Belize, a small country located in Central America, is witnessing a gradual but steady growth in the online food delivery market.
Customer preferences: Customers in Belize are increasingly looking for convenience and speed when it comes to ordering food. With the rise of technology and the internet, customers are now able to order food online with just a few clicks. In addition, customers are looking for a wider variety of options when it comes to food choices, with many preferring to order from restaurants that offer a range of cuisines.
Trends in the market: The online food delivery market in Belize is still in its early stages, but there are clear signs of growth. One of the key trends in the market is the rise of mobile apps, with many customers now using their smartphones to order food. Another trend is the emergence of new players in the market, with several local and international companies launching their online food delivery services in Belize.
Local special circumstances: Belize is a small country with a population of just over 400,000 people. As a result, the online food delivery market is relatively small compared to other countries in the region. However, the market has significant potential for growth, particularly in urban areas where there is a high concentration of restaurants and customers.
Underlying macroeconomic factors: Belize has a relatively stable economy, with a GDP growth rate of around 2% in recent years. This has led to an increase in disposable income, which has in turn led to an increase in spending on food and dining. In addition, the country has a young and tech-savvy population, which is driving the adoption of online food delivery services. However, there are also challenges in the market, including a lack of infrastructure and logistical challenges in delivering food to customers in remote areas.
Data coverage:
The data encompasses B2C enterprises. Figures are based on Gross Merchandise Value (GMV) and represent what consumers pay for these products and services. The user metrics show the number of customers who have made at least one online purchase within the past 12 months.Modeling approach / Market size:
Market sizes are determined through a bottom-up approach, building on predefined factors for each market. As a basis for evaluating markets, we use annual financial reports of the market-leading companies, third-party studies and reports, as well as survey results from our primary research (e.g., the Statista Global Consumer Survey). In addition, we use relevant key market indicators and data from country-specific associations, such as GDP, GDP per capita, and internet connection speed. This data helps us estimate the market size for each country individually.Forecasts:
In our forecasts, we apply diverse forecasting techniques. The selection of forecasting techniques is based on the behavior of the relevant market. For example, the S-curve function and exponential trend smoothing. The main drivers are internet users, urban population, usage of key players, and attitudes toward online services.Additional notes:
The market is updated twice a year in case market dynamics change. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war are considered at a country-specific level. GCS data is reweighted for representativeness.
