Spain's Express Parcel Market Surpasses €10 Billion for the First Time in 2024
In 2024, the Spanish courier and parcel market will reach a size of 10.05 billion euros, marking a 4.7% year-on-year growth and surpassing the 10 billion threshold for the first time. The business parcel segment contributes 7.15 billion euros (+5.3%) and remains the core growth driver. Industrial parcels reach 2.9 billion euros (+3.2%), benefiting from digitalization and the application of artificial intelligence. International business growth accelerates to 8.2% (2.5 billion euros), significantly outpacing the domestic increase of 3.6%. Industry concentration continues to rise, with the top five corporate and industrial parcel operators accounting for 47% and 51% of the market share, respectively. Looking ahead, declining interest rates and continued e-commerce development are expected to support moderate market growth, although geopolitical risks and inflationary pressures may constrain the growth rate.

Institutional Outlook for Polyethylene in 2030: Production Capacity Oversupply Worsens Annually
Institutional statistics show that the global polyethylene capacity growth is expected to be more than twice the demand growth. Until 2030, polyethylene demand growth is about 3.3 million tons per year, while the average capacity growth is 6.7 million tons per year. The growth in 2026 and 2027 may be particularly strong. Of the 34 million tons per year of reserve capacity by 2030, about 85% is under construction, mainly large steam cracking units supported by major oil and chemical companies. This surge in supply will drive a restructuring of the global polyethylene market. New, lower-cost large facilities will replace less competitive older assets. Starting from 2026, the pace of capacity closures in Europe and developed East Asia (including Japan and South Korea) will accelerate. -
