Amazon Surpasses UPS and FedEx to Become Largest Private Carrier in the US

Projected to Deliver 5.9 Billion Packages by End of 2023 Amid Regulatory Scrutiny

Amazon is now the largest private carrier in the United States, surpassing both UPS and FedEx in terms of packages delivered.
Amazon's delivery volume is projected to reach around 5.9 billion packages by the end of 2023, a 13% increase from the previous year.
Amazon's growth in delivery volume is attributed to its expansion of logistics operations, including the launch of a program for entrepreneurs to start their own delivery franchises.
Despite its growth, Amazon's delivery operations are still primarily domestic, lacking the global reach and comprehensive pick-up and delivery coverage of FedEx and UPS.
Amazon's rise in the delivery sector has led to increased scrutiny from federal regulators over its dominant role in the e-commerce market.
