Deutsche Post World Net Annual Report 2008
Global market leader in supply chain solutions
 is the world leader in outsourced contract logistics with a market share of
.  . We are one of only a few globally operating companies in this fragmented
market.  e size of the outsourced contract logistics market is estimated to be bil-
lion. Our leading position allows us to leverage global competences to better serve our
customers in the local markets where we operate.
e market for document management and  is likewise highly fragmented,
being shaped by just a few specialists o ering either a very limited set of services or
occupying exclusive niches.  anks to our broad range of international services and
excellent customer base, we lead this market under our Williams Lea brand.
Strategy and goals
Targeted and profi table growth
In the year under review, we witnessed a di cult economic climate a ecting
our customers, especially in the  nancial and automotive sectors. We also see the cur-
rent economic climate, however, as an opportunity because an increasing number of
companies look to outsource their logistics requirements and information processes
during challenging economic times.
Our goal is to achieve good  nancial results whilst supplying high-quality
services. We intend to continue improving innovation, quality and productivity, whilst
providing career development opportunities for our employees, and to be a socially
responsible organisation.
We anticipate pro table growth in the middle single digits over the long term
in our two largest markets, Europe and North America. In the developing markets of
Asia, Latin America and Eastern Europe, we have active sales and marketing organi-
sations aimed at continuing to selectively expand our presence. In , we succeeded
in increasing revenue by nearly   in these key emerging economies.
We will continue to standardise our business models and deliver services to our
customers more e ciently.
