United Parcel Service (UPS) made headlines after it announced plans to cut 20,000 jobs, which is about 4% of its workforce, and close more than 70 facilities. The company is doing this to cut costs as it deals with fewer shipments from Amazon (AMZN) and new tariffs. Investors are hopeful the company will become more efficient and profitable as a result of these changes.
This shake-up comes at a time when the logistics industry is changing fast. Experts expect global parcel shipping to grow at an annual rate of 59%, reaching 256 billion parcels by 2027, and the whole logistics sector could hit $14.08 trillion by 2028.
