Amazon has announced the launch of a new service called Amazon Supply Chain Services, opening its vast global logistics network to businesses of all sizes—even those that do not sell on its marketplace.
With this move, companies across industries such as retail, healthcare, manufacturing, and automotive can now use Amazon’s infrastructure for freight, warehousing, distribution, fulfillment, and last-mile delivery. The service allows businesses to move everything from raw materials to finished products using the same system that powers Amazon’s own operations.
The offering builds on Amazon’s decades-long investment in logistics, which includes a global network of warehouses, sorting hubs, trucks, and cargo aircraft. By turning this internal capability into a third-party service, the company is creating a new growth avenue—similar to how it previously commercialized its infrastructure through AWS.
Early adopters of the service include major global brands such as Procter & Gamble, 3M, Lands’ End, and American Eagle Outfitters, indicating strong enterprise interest in outsourcing logistics to Amazon’s network.
This launch positions Amazon as a direct competitor to traditional logistics giants like UPS and FedEx, intensifying competition in the global supply chain and third-party logistics market.
Strategically, the move reflects a broader shift in Amazon’s business model—from an e-commerce platform to a full-scale infrastructure provider—leveraging its scale, speed, and data capabilities to capture a larger share of the global logistics ecosystem.
