Federal Express Corporation (FedEx) has introduced FedEx International Connect Plus (FICP) in the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia. This service is designed for e-commerce packages up to 20 kg, offering a combination of speed and competitive pricing with delivery times ranging from three to four business days.
The launch of FICP aims to strengthen FedEx's e-commerce capabilities, addressing the growing demand for diverse and cost-effective shipping solutions. The Middle East's e-commerce sector is experiencing rapid growth, driven by a tech-savvy youth population, supportive regulations, and significant investments in digital infrastructure. A Deloitte report forecasts the region's e-commerce market will expand from USD 39 billion in 2023 to USD 50 billion by 2025.
"FedEx International Connect Plus offers e-tailers a reliable solution that balances speed and cost, enabling them to scale up and seize new cross-border opportunities," stated Nitin Tatiwala, vice president of Marketing and Air Network for FedEx Middle East, Indian Subcontinent, and Africa. "At FedEx, our goal is to provide customers with a broad portfolio of tailored shipping solutions that meet their specific delivery needs. Combined with our digital tools, we empower e-commerce businesses to deliver an enhanced experience to their customers."
