Starting this week, Prime subscribers in select cities will be able to receive items such as strawberries, milk, meats, and frozen dinners within hours of placing an order. This will intensify competition for same-day deliveries for perishable items, with other retail giants like Walmart. What is likely to work in the e-commerce giant’s favor is its improving logistics and Whole Foods’ infrastructure.  Same-day grocery delivery is a massive battleground in e-commerce, with customers spoiled for choice and expecting faster delivery.

The tech behemoth has already been offering grocery delivery through its Amazon Fresh and Whole Foods platforms. However, the latest move indicates a deeper commitment by the company to improve its share in the perishable item segment. If the company can capture a share of the same-day delivery for perishable items and scale up, its impact in the grocery sector is likely to grow; it is likely to put pressure on the traditional grocers and delivery rivals, given Amazon’s scale and delivery moat.
