DHL Express Senior Vice President South Asia R. S. Subramanian said, “International trade is creating new opportunities for businesses, while supply chains are becoming increasingly interconnected and complex. We are committed to helping our customers thrive in a changing environment; to this end, we are investing in our global network, digital capabilities, security infrastructure and sustainable logistics measures. This annual change in prices helps us maintain excellent service-quality and reliability in line with our customers' expectations; at the same time, it enables our global operations and It also strengthens our ability to adapt to change.
DHL Express changes its rates every year taking into account inflationary pressures, currency fluctuations and industry-related cost changes. As a globally connected company operating in more than 220 countries and territories, DHL Express is affected not only by local economic conditions, but also by global market changes.
Apart from inflation, the company's cost structure is also affected by factors such as energy costs, compliance requirements and administrative costs related to changing customs, regulatory and security measures imposed by national and international authorities. Continued labor market pressures in many countries are also contributing to rising operational costs.
To support customer growth and maintain a world-class international network, DHL Express continues to invest heavily in its global infrastructure, fleet modernization programs, digital capabilities and operational resilience. Recent milestones include the completion of delivery of our fleet of 28 Boeing 777 freighters, the introduction of more fuel-efficient aircraft, and infrastructure expansion and upgrades across all regions.
DHL Express also continues to invest in industry-leading security capabilities. In 2026, the company crossed the milestone of more than 500 Tappa-certified facilities worldwide, strengthening its position as the world's most Tappa-certified logistics provider through continuous investment in advanced security technologies, infrastructure and operational processes.
In addition, DHL Express is strengthening its technology and IT infrastructure to enhance cyber security, system resilience, shipment visibility and operational efficiency. Investments in digital customer solutions, including AI-enabled capabilities and the continued rollout of the MyExpress platform, are helping customers simplify cross-border shipping and improve their shipping experience.
