DHL Express Philippines sees its business in the Philippines growing by 30% this year due to the expected increase in electronics export and the launch of more service points nationwide. Lawrence Llamzon, DHL country manager, said the expected growth is more than the 10-12% average growth of the industry annually. "The growth would be derived from higher shipments due to the expected increase in exports particularly of electronics which account for more than half of our outbound deliveries," Llamzon added. Llamzon also said the addition of 12 new directly-owned service points within the next 12 months would also step up revenues, especially outside Metro Manila where some of the service points will be set up. Next month, DHL will open its eighth directly-owned service point in Cebu, its first outside Metro Manila.
