Future of Posts 2026: Retuning the Profit Engine
Why is revenue recovering while profitability still lags?
Escher’s Future of Posts 2026 research, reveals where postal operators are gaining ground on profitability, from parcel yield pressure to AI and USO reform. Watch the full webinar recording at your own pace.
Revenue is trending upward across the industry, but profitability remains under strain. The research points to falling parcel yields, driven by oversupply and slower-than-expected market consolidation, as the real culprit, and shows where operators are now redirecting investment to turn that around.
In this on-demand session, Brody Buhler, CEO of Escher Group, walks through the full findings from this year’s global postal industry survey, including:
- Why falling parcel yields, not mail decline, are the real drag on profitability, and where investment is flowing as cost pressure eases
- Why attention is shifting back from mail toward e-commerce and cross-border growth, with USO reform now the top five-year priority
- How rising demand for delivery control is starting to rival demand for speed, and what that means for cost and customer experience
- Why AI adoption has accelerated sharply this year, and what separates the operators getting real value from it
- What’s driving new momentum in reverse logistics, self-service retail, and cross-border compliance
