185 million parcels
In 2023, Swiss Post staff processed and delivered 185 million parcels throughout Switzerland, including those destined for abroad. That’s 4.7 percent fewer than the previous year. But a Herculean task nonetheless!
Number of parcels processed by Swiss Post
20 parcels per person
If all the parcels were distributed equally throughout Switzerland’s population of around 9 million people, you would have received 20 parcels by post in 2023. That obviously didn’t happen – many were delivered to companies or sent abroad. So are you above or below this average?
+24 percent
As a comparison with the pre-pandemic period, the parcel volume was up by 24 percent in relation to 2019. Forecasts and trends indicate that growth in online commerce will continue over the coming years. The current decline is just temporary.
