Exceeding expectations
Commenting on the results, Rafał Brzoska, CEO of InPost, said, “2024 has been another milestone for InPost Group, exceeding our expectations from the beginning of the year across all our markets. We set new records in both volumes delivered and network expansion. For the first time ever, our total volume surpassed one billion parcels and APM deployment exceeded 11,000 machines.
“We concluded the year with another successfully managed peak season, handling a record almost 14 million parcels on our busiest pre-Christmas day. In Poland, our benchmark market, InPost was again the only logistics provider that guaranteed delivery of parcels until the very last moment on the Christmas Eve.
“Last year, we strengthened our market leadership in Poland with exceptional performance. We have further expanded our network to over 25,000 APMs, and our volume growth significantly surpassed the market. InPost’s newly launched services, including Pay and loyalty program, have already begun contributing to incremental parcel volumes,” he continued.
“In the UK, we completed the acquisition of Menzies, giving us full ownership of the entire UK logistics process. Last year, we doubled our volume YoY and recently we launched B2C offering in that market, with over 20 merchants already using the InPost ‘collect’ service.
“Mondial Relay markets are growing in line with our strategy in B2C and APM volume. In all markets we continue to focus on UX [user experience] improvements and network expansion. Based on strong Q4 trading results, we feel comfortable with our full-year outlook communicated in November and we are excited about the opportunities that lie ahead.”
