DHL's expansion is accelerating across divisions beyond its traditional Express business, which still generates roughly 60% of group profit. The forwarding unit is capturing air freight market share faster than competitors in a tight market. Supply Chain Solutions is emerging as a significant growth engine, with new contract wins climbing 42% through 2026, with data centres among key growth sectors. Analysts are closely monitoring whether this momentum persists as air capacity constraints ease in coming quarters. Full third-quarter results reveal the depth of growth across the logistics conglomerate's portfolio.
