The e-commerce giant has continued to grab market share as it relies less on UPS for shipping and expands its delivery reach, per ShipMatrix.
- Amazon posted a 9.7% increase in U.S. parcel deliveries in the first half of 2026 versus the same period in 2025 as the e-commerce giant relied less on UPS for shipping and ramped up its rural delivery coverage, according to an Oct. 27 news release from ShipMatrix, a shipping consultancy and analytics provider.
- UPS’ volume dropped 5.7% over the same stretch amid the carrier’s planned Amazon delivery decline, ShipMatrix said. In June, UPS wrapped up a plan first announced in 2025 to slash its Amazon volume in half as the company pursued more profitable packages in other categories.
- Amazon’s 2026 growth adds to the company’s market share gains in the parcel delivery space over the past several years. Last year, Amazon’s logistics arm surpassed the U.S. Postal Service as the top U.S. parcel carrier by volume, although it still lagged behind UPS and FedEx in terms of market share by revenue, according to ShipMatrix data released in March.
