Eco Delivery

Courier services are on the incline as consumers demand eco-friendly business

Implications - Many urban businesses are turning to environmentally friendly delivery services not only because of congested city streets, but also because of the desire to be seen as social and eco establishments. Environmentally conscious consumers want to ensure that those corporations they're purchasing goods from are actively seeking to cut back on emissions.
Trend Themes
1. Sustainable Delivery Services - The trend towards eco-friendly delivery options is driven by both environmental concerns and consumer demand for social and eco-conscious establishments.
2. Delivery Optimization Apps - Delivery apps, such as Postmates, that offer algorithmic optimization and real-time tracking have the ability to connect courier services with an immediate need for short-range shipping jobs, benefitting both businesses and couriers.
3. Cargo Bikes and Urban Delivery Collectives - Increasing adoption of cargo bikes and rider-owned and -operated collectives aimed at reducing the energy used in urban freight transport is driven by the negative environmental impact of motorized vehicles, as well as an increasing awareness of and social commitment to sustainable practices.
Industry Implications
1. Logistics and Delivery - Businesses in logistics and delivery industries can benefit by exploring innovative ways to optimize delivery services using apps, tools and advanced technologies that are both cost-effective and environmentally friendly.
2. Sustainable Transport - Transit companies that embrace sustainable transport options, such as cargo bikes, electric bikes, and electric vehicles, stand to gain from offering more eco-friendly services and products to a growing and socially aware consumer base.
3. Local and Organic Food Delivery - Companies that provide locally and organically grown produce will benefit from offering customers convenient and personalized food delivery options, as well as forging deeper relationships with farmers they work closely with.
