THE TURKISH CEP MARKET

A NEW PARCEL ELDORADO?

Turkey has emerged as one of top growth markets for CEP carriers thanks to a strong manufacturing base, a dynamic e-commerce expansion, a prime geo-strategic location, numerous foreign investments and other factors.

The recently released results of our new Turkey CEP Market Report demonstrate strong volume growth of more than 20% in 2022, in stark contrast to Europe and North America whose markets decreased by -2.7% and -1.5% respectively.

2023 UKRAINIAN CEP MARKET REPORT

Effigy Consulting, in collaboration with Last Mile Experts, has just released a detailed analysis of the Ukrainian Parcel Market.

Despite a tragic war in Ukraine resulting in a highly challenging geopolitical situation, the Parcel Market was able to remain very active.
The continued activity of parcel carriers has been vital for Ukrainians: first by helping relocate key activities to ‘safer’ areas of Ukraine, and second by enabling the people to send/receive goods both within the country and cross-border. It is estimated that the drop on the Ukrainian CEP Market for 2022 was of only -8.0% in revenue and of -17.4% in volume.
