The Luxembourg Regulatory Institute (ILR) recently released its 2022 postal service statistics. Notably, the number of letters sent last year decreased by 8.5%, compared to 2021, still totalling nearly 140 million. In contrast, the parcel sector exhibited a steady upward trajectory, with 16.5 million parcels despatched, marking a 7.8% surge over the previous year.
This growing reliance on parcels has translated into a significant impact on the postal market, with parcels now contributing to 46% of its total turnover. In 2022, the postal market’s overall revenue saw a modest increase of 1.1%, reaching €194.24 million.
The postal sector employs around 2,000 people in Luxembourg, 62% of whom work for POST Luxembourg.
