Operations
PostNord implemented a new organization in 2014 with three focus areas: mail & communication, logistics, and e-commerce.[citation needed]
Market
The logistics market in the Nordic region has had a relatively stable development. The Nordic logistics market that is relevant to PostNord equates to about SEK 150–190 billion. Demand for parcel services, the shipping of part and full loads and third-party logistics (TPL) has grown, while the trend for demand in Air & Ocean has been weaker.[citation needed]
The market for mail has declined fairly much in both countries, in part due to electronic invoicing and electronic mailboxes. This has caused losses for the company.
PostNord operates in all the Nordic countries and Germany, and via its subsidiary Direct Link it also runs international operations in the form of distribution solutions[buzzword] for lightweight goods and it is part of the DPD network for global logistics solutions.[buzzword][citation needed]
Sponsoring
PostNord has been the sponsor of the Finland national basketball team.
