Amazon is set to deliver its customer packages of up to 3.5 billion through its own in-house delivery network this year.
Amazon has long been regarded as a long-term threat to United Parcel Service Inc (UPS) and FedEx Corp due to its growing network of delivery trucks, vans, and planes.
FedEx has ended its relationship with the world s largest online retailer just this summer. Meanwhile, UPS continued delivering almost half of Amazon s packages all throughout the world.
According to analysis from Morgan Stanley, there is an estimated 20% of packages delivered through Amazon logistics last year. In the start of 2019 until August, 46% of packages were delivered through the said network.
Morgan Stanley estimated that Amazon s delivery network will attain up to 6.5 billion packages by the year 2022, which is more than the deliveries of UPS, at 5 billion, and FedEx, at 3.4 billion.
Currently, Amazon has over 150 delivery stations in the US, with over 90,000 employees.
