Therefore, the single ticket price will naturally fall after the Spring Festival holiday. Referring to the performance of express delivery volume in historical years, the average daily express delivery volume continues to rise after March, and express enterprises will also reduce prices from March to April to improve the capacity utilization rate in the traditional off-season. It is expected that the express price will continue to fall after March to April.

From a long-term perspective, with the transformation and upgrading of China's manufacturing industry, leading enterprises that can provide higher quality standards and customized differentiated services will stand out.
