The top 5 DHL (Deutsche Post), La Poste/ Geopost, TNT, UPS and Royal Mail/GLS controlled over half of this total but are facing tough competition from other players in an extremely challenging enviroment.

DHL is still the leader in the European Courier, Express and Parcels (CEP) market with a share of just under 18%, while TNT follows behind but they, as well as the other integrators FedEx and UPS, are challenged by national and regional road-based operators that are benefitting from the shift in demand towards more cost-effective alternatives.
