Abstract

One of the most positively impacted industries by the Covid-19 pandemic has been the delivery service industry. At least when talking about the long-run effects. While people were stuck at their homes by their governments, delivery companies came through with their relentless deliveries. From large courier companies to the new boom of food delivery companies, they all played a big role during the hard pandemic times. There has been a huge fluctuation of capital in the industry, and the big companies have started acquiring smaller ones in order to gain the largest slice of the pie on the market. The question is how will the future unfold for this growing industry. The purpose of this paper is to bring you closer to this topic and analyze the delivery service industry with the help of a well-known Porter’s Five Forces analysis. This will hopefully help us understand the current situation in this industry as well as help us predict the future. Many people are betting big on the success of these companies and time will tell if those investments will generate profit or losses.
