"On the back of that we've had some moderate market share gains," DHL Express Europe CEO John Pearson said, without providing details. DHL Express competes with United Parcel Service and FedEx Corp.

Asked to comment on Deutsche Post's plans to use drones to deliver parcels in future, Pearson said the company had been looking into the idea.
