The last-mile delivery industry has witnessed significant growth over the last couple of years, driven by factors such as the impact of the coronavirus pandemic, changing consumer preferences, and the expansion of the e-commerce sector.
A recent report documented that the UK’s last-mile delivery market has a projected valuation of US $25.3 billion by the end of 2029.
