Dublin, May 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Australia E-Commerce Logistics Market Outlook to 2029" has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The Australia e-commerce logistics market is currently valued at AUD 18.17 billion, showcasing steady growth driven by rising mobile commerce penetration and increasing cross-border purchases. The market's robustness is highlighted by 623.1 million shipments, fueled by consumers' inclination towards convenience and digital payments. Retailers are expanding logistics operations to efficiently serve both metropolitan and regional areas.
Key regions such as Victoria, New South Wales, and Western Australia dominate the domestic logistics landscape due to population density and mature infrastructure. Major cities like Sydney and Melbourne experience significant e-commerce transactions, especially during promotional events like Black Friday. Notably, Western Australia's increasing online order share is attributed to higher incomes and strong regional delivery networks.
Australia's regulatory environment supports e-commerce growth through frameworks focused on digital transaction security and cross-border compliance. With over 5.6 million households shopping online monthly, and 48.8% of transactions processed via platforms like PayPal, government initiatives emphasize cyber-security and consumer data privacy. Investments in delivery infrastructure and warehousing further propel the logistics sector.
Market Segmentation
The market is segmented by delivery type into standard and express delivery. Standard delivery leads, owing to balanced cost structures and widespread reach, while express delivery caters to time-sensitive segments like electronics. By shipment weight, lightweight parcels dominate, associated with frequent online purchases in categories such as fashion and cosmetics, whereas heavyweight parcels, like electronics, occupy a smaller market share due to handling complexities.
Competitive Landscape
The market is consolidated, with Australia Post, Toll Group, and Couriers Please handling the majority of shipments. These top players are investing in parcel automation and smart locker systems. Meanwhile, global entities like DHL and FedEx focus on cross-border logistics.
Market Analysis and Drivers
The market is propelled by increasing e-commerce gross merchandise value, reaching AUD 77.72 billion, and generating 1.19 billion shipments. The rise of omnichannel retail strategies necessitates advanced logistics solutions like integrated warehousing and flexible last-mile networks. Expansion beyond metro areas through regional fulfillment centers enhances delivery speed and cost efficiency.
Challenges
The high cost of last-mile delivery in low-density areas poses challenges due to long distances and low order concentration. Additionally, smaller logistics providers face limitations in adopting automation technologies, impacting operational efficiency.
Future Outlook
The market is poised for growth, driven by advancements in regional fulfillment infrastructure and automation adoption. As demand for faster, transparent delivery services grows, providers will enhance last-mile networks and leverage technology to meet evolving consumer expectations.
Opportunities
The expansion of smart lockers and self-service pickup models, along with the transition to electric delivery fleets, present significant opportunities. These innovations will reduce delivery costs, align with sustainability goals, and meet the demand for convenience in urban centers.
