Arcep has issued its opinion on price changes in 2024 for mail and parcel delivery products that are part of the universal postal service.
First year of application for the Arcep price caps for 2024-2025
These changes correspond to the first year of application for the multiannual price caps that Arcep set for 2024-2025 in its Decision of 15 June 2023[1]. This Decision sets the nominal average annual increase for universal postal services at 17% for the period running from 2024 to 2025, and sets the nominal annual price increase for this period at 10%. It is up to La Poste to decide on how its prices will change, within the parameters of this price cap.
La Poste planned price changes are within the caps set by Arcep
The average 8.3% price increase that La Poste has planned for 2024 falls within this price cap. The increase also differs depending on the product (personal and small business mail, business mail, relational mail, direct marketing, registered mail, universal service parcels, universal service press items and international mail).
