Zipline is to expand operations to Houston and Phoenix in the early part of this year, followed by more metropolitan areas later in 2026. The company says deliveries will arrive in as little as ten minutes.
Zipline’s US deliveries have grown by approximately 15 percent week over week for the last seven months, as the company says autonomous on-demand delivery is “quickly moving from early adoption to everyday infrastructure”.
The company recently raised more than USD 600 million in a funding round and is now valued at USD 7.6 billion. The funding includes participation from several existing and new investors, including Fidelity Management & Research Company, Baillie Gifford, Valor Equity Partners and Tiger Global. Zipline said it will use the funds to accelerate its expansion into at least four new states this year, with Houston and Phoenix being the first two markets.
