Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/5fk487/uk_express) has announced the addition of the "UK Express Parcels: Market insight report" report to their offering.

This report reviews the UK parcels market encompassing the business-to-business, business-to-consumer and consumer / small business consigned segments.

It quantifies the market size, historical growth rates, segmentation patterns and levels of industry profitability while reviewing key factors behind these figures.

Market size estimate is derived from a bottom-up model of the revenues of all of the operators in the market with adjustments made to take into account a range of factors. This model has been regularly updated and refined since it was first developed in 2004.

The report also carries out an in-depth analysis of the relevant drivers of industry growth - in particular the macroeconomic environment and home shopping - setting out historical trends and available forecasts.

Forecast for industry growth by segment is based on this analysis of historical trends and our understanding of growth drivers.

The report is intended for parcels carriers themselves, users of their services, partners, investors, banks, analysts, consultants and other parties with interests in the sector.
