Amazon and Walmart Compete to Deliver Faster to Rural Areas
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
Walmart and Amazon are competing to enhance online delivery services in rural areas of the U.S., a market previously overlooked by major retailers. Walmart has an advantage, with 90% of Americans living within 10 miles of a store. Analysts estimate this untapped market could be worth up to $1 trillion annually. Amazon invested $4 billion last year to improve same-day and next-day deliveries in smaller towns, utilizing AI for demand forecasting and establishing micro-fulfillment centers. Both companies are also expanding drone delivery services. As FedEx and UPS slow down rural deliveries, Walmart and Amazon are adapting to meet the growing demand from remote workers.
