Market statistics
With these statistics, the Office for Communications provides verified data on the postal market. The data collection underlying the statistics is based on the legal definitions of the Act of March 2, 2023, on Postal Services and Parcel Delivery Services (Postdienste- und Paketzustelldienstegesetz; PPG).
The statistics contain consolidated data from all registered postal service providers on
- the number of postal service providers, employees, and subcontractors;
- the postal network infrastructure: access and delivery points;
- the use of access and delivery points for letters, parcels, and other postal items;
- the postal items: letters and parcels sent domestically, sent abroad, and received from abroad (domestic: from Liechtenstein to Liechtenstein; abroad divided into EEA and non-EEA)
The second part of the statistics provides information on the universal service, which, according to Art. 41 para. 3 PPG, is the responsibility of Liechtensteinische Post AG, regarding:
- the universal service access points (Art. 15 para. 1 lit. a-d PPV)
- the universal service minimum offering (Art. 10 para. 2 lit. a-e PPG)
The Office for Communications is publishing its first annual data set. The information provided by postal service providers has been checked for plausibility and accuracy. Nevertheless, it cannot be ruled out that the market statistics data may still contain errors, which may be identified in further data collection rounds.
