From January 2024, the PostNord monopoly on mail delivery will end and private companies will be able to enter the market. The new mail delivery price will be determined by the market. Expectations are that the competition between the private companies will lower the mail delivery price, just as it happened with parcel delivery.
- While private companies will be responsible for the delivery, the state still needs to ensure that everyone in Denmark can send and receive letters. The Danish Transport Agency will have to monitor the market and if there are uncovered areas found, the Ministry of Transport will intervene and appoint a private company via a public tender.
- The state is still responsible in 3 postal areas: mail to islands, international mail and blind mail (blind people can send and receive mail free of charge).
