Global Shipping Company Delivers Over 100 Million Packages Every Day
Jakarta, Tuesday, 20 October 2026.
Logistics firm J&T Express handled a record 9.58 billion packages in the third quarter of 2026, driven by a 44.5% volume surge in Southeast Asia.
Record-Breaking Quarterly Performance
Logistics giant J&T Express recorded a 24.8% year-on-year increase in global parcel volumes for the third quarter of 2026, delivering nearly 9.6 billion packages [1]. The Hong Kong-listed company handled a total of 9.58 billion parcels between July and September 2026, exceeding the 100 million daily mark for the second consecutive quarter [3]. This performance slightly outpaced the 23.1% growth rate achieved during the same period last year, demonstrating sustained momentum across core Asian and emerging international markets [1]. The year-on-year growth represents an increase of 1.9 billion parcels compared with the 7.68 billion items handled in Q3 2025, a rate calculable as 24.74 [1]. This surge reinforces the company’s position as one of the world’s largest parcel delivery operators amidst global macroeconomic uncertainty [1].
Regional Growth Drivers
Southeast Asia maintains strong growth leadership, with包裹量 (parcel volume) in the region reaching 2.89 billion pieces in the third quarter, a 44.5% increase year-on-year [4]. This regional performance contributes significantly to the global total, representing a substantial portion of the 9.58 billion global parcels 30.167 [1][4]. Concurrently, business in China accelerated, with 6.43 billion parcels handled in the region during the quarter, marking a 15.3%同比 (year-on-year) increase [4]. Infrastructure expansion supported this volume, as sorting centers in Southeast Asia increased by 10 to 131 locations compared to the end of 2025 [4]. These figures highlight the company’s strategy of utilizing scale to offset declining revenue per parcel while expanding partnerships in key markets [3].
Operational Scale and Efficiency
In terms of operational throughput, J&T Express handled an average of 104.2 million parcels per day between July and September 2026 [1]. For the first nine months of 2026, the fast-expanding company delivered 27.09 billion parcels, up 25% year-on-year, with average daily volumes reaching 99.2 million [1]. The company is therefore on course to comfortably surpass its full-year 2025 record of 30.13 billion parcels [1]. To support this throughput, the company is pursuing automation to improve efficiency, aiming to spread fixed costs across the growing volume [3]. Daily averages above 100 million indicate a robust capacity to handle peak season demands anticipated in the latter half of the year [3].
Market Outlook and Risks
J&T Express made its 3Q2026 Quarterly Results available on its investor relations portal, including a dedicated webcast and presentation materials as of 19 October 2026 [2]. Analyst consensus projects J&T Global Express will reach US$24.9 billion in revenue and US$1.3 billion in earnings by 2029, representing a 20.1% annual revenue growth rate [3]. However, risks remain regarding capital needs for network expansion and technology, combined with pricing pressure in China, which could keep returns under strain [3]. As of 19 October 2026, the market continues to monitor whether higher global throughput can improve unit economics without triggering price wars [3]. Investors are advised to compare these volume expectations with cautious forecasts regarding free cash flow stability [3].
