Australia Last Mile Delivery Market Introduction and Overview
According to SPER Market Research, the Australia Last Mile Delivery Market is estimated to reach USD XX million by 2033 with a CAGR of 14.25%.
The last mile delivery method comprises transporting goods from local distribution centres to the final delivery location. It seeks to deliver shipments as quickly as possible via various modes of transportation such as roads and airways. This can be due to increased demand for speedier delivery choices, which is being driven by expanding e-commerce sales. Furthermore, advances in route optimisation and the deployment of new technology such as drones, self-driving vehicles, and IoT are making last mile logistics more efficient and cost effective. Key players are focussing on providing consumers with value-added services and novel delivery solutions.
- July 2022: Woolworths opens a multi-million-dollar Customer Fulfilment Centre (CFC) in Brisbane, Queensland. The 10,000-square-meter purpose-built warehouse facility is located 18 kilometres from the CBD at Goodman's Rochedale Motorway Estate and can accommodate 25,000 items.
- Arcimoto and Directed Technologies will launch a pilot program in March 2022 to provide ultra-efficient electric delivery vehicles to Australia. This opportunity will lead on two levels: Directed's class-leading digital fleet management tools and Arcimoto's rightsized electric vehicle, which when combined can optimise last-mile delivery alternatives for clients while effortlessly fitting into their sustainability and technology vision.
Market Opportunities and Challenges
Opportunities: Advances in Logistics Technology - Logistics innovations such as real-time tracking, route optimisation, and the use of drones and autonomous vehicles improve delivery efficiency and service quality, moving the sector forward. For example, in June 2024, Hort Innovation formed a three-year strategic relationship with multi-award-winning agency Thinkerbell to promote growth in consumption behaviours for the A$16.3 billion horticulture sector. The Australian advertising and creative firm secured the contract after a tough pitching procedure. The agency will launch unique multi-platform grower-funded marketing campaigns for 24 distinct fruit categories, including Australian bananas, apples, and avocados. Hort Innovation CEO Brett Fifield stated that the arrangement, reached in conjunction with industry, will provide optimum value to Australian growers while also ensuring that local produce receives unprecedented exposure.
Challenges- The significant operational costs involved with last mile delivery are one of the main obstacles facing the industry. Last-mile delivery is transporting a shipment from warehouses or distribution centres to the final consumer, which comes with high manpower and transportation expenses for logistics firms. Urban traffic congestion, the need for specialised delivery vans and vehicles that require maintenance, and the hiring of delivery staff—who represent some of the biggest expense components—all contribute to the high expenses. Higher expenses per delivery are also a result of problems like single delivery sites, low shipment density, and return shipments.
Market Competitive Landscape
The Australian last mile delivery business is very competitive, with several significant multinational players present. The Australian last mile delivery business is showing signs of consolidation, with a few players controlling a sizable portion. The market is dominated by major carriers, including Australia Post, DHL Express, FedEx Express Australia, Aramex Australia, and Startrack.
