Same-Day Delivery Services in the US Industry Data and Analysis
Downstream demand for same-day delivery services comes from manufacturers and retailers nationwide, while demand for local delivery services is derived from households and other regional markets. Although the markets for each segment differ, demand for each segment tends to fluctuate in line with consumer spending, the number of businesses and e-commerce sales, all of which have grown in recent years. The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated the already strong trend away from bricks-and-mortar stores and toward e-commerce platforms, increasing demand for delivery services.
