Atlanta’s E-Commerce Growth, and Top 10 Warehouses for Georgia Companies

As America looks toward a post-COVID-19 boom, the conversation among economic experts has inevitable led toward “Where is the money going to go?” While the government tracks overall economic trends, there’s an easier way to look at the future. E-commerce is now the new normal post-pandemic, with e-commerce growing 39% year over year compared to only 13.1% for total retail sales.

Atlanta RoadwayVery few cities in the U.S. are better poised to benefit from the boom in e-commerce, like Atlanta.

This city is well poised for an e-commerce revolution, given its strategic location and available warehousing space.  Amazon is rapidly expanding its warehouse operations across the Atlanta area, and this will create new jobs for the people of Atlanta and allow online e-commerce businesses to grow. Four stations have already opened and started flourishing, including the new Doraville delivery station which opened in 2021. Amazon now has eight stations across the state of Georgia, including Atlanta, Buford, and Fairburn. This has also ramped up hiring and allows many full-time and part-time job seekers to earn a minimum of $15 per hour. 

The city of Atlanta ranks as one of the top 10 most popular cities for fulfillment centers in the United States. These city centers tend to be located near centralized population hubs or large airports. Over the course of the pandemic, businesses & consumers gradually “went digital,” providing the opportunity to purchase more goods and services online; the e-commerce share of global retail trade increased from 14% in 2019 to about 17% in 2020, according to UNCTAD.
