08:45; 05 November 2025 year

The number of companies in the Russian courier services market has increased by 16% year-on-year, reaching 16,100, according to data from the Rusprofile service, as reported by Kommersant. Experts attribute the market growth to the increasing popularity of grocery delivery services and the expansion of online retail in regions. According to Rosstat, the volume of courier services provided to the population reached 49.8 billion rubles from January to September 2025, showing a year-on-year increase of 26.74%. However, the market is expected to experience a gradual slowdown in growth rates. Consumers are increasingly opting to pick up orders at collection points, which are being opened even in small towns, while food retailers are shifting away from courier companies in favor of developing their own delivery services. As a result, smaller players will likely be forced out of the market.
