The company estimates it will deliver over 86% of its own packages next year, per Business Insider, but Amazon cautioned that internal forecasts are preliminary.
Dive Brief:
- Amazon projects the percentage of its U.S. packages delivered via the company’s own logistics network will reach over 86% next year as it reduces reliance on other parcel carriers, according to a Sept. 3 report from Business Insider citing an internal Amazon planning document. In 2023, the company said over two-thirds of its packages were delivered this way.
- The percentage is projected to climb to nearly 89% in 2029, per the report. Amazon also estimates it will shrink its share of packages delivered by the U.S. Postal Service and UPS from 10% and 1.8%, respectively, in 2027 to 8% and 1.4% in 2029, according to the report.
- In response to a request for comment about the report, Amazon spokesperson Steve Kelly said in a statement to Supply Chain Dive that the company is always planning and forecasting across its operations. “Any internal projections are preliminary, subject to significant revision, and should not be treated as definitive or as representing finalized plans.”
