Big Brown - United Parcel Service, “UPS”
The industry
The Air Delivery & Freight Services industry can be broken up into three distinct delivery categories. These categories include the delivery of overnight letters, the shipment of small to medium sized packages by those who request shipment of time-critical parcels, and the movement of heavy freight between large corporations. Customers will spend well over $50 million in the domestic Air-to-Ground industry next year.() UPS has a large share of each segment and dominates the “parcel” size market segment.
Competitors in the industry include the postal services of the United States (USPS) and other nations, various motor carriers, express companies, freight forwarders, air couriers and others. UPS' major competitors include Federal Express, the United States Postal Service, and DHL Worldwide Express. Competitors continue to globalize and emphasize customer focused logistics solutions utilizing their technology and distribution networks.
Revenue Market Share - Parcels
DHL 6%
FedEx 20%
United Parcel Service 62%
USPS 9%
UPS earns nearly 64% of the revenue generated in the parcel delivery market. ()
