Local Messengers and Local Delivery
How local messengers and local delivery are reshaped as AGI capability advances.
The bottom line
Only about 15% of Local Messengers and Local Delivery is information work today — the rest is physical, and moves slowly. The exposure is concentrated in the back office: the books, the paperwork, the scheduling, the marketing.
Why: The NAICS industry description explicitly defines the core value-producing work as point-to-point pick-up and delivery of physical items (letters, groceries, restaurant meals). Because the fundamental output is moving physical goods through local areas—a task AI can dispatch but cannot physically execute—the focus sits firmly in the physical band.
