LAST MILE DELIVERY FOR E-COMMERCE MARKET: OVERVIEW

The Global Last Mile Delivery for E-Commerce Market Size was valued at USD 56.25 billion in 2021 and is expected to reach USD 136.12 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 8.13 % during 2021-2030. Last Mile Delivery for E-Commerce refers to the final delivery of items from the fulfilment center or warehouse to the final destination (the customer). According to the customer's point of view, last-mile delivery is the face of any organization. Over the last few decades, the e-commerce business has come a long way. Today, this sector contributes significantly to the country's economy in terms of output and employment. It is expected that the industry would expand dramatically in the future years.
 

However, in many different countries, last-mile delivery is a major challenge for firms such as e-commerce, which requires delivery from a warehouse to customers. Many innovations have become commonplace, such as cash on delivery, quick returns, and no-cost EMI, but other obstacles remain. When a buyer orders a product from a remote location, it becomes difficult for the company to maintain the same efficiency and timeliness of delivery as in urban areas. To address this issue, businesses have devised alternatives such as self-pick-up from delivery centers. This alternative, however, is not possible for expensive products or those that require assembly. Furthermore, there is a large risk of miscommunication in numerous areas, which might lead to more order cancellations. Due to the lack of proper communication, the product could not reach its destination at the promised time, and hence, the chances of return or cancelation of orders increases.
 

COVID-19 ANALYSIS

The COVID-19 crisis spurred the spread of e-commerce to new enterprises, customers, and product categories. It has given clients access to a wide range of items from the comfort and safety of their own homes, and it has allowed businesses to continue operating in the face of contact bans and other confinement measures. Despite persistent cross-country discrepancies, the COVID-19 issue has increased dynamism in the global e-commerce scene and broadened the reach of e-commerce, especially through new enterprises, customer segments (e.g., the elderly), and products (e.g., groceries). Meanwhile, in many nations, e-commerce transactions have changed from luxury items and services to everyday necessities that are meaningful to a significant number of people. Some of these changes in the e-commerce landscape will almost certainly be long-term, given the prospect of further waves of the epidemic, the convenience of new purchase habits, learning costs, and the desire for enterprises to profit on investments in new sales channels.
