2013 Parcel Express Roundtabte: FedEx/UPS duopoly reigns

摘要

It's not hard to see why even during one the slowest economic recoveries on record that parcel express and ground activity remains ahead of the curve. This is not represented so much in annual volume gains as it is with service quality and the continued reliability that shippers continue to receive through key parcel carriers.And while this field of carriers remains limited, with the duopoly of FedEx and UPS continuing its reign, it doesn't mean that there are limited opportunities for shippers to expand and leverage how they approach parcel. On the flip side, however, with such an established duopoly serving the majority of the market, pricing gains for shippers looking for alternatives can be a bit challenging.
