There has never been a better time for #OOH delivery. Supported by current #markettrends, companies focused on OOH/APM delivery are growing at above average rates.

However, installing large numbers of #APMmachines in Europe is not in itself a guarantee of #success; there needs to be a willingness to respond to and capitalize on future market demands at an early stage.

There is already #competition between open, multi-carrier #networks and the closed #networks run by individual #operators. Unsurprisingly, many large carriers make “their” APM networks accessible only to their own #customers. This follows a natural but perhaps shortsighted urge to exploit their current market position.

#Developments in the #EU indicate that current legislation and related regulation is already beginning to impact these networks, and this will only increase in the future: 

-Like mailboxes, APM are systemic delivery points. 
-Mailboxes have been treated as essential infrastructure and opened up through legislation and regulation; it seems likely that APM and other unattended delivery infrastructure will be treated similarly, particularly in light of the increased significance of parcel delivery.
-Open models usually lead to more efficient network utilization and “greater” carbon neutrality.

Electronic advance data (#EAD) is now mandatory, whether #shipments are sent intra-EU or cross border. In some EU member states, it is even required for domestic shipments. The #transmission and #dataavailability of the #shipment content are standardized:

-An HS 6-digit code, as a generic description of the content, plus an individual description of the content (i.e., GS1’s GTIN), is likely to become mandatory when using APM. The authorities in some EU MS already demand such information. The data is already available at shipment level.
-Use of this data could also defuse operators’ current liability issues, i.e., when narcotics or illegal firearms are delivered via APM. Data in advance would stop the potentially illegal or criminal use of OOH or APM delivery.

Standardized electronic advance data makes closed APM networks a matter of choice, rather than a technological necessity. Open access to APM networks is likely to trigger new #businessmodels, including new players.
