The North America e-commerce fulfillment services market size is anticipated to reach USD 65.35 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 13.9% from 2023 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The rapid rise in smartphone ownership has made it possible for consumers to have access to the marketplace and shop remotely. This, in turn, has had a positive impact and has led to a significant rise in sales of several product categories including pharmaceuticals, clothing & footwear, and consumer electronics among others over e-commerce channels. E-commerce fulfillment services play an important role in ensuring hassle-free and timely delivery of products ordered online.
The rising need for shorter delivery periods has increased the demand for micro warehouses with a broad geographical presence. Picking and packaging are critical in meeting consumer expectations for quick delivery. Furthermore, automated packaging and labeling systems used in fulfillment centers allow personnel to sort, locate, seal, package, and label items in a fraction of the time, hence speeding up the delivery process. For instance, in April 2021, Amazon.com, Inc. announced that it is building a fulfillment center in Fort Wayne to expand its investment in Indiana, U.S. In addition, players are launching new shipping routes to improve efficiency and provide last-mile delivery.
E-commerce fulfillment service providers have grown in popularity over the years, owing to an increase in the number of e-commerce start-ups and rapidly growing small and medium-sized businesses globally. Since many start-ups lack an established distribution network and solid logistics or transportation infrastructure, they rely heavily on third-party fulfillment service providers. The service providers such as ShipBob, Inc.; ShipRocket; and Red Stag Fulfillment are now offering a full spectrum of e-commerce fulfillment services such as picking, packing, warehousing, shipping, and reverse logistics. As a result, the emergence of new enterprises in the e-commerce industry area is expected to promote market growth throughout the forecast period.
