.2029 million pieces, with a year-on-year growth of 101.79 percent. The business revenue reached 937 million RMB Yuan, up 46.59 percent year on year. In February, including the Spring Festival holiday, the business volume of express delivery service enterprises in the city was 37.5326 million pieces, up 60.84 percent year on year. The business revenue reached 369 million RMB Yuan, up 25.01 percent year on year. 

It is worth mentioning that in the first two months of 2021, the city's express business volume has exceeded 100 million pieces, equivalent to the level of Shenyang's annual express business volume in 2015. 

Data 2 

The off-site express volume accounted for 80 percent. 

Whether from the growth rate or the proportion, the off-site express business is very eye-catching. The data shows that from January to February, the intra-city business volume completed 22.4898 million pieces, up 25.90 percent year on year. The off-site business volume completed 78.5945 million pieces, up 144.04 percent year on year. The volume of international and Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan business completed 118,700 pieces, up 42.09 percent year on year. 

The intra-city, off-site, and international/Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan express deliveries accounted for 22.22 percent, 77.66 percent and 0.12 percent of all express deliveries, respectively. Compared with the same period last year, the proportion of intra-city express delivery volume decreased by 13.40 percent, the proportion of off-site express delivery volume increased by 13.45 percent, and the proportion of international/Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan business volume decreased by 0.05 percent. 

In this regard, the practitioners in the express industry believe that the call to "stay put during the Spring Festival holiday" and the holding of the online Spring Festival shopping festival has formed a "new Spring Festival travel rush" of "goods moving but people not moving", which has led to a substantial increase in the volume of domestic off-site express business. 

Data 3

From January to February this year, the growth of express business volume in Shenyang was 1.5 percent higher than the national level. In the first two months of the national ranking of the top 50 cities in express business volume, Shenyang successfully ranked among the top 30, 6 places higher than in 2020, and is the only city in the Northeast region to enter the top 50 cities in national express business volume.
