North America Postal Services Industry Overview
The industry is currently fragmented. Large companies have advantages in widespread infrastructure and diversity of services. Small companies compete by specializing. Government-owned postal agencies typically have a monopoly on mail delivery but face heavy competition from private package delivery companies. The competing entities form partnerships to capitalize on each other's strengths. For instance, major express delivery companies Federal Express (FedEx) and United Parcel Service (UPS) contract certain residential deliveries to the US Postal Service (USPS), while the USPS contracts air transportation out to FedEx and UPS.
