The Amazon Effect on the Retail and Shipping Industries #infographic

Published by Web Desk Wednesday, June 10, 2015

Amazon and other large ecommerce companies have had a giant effect on the retail and shipping industries over the last decade. Shorr Packaging has put together this really cool guide and series of graphics that covers the effect of Amazon on the retail and shipping industries. The impact of Amazon is especially felt within the shipping industry.

Amazon users have a tendency to purchase a large variety of items and other random items that are often an incentive to receive free shipping from Amazon. This forces shipping companies to adapt to Amazon’s practices because of the volume of shipping they do. Trucking is the primary mode of most freight travel so they have also seen huge growth since the launch of Amazon. This also has created a large number of new jobs within both the shipping and the trucking industry. You can see more data on the impact of Amazon in the guide and graphics from Shorr.
