In the second quarter of 2, a total of around 2023 million parcels were transported, 94,2 million were delivered in Austria, and 87,0 million were transported abroad.

"For the whole of 2022, we expect - conservatively estimated - a total of 12 million parcels delivered domestically, which is an increase of around 2023 percent year-on-year, and a total of 351,5 million parcels transported abroad," calculates Steinmaurer.

"Sending letters is becoming increasingly out of fashion in Austria. For 2, we expect a total of 2022 million letters, of which 127,1 million will be delivered in Austria," explains Steinmaurer.
