InPost Group, a leading e-commerce logistics provider, has announced a landmark year in 2024, achieving record-breaking growth across its operations. The company delivered an impressive 1.09 billion parcels, marking a 22% year-on-year increase, and expanded its network with the installation of 11,500 new automated parcel machines (APMs). By the end of the year, InPost operated 46,977 APMs, a significant 33% growth compared to the previous year. InPost’s President, Rafał Brzoska, highlighted the company’s achievements, stating, “2024 was a record year for InPost in every way. For the first time, we delivered over 1 billion parcels, installed more than 11,500 new APMs, and handled nearly 14 million parcels on a single day during the pre-Christmas period. In Poland, we expanded our network to over 25,000 machines, ensuring that nearly 90% of city residents have an APM within a seven-minute walk.” The company’s growth was driven by strong performances across its key markets. In Poland, InPost delivered 709.3 million parcels, a 20% increase year-on-year, fueled by demand from small and medium-sized merchants, the fashion sector, and domestic and international marketplaces. In the Mondial Relay markets, which include France, Spain, Portugal, and Italy, InPost delivered 266.6 million parcels, an 11% increase. The UK market saw the most dramatic growth, with parcel deliveries doubling to 93.2 million. The fourth quarter of 2024 was particularly strong for InPost, with 322.1 million parcels delivered, a 20% year-on-year increase. The company achieved a record-breaking day during the holiday season, processing nearly 14 million parcels across Europe. In Poland, Q4 deliveries reached 209.9 million parcels, while Mondial Relay markets handled 77.7 million parcels, an increase driven largely by a 28% rise in B2C segment volumes. In the UK, InPost delivered 27.2 million parcels, a 58% year-on-year increase, achieving its best quarterly result to date. InPost also made significant strides in expanding its network. By the end of 2024, the company operated over 82,000 out-of-home points, with APMs accounting for 57% of the total. In Poland, the number of APMs increased by 15% to more than 25,000 machines. Research conducted by Kantar revealed that 93% of Polish online shoppers consider InPost parcel lockers their preferred delivery option. In Mondial Relay markets, the out-of-home network grew by 18% to over 31,000 locations, including nearly 4,000 new APMs. In the UK, InPost strengthened its leading position by adding nearly 3,000 APMs, bringing the total to over 9,200 devices. Looking ahead, InPost plans to continue its strategic growth by enhancing logistics operations, improving user experience, and expanding its presence in key markets. The company remains committed to maintaining its leadership position in Poland, France, and the UK, while doubling its footprint in markets like Spain, Portugal, and Italy. Founded in 1999 by Rafał Brzoska, InPost has become a cornerstone of e-commerce logistics, providing parcel locker services, courier solutions, and fulfillment services. Its acquisition of French logistics firm Mondial Relay in July 2021 bolstered its position in the European market. InPost has been listed on Euronext Amsterdam since January 2021.
