Amazon Expands Global Logistics Network to Compete Directly with Traditional Shipping Giants

Amazon is quietly transforming itself from an e-commerce giant into one of the most influential global logistics players. Under CEO Andy Jassy’s leadership, the company has expanded its freight, warehousing, and last-mile delivery network, challenging traditional shipping leaders like FedEx, UPS, and DHL.

Recent reports show Amazon is handling more than half of its U.S. deliveries independently, while also offering logistics services to external businesses. This diversification reduces dependency on third-party carriers and opens a new multi-billion-dollar revenue stream.

Jassy has emphasized that Amazon’s strength lies in its ability to integrate logistics with real-time customer data, creating an unmatched end-to-end supply chain. Analysts believe this could make Amazon not just a retail company but a major logistics competitor in global trade, reshaping how goods move worldwide.
