DPDgroup has revealed its 2020 results and announces its strategy for the next 5 years. Amidst the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic, DPDgroup has become an essential ally in the delivery of vital goods for customers and businesses alike, resulting in a 42% increase in revenue growth compared to 2019.
By 2025, DPDgroup aims to expand core activities, accelerate initiatives and conquer new horizons, through its plan named "Together & beyond."

I) 2020: DPDgroup has broken all records, leading to incredible figures
  • 11 billion Euros in revenue, a 42% growth vs. 2019
    35% of Le Groupe La Poste's revenue originated from DPDgroup in 2020
    1.9 billion parcels delivered worldwide, equivalent to 7.5 million per day (an increase of half a billion parcels vs. 2019)
    Record peak day of 13.9 million parcels handled worldwide on Cyber Monday (30 November 2020)
    More than half (55%) of the parcels delivered worldwide were B2C (+57% organic growth vs. 2019)
    Doubling of profits from 2019 (800 million Euros)
    Full integration of BRT in Italy and Jadlog in Brazil
COVID-19: an unexpected surge of volumes with key learnings

Covid 19 led to an unexpected surge for the parcel industry. Countrywide lockdowns, self-isolation and preventative measures prompted a soar in deliveries, with half a billion more parcels delivered by DPDgroup in 2020 as compared to 2019.

The health crisis also caused customer trends expected for 2024 to surface far in advance, such as a heightened urban logistics demand and a greater sense of environmental responsibility.
With the soar experienced in urban logistics, Stuart, the technological platform for express urban delivery, made 19.7 million deliveries in France, Poland, Spain and the UK, +75% vs. 2019.

The market also noticed a significant shift towards B2C. At DPDgroup, 55% are now 2C volumes.

Additionally, specific delivery categories such as food and healthcare experienced unprecedented demand. In France, for example, Chronofresh more than doubled volumes reaching +115%.

Regarding healthcare, DPDgroup subsidiaries have been and still are very active. For example, thousands of vaccine doses have already been delivered in France by Chronopost, in Spain by Tipsa and in South Africa by Biocair.

Boris Winkelmann, CEO and Chairman of DPDgroup, states:
"At DPDgroup, we have demonstrated the resilience, flexibility and agility expected of an organisation our size. These qualities helped us keep the world in motion during the pandemic, quickly creating and adopting new practices and coping with increased volumes efficiently. These strengths will be key in seizing the new opportunities that lie ahead."

2020: DPDgroup's main achievements and expansion

Along with trends, volumes also witnessed an acceleration, requiring swift adaptation to ensure the safe continuation of operations.
DPDgroup was the first delivery company to implement contactless delivery, deciding to keep service active within Pickup (its parcel shop network), and opened more than 70 new hubs & depots to reach a total of 1,200.
Furthermore, over 20,000 direct and indirect employees were added to the network to keep up with volumes.

In this context of high demand, DPDgroup's volumes grew by 24% and revenue by 23% in organic growth.
DPDgroup reported a particularly strong increase in volumes in countries where B2C was already representing the most important share of activity: Brazil (+80%), Ireland (+47%), the UK (+39%), Russia (32%), Poland (+24%), Spain (+23%). In countries where the share of B2B remains more important, the total growth has been impacted by the economic slowdown affecting B2B businesses: France (+9% by DPD and +13% by Chronopost), Germany (+13%).

Several key developments took place in the year 2020, such as the takeover of BRT (85%), Italy's leading parcel delivery company, Geis Parcel, logistics company in the Czech Republic and Slovakia, and an increase to 98% capital in Brazil's leading parcel delivery player Jadlog.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.
