📋 Tender Overview
The increase in shipping traffic, the entry of the Port of Chancay and the consolidation of the sea route redefine the postal model in Peru.International electronic commerce continues to set the tone in the evolution of the postal sector in Peru. In this sense, the Ministry of Transport and Communications (MTC), through Serpost, announced that it plans to process approximately 6.7 million shipments during 2026, a figure that reflects its leading role in the dynamics of cross-border online purchases.
According to official data, it is estimated that 5.6 million of these shipments will come from abroad, mainly from Asian platforms, while 1.1 million will originate in Peru, with distribution both nationally and internationally.
Regarding internal demand, it is indicated that 60% of shipments are distributed in Lima and 40% in the provinces, with a greater concentration in cities in the north of the country.
On the other hand, in relation to changes in the logistics strategy, he highlighted that the opening of the Port of Chancay has driven a reconfiguration of Serposts postal model. This new scenario arouses the interest of e-commerce platforms, such as TEMU, and large logistics operators, who are looking for other alternatives given the capacity limitations and high costs of air transport compared to sea transport.
Along these lines, he pointed out that these platforms have begun to promote the marketing of products of greater weight and volume within the postal framework. As a result, it is expected to exceed 400 containers mobilized by the end of 2026, which would allow maritime transport to reach close to 40% participation in postal imports, compared to the 0.5% registered in the last three decades.
Likewise, it has been identified that 27% of shipments exceed 2 kilograms and that the dimensions of the packages have grown by 87%, posing new challenges for the operational and distribution capacity of the postal operator.
The Ministry of Transport and Communications noted that the growth of international e-commerce is a key driver for the improvement of postal operations and reaffirmed its commitment to providing a secure and reliable service for millions of users, strengthening the countrys connection with global markets.
