Express Delivery Services
Industry Description
The US express delivery services industry includes about 7,500 companies with combined annual revenue of more than $70 billion. The industry is divided into large networked couriers capable of nationwide and international delivery, and smaller local services that transport packages within a metropolitan area. The courier segment of the industry is highly concentrated and accounts for most of the industry's revenue; United Parcel Service (UPS) and Federal Express (FedEx) alone generate more than 80 percent of the revenue. The local segment, which is much smaller, is highly fragmented.
