Parcel delivery and logistics infrastructure are expanding across Austria and Germany to accommodate rising e-commerce volumes. In Austria, the number of parcel lockers has more than doubled to 6,860, following a period where the country handled approximately 451.4 million parcels in 2025.

Logistics providers are diversifying their hardware solutions to meet consumer demand. In Germany, Knobloch has introduced the KNOBOX, a mechanical, non-electronic parcel box for residential use. Meanwhile, the Austrian Post is increasing its 24/7 self-service station network, particularly in regions like Vorarlberg, where parcel volumes have grown from three million in 2016 to over eleven million in 2025.
