DHL warns Germany’s postal service faces collapse without urgent reforms
DHL insists that integrating its parcel and letter businesses requires new facilities and significant investment. The company estimates that annual revenue from these operations must exceed €1 billion to cover costs. However, it argues that the January postage rate increase was insufficient to meet these demands in Germany.
DHL’s warnings highlight the financial pressures on Germany’s postal system. The company’s planned upgrades depend on higher revenues, either through tariff increases or regulatory support. Without these adjustments, the €1.3 billion annual profit target—and the future of universal service—remains uncertain in Germany.
