Post carried fewer parcels and letters in 2022

Because of the Ukraine war and Corona

Post transported fewer parcels and letters in 2022 than in the previous year

In 2022, Swiss Post transported around 194 million parcels and 1.75 billion letters. That was four percent less than in 2021.

The Post explains the decline in parcel deliveries with depressed consumer sentiment since the Ukraine war, according to a statement on Tuesday. In 2022, global supply bottlenecks as a result of the corona pandemic would also have meant that many retailers were unable to order their goods with delays or at all.

While the number of parcels delivered has recently been rising annually, a downward trend has been noticeable in the letters delivered for some time. In the last ten years, the volume of letters has fallen by around a third, according to the statement.
