Nearly every major retailer has embraced consumer demands for quick and easy delivery. In fact, experts predict that online food delivery alone will become a $32 billion industry by 2024. The rise of delivery services has made it easier for consumers to get purchases more quickly and for retailers to offer these services more widely.
From the convenience of same- or one-day shipping provided by large online marketplaces to the luxury of having groceries or dinner delivered to your front door, the breadth and depth of delivery has created new revenue channels for businesses. However, at the same time many governments have watched the meteoric rise of these delivery services closely and taken steps to impose additional fees and capture funds from new revenue channels.
