DHL Group has announced its Q3 results, as all divisions together report a 12.6 percent growth in revenue. This comes in at €22.7 billion, up from €20.1 billion in 2025.

DHL Express has reported almost €7 billion in revenue (6.995 billion) up 19.2 percent year on year.

“We successfully continued our growth trajectory in the third quarter, delivering a significant increase in revenue and earnings. Our strong operational performance enabled us to raise our full-year earnings guidance for the second time this year,” Tobias Meyer, CEO of DHL Group said.

DHL Express (Express) has stated ‘its offering for time-critical heavy-weight shipments for industrial customers, the division increased the total weight of shipments transported, resulting in better utilization of its network,’ as a primary growth driver.

Temporary capacity constraints in the international airfreight market were also highlighted as an area that Express won business.

A volatile market environment also bolstered DHL Global Forwarding’s figures, with a 23.4 percent growth in revenue reported as airfreight volumes grew strongly on its lanes originating in Asia.

Falling numbers within DHL eCommerce of -6 percent revenue were explained through portfolio changes, in particular the deconsolidation in the United Kingdom and Portugal.

“We remain focused on providing our customers with high service quality and sufficient capacity. Even in challenging conditions, we help them access markets and unlock new growth opportunities. That is why we are stepping up investments in our network and in new logistics capabilities needed to tap into the markets of the future,” Meyer concluded.
