An Australia Post official has revealed that the traditional mail carrier will likely see a drop of $200 million in business this year.
In addition to losing $200 million in business this year, those losses will increasingly get “bigger and bigger as people move from physical to digital communications,” said Catriona Larritt, who is General Manager, of Post Digital at Australia Post at the Digital Productivity Conference in Brisbane recently.
The organisation has been losing about 4 to 5% of physical mail volume since 2008 and this year, it will deliver one billion fewer letters than in 2008.
She also said that Australia Post is three years into a five-year transitional program to address the shift from physical to digital communications. So far the program has resulted in the relatively new Digital Mailbox service and other e-commerce initiatives.

According to an article published at the Sydney herald Newspaper, the business-to-consumer e-commerce has passed a trillion US dollars in a single year for the first time. In 2012, more than 10 million people, or almost 50% of the population, had bought something online, spending an average of $3,547 per person.
What is more interesting about this news is that the average expenditure per online buyer in Australia is higher than in the US and the UK by 54 per cent. It is also expected that the average expenditure per online buyer for Australia will grow by 7.2 per cent this year.
This means that the physical stores are definitely going to be affected by this change, it is the time for online stores to dominate the market.
