The Business Research Company — Postal Automation Market to Reach $5.56 Billion by 2030 (paid)

The Business Research Company released a dedicated study of the global postal automation market, valued at $4.16 billion in 2025, forecasting $4.45 billion in 2026 at a growth rate of 6.8%, to $5.56 billion by 2030 at a 5.8% growth rate. Historical growth was driven by the expansion of national postal infrastructure, increasing mail processing requirements, early adoption of automated letter sorting, and pressure to reduce operational costs and modernize aging postal systems. Future growth is linked to the surging volumes of e-commerce parcels, investments in smart postal infrastructure, demand for faster last-mile delivery, and wider automation across courier networks. Trends include automated mail sorting, intelligent parcel sorting, greater use of robots, and software-based postal workflow optimization. Companies covered in the report include Siemens, Honeywell, Toshiba, NEC, Leonardo, Murata Machinery, Dematic, Yaskawa Electric, Pitney Bowes, Vanderlande, Körber, BEUMER Group, Interroll, OPEX, Bastian Solutions, Solystic, Falcon Autotech, GBI Intralogistics, EuroSort and Bowe Systec. In September 2024, Bizerba announced a partnership with Bluhm Weber to develop an integrated system for weighing and labeling packages meeting the new German Postal Act requirements for heavier parcels over 10 and 20 kilograms. The report also highlights Viettel Post's Hanoi facility, which began operating in January 2024 with 160 LiBiao 'Mini Yellow' robots processing approximately 6,000 parcels per hour. The market is segmented by type (canceller and canceller machines, letter sorting machines, flat sorting machines, parcel sorting machines, mixed mail sorting machines) and by component (hardware, software, services).
