Abstract

Express delivery industry is formed of stages of the formation, development, maturity and other developmental status. The definition of its developmental stage makes it feasible to formulate more scientific and reasonable measures to promote better development of the express delivery industry. The logistic growth model is fitted with the data of Zhejiang’ express delivery volume per capita from 2007 to 2017. The results show that Zhejiang express delivery industry was in the stage of formation from 2007 to 2015 and was in the early growth stage from 2015 to 2017. It is predicted that the express delivery industry will be in the late growth stage from 2017 to 2019 and will enter the mature stage from 2019. Based on the conclusion, this paper makes suggestion aiming at the current situation to promote the sustained and healthy development of Zhejiang ’express delivery industry.
