The supply chain and logistics sector in North America has transformed significantly over the last few years, driven by structural changes in consumer behavior and retail systems. According to a comprehensive research study by The Insight Partners, the North America last mile delivery market accounted for US$ 39.73 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach US$ 75.13 billion by 2030; it is expected to register a CAGR of 8.3% during 2022 to 2030. This robust growth trajectory reflects the critical nature of the last leg of supply chain logistics, which directly impacts customer satisfaction and operational efficiency for businesses across the region.

Rising E-Commerce Penetration Driving Market Growth

One of the main factors driving the North America last mile delivery market is the higher penetration of e-commerce in the region. Online shopping in the US has grown rapidly in popularity, and this increment has directly affected the revenue generated within the delivery sector. As the marketplace evolves, the next day or same day last mile delivery business has shifted from a premium service into a standard industry requirement within the retail sector.

The continuously expanding e-commerce industry in the US remains a primary driver for regional growth. In 2022, e-commerce sales in the US surpassed US$ 1 trillion, highlighting a massive pool of packages requiring local transportation. Data shows that approximately 70% of the US population prefers shopping online, which translates to hundreds of billions of buying transactions that ultimately rely on a seamless final delivery network. This immense increase in online orders directly fuels the ongoing demand for efficient last mile operations.

Demographic Shifts and Geographic Dynamics

The market exhibits distinctive regional patterns across the United States, Canada, and Mexico. The North America market was among the first to adopt e-commerce early and widely. Currently, the US dominates the North America last mile delivery market with the majority of the total market share. To support this massive movement of goods, employment in the sector has expanded. According to data from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, 1.7 million delivery drivers were employed recently, and that figure is expected to rise to 1.9 million by 2031. Major retail and logistics enterprises like Amazon continue to invest significant capital to make the last mile delivery process more efficient.

Meanwhile, Canada is experiencing its own localized growth patterns. Toronto is emerging as a Canadian hub for last mile delivery services. The vast bulk of Canada's population is located around the Canada and US border, with Quebec and Ontario accounting for more than half of all Canadian consumers. Because Toronto functions as the financial capital of the country, most imports and deliveries to and from the city's numerous headquarters, enterprises, and retail consumers occur right within this bustling metropole.
