After the international players decided to leave the Russian market, the number of orders for commercial delivery to CDEK increased by 10-15 times, said Andrey Pobezhimov, head of the company’s international logistics and foreign economic activity service.
As Ilya Yaroshenko, president of the Baon online store, noted, after the departure of international companies, “no one wanted to take on such operations at adequate prices.”
According to Dmitry Leonov, Deputy Chairman of the Board of the Association “Rusprodsoyuz”, the emergence of new services in the commercial delivery market will promote competition among logisticians and reduce the cost of such services. Retailers of clothes, footwear, cosmetics and furniture will use the greatest demand for commercial delivery services.
