Packeta significantly increased the number of its parcel machines
The number of parcel machines of Packeta Hungary increased to 800 by the end of last year from 29 at the beginning of the year, and further expansion of the network is planned, the logistics service provider told MTI.
According to the company’s information, not only has the package delivery market started to grow rapidly in recent years, but customer needs have also changed.
The 2022 online parcel logistics overview of market researcher GKID revealed that while the popularity of home delivery did not change last year, the popularity of parcel machines increased by 14 percentage points, Packeta recalled.

Last year, in the third quarter of the year, 10 percent of the packages delivered by Packeta were picked up from a vending machine, the ratio was 18 percent at the end of the year, and in January 2023 it reached 22 percent.
Packeta handled nearly 1.6 million packages in Hungary in 2022, which is 144 percent more than in 2021, they said.
The number of parcel points, i.e. the number of pick-up points set up in business premises, increased by one and a half times last year, to 1,200, so together with the machines, packages delivered by Packeta can be picked up at 2,000 pick-up points.
