Weak housing market halves growth in big and bulky last-mile delivery sector
Growth in last-mile delivery for big and bulky items has slowed to 5.1% CAGR from 10.6% due to a stagnant housing market, according to Armstrong & Associates and the National Home Delivery Association. Housing turnover hit a 30-year low last year, dampening demand for furniture and appliances. Carriers face profit compression with revenue per shipment often below $90, while high-touch services command up to $250.
