Amazon and Walmart Compete to Deliver Faster to Rural Areas
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
Walmart and Amazon are intensifying their competition to speed up online deliveries in rural areas of the United States, a market previously overlooked by major retailers. Walmart has an advantage, with about 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 enhance same-day and next-day delivery to smaller cities and rural communities. Both companies are also utilizing drones and advanced technology to improve delivery efficiency, while other retailers like Dollar General are expanding their services in these areas.
