The Market (IBISWorld Industry Report) The industry comprises two segments: larger couriers and smaller local delivery companies. Together, these segments cater to various consumers, with demand for each segment differing based on the services offered. Specifically, downstream demand for courier services comes from manufacturers and retailers across the country, while demand for local delivery services is derived from households and other local 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 brick and-mortar stores and toward e-commerce platforms, increasing demand for delivery services. As a result, industry revenue is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.9% to $165.1 billion over the past five years, including an increase of 4.1% in 2023 alone. In recent years, developments in the e-commerce and online retailing space have driven industry growth. Developments made by large online retailers, including same-day delivery, have increased demand for local couriers and messengers. Per capita disposable income, consumer spending and e-commerce sales are set to increased in 2023, further increasing demand. But unstable input costs, notably fuel, have narrowed profit growth, and squeezed operations. The industry is expected to continue to expand in the coming years as consumer spending, corporate profit and e-commerce sales all continue to rise. Shipping volumes will also increase as consumer preferences continue to shift toward the convenience of using a delivery service to receive purchases. As a result, industry revenue is expected to rise at a CAGR of 2.7% to $188.9 billion through 2028.
