After months of detailed research, the editorial team of the CEP News is pleased to
present you up-to-date facts and information on the most important express and
postal markets and their key players in the "Media Reference Guide CEP and Logistics". This Reference Guide offers journalists and others interested in this rapidly growing international market a unique and well-founded overview of relevant market partners as well as an insight into the connections linking domestic and international players. The information provided helps to make the dynamic structures transparent

The increasingly important role of the commercial exchange of goods and its
globalisation are strong trends which cannot be ignored, and a growing number of players worldwide determine its speed. In addition to established and developed economies in Europe, North America and Asia, emerging economies such as Brazil are now coming to the fore. Their enormous economic dynamism and growing participation in world trade are factors which increasingly affect the development in global logistics markets.
