FedEx contributed $126 billion in direct and indirect impact to the global economy in 2025, according to its annual Global Economic Impact Report. Produced in consultation with data and analytics company Dun & Bradstreet, the study demonstrates the impact FedEx has on businesses and communities around the world.

In FY25, FedEx directly contributed 0.3% to net economic output in Europe’s transportation, storage, and communications sector and indirectly contributed $2.8 billion to the region’s overall economy — including $870 million to its transportation, storage, and communications sector and $259 million to manufacturing. Together, the combined direct and indirect contributions from FedEx to Europe’s economy totalled approximately $11.1 billion.

FedEx also spent $8.5 billion with suppliers in Europe during calendar year 2024, 71% of which went to small businesses. Across the region, 86% of FedEx suppliers are small enterprises, underscoring the company’s commitment to supporting local entrepreneurship and supply chain resilience.

Other investments included the completion of an automated secondary sort facility in Memphis, a new Life Science Center in the Netherlands, a freight and parcel facility with advanced automation in Thailand, and a new international service station in Brazil.

President and chief executive, Raj Subramaniam, said: “For more than 50 years, FedEx has shaped global commerce by offering innovative shipping services that bring communities closer together. Our culture of innovation, paired with our team’s steadfast commitment to outstanding service and bold ideas, enabled the FedEx network to continue fueling worldwide progress this year through a rapidly evolving trade landscape and shifts in supply chains.”
