Postal Services at a Turning Point: Exploring New Frontiers
23 Sept 2026
Smart Logistics Hub
Postal operators must move beyond declining mail and low-margin parcel delivery. Their future depends on choosing a clear role in eCommerce logistics, and executing it fast. This transformation requires navigating economic, political, social, and environmental tensions linked to public service obligations and fast-growing cross-border eCommerce. The central strategic challenge is no longer whether to adapt, but which position to choose - and how quickly to execute it.
