As China's population ages and labor costs rise, the international express delivery industry faces certain pressures in terms of manpower. The previous model of relying on a large number of cheap labor to sort and deliver packages has gradually become unsustainable. This has prompted international express delivery companies to increase investment in technology research and development and introduce automated equipment, such as intelligent sorting robots and driverless delivery vehicles, to improve work efficiency and reduce labor costs.
At the same time, changes in consumption structure have also had an impact on the international express delivery industry. With the increase in the proportion of the elderly population, the demand for related products such as medical care and elderly care services has increased, and the business volume of international express delivery in these areas is expected to increase. However, the relative decrease in the proportion of the young population may lead to a decline in demand for some consumer categories such as fashion and entertainment, and the business of international express delivery in these areas may be affected to a certain extent.
In addition, changes in population structure will also affect consumption concepts and habits. The elderly pay more attention to the cost-effectiveness and practicality of goods, and may have relatively low demands for the timeliness and personalization of express delivery services; while young people are more pursuing fast, convenient and personalized service experience. International express delivery companies need to optimize service content and service methods according to the needs of consumers of different age groups.
In terms of market competition, changes in the population structure have also made the competition landscape of the international express delivery industry more complex. Some small express delivery companies may find it difficult to cope with the challenges brought about by changes in the population structure due to limitations in funds and technology, and thus be eliminated in the market competition; while large express delivery companies, relying on their strong resource integration capabilities and technological innovation capabilities, further consolidate and expand their market share by optimizing business structures and expanding service areas.
On the other hand, the similar population structure between China and Japan in the 1990s also provides some reference and inspiration for the international express delivery industry. For example, in the process of coping with the aging population, Japan's express delivery companies focused on improving service quality and brand image, and won the market through refined management and differentiated services. China's international express delivery companies can learn from these experiences, strengthen brand building, improve service levels, and enhance market competitiveness.
In short, the changes in China's population structure are both challenges and opportunities for the international express delivery industry. Only by actively responding and constantly innovating can international express delivery companies remain invincible in the fierce market competition and achieve sustainable development.
