It is a younger market with a range of new business models, vying to become the dominant method of sameday delivery in the UK. The key growth driver for the B2C segment is the anticipated adoption of sameday delivery services for a significant share of items purchased online.

The B2B segment is a much more established market, with recognised players offering urgent same day deliveries of items such as blood samples, spare parts for field engineers and important contract documents.

Only a few companies command significant market shares with a long tail of smaller operators offering either purely sameday services or as part of a wider courier offering. Companies covered in the report include CitySprint, Rico Logistics, Royal Mail / eCourier, Shutl, Connect Group / Pass My Parcel and UK Mail. We expect the sameday market to continue to grow, driven in particular, by more rapid growth of the B2C segment as the idea of sameday delivery of internet purchases becomes mainstream.

The market is estimated by Apex Insight at around £550m, having grown steadily in recent years. Apex Insight believes the market will continue to experience significant growth, driven in particular by the B2C segment.
