    Analyst Opinion

    Cyprus, a beautiful island in the Mediterranean, is known for its rich history and culture. However, the island is also experiencing a surge in the Online Food Delivery market, with many companies expanding their services to cater to the growing demand.

    Customer preferences:
    Cyprus has a diverse population, with locals and tourists alike enjoying a wide range of cuisines. As a result, the Online Food Delivery market in Cyprus has seen an increase in demand for international cuisine, including Asian and Middle Eastern dishes. Additionally, customers are increasingly looking for healthy and organic options, with many restaurants and delivery services offering such choices.

    Trends in the market:
    One of the major trends in the Online Food Delivery market in Cyprus is the rise of mobile applications. With the increasing use of smartphones, many delivery services have developed user-friendly apps that allow customers to order food with just a few clicks. Another trend is the use of social media platforms such as Instagram and Facebook to showcase food options and promotions, which has proven to be an effective marketing strategy.

    Local special circumstances:
    Cyprus is a popular tourist destination, with millions of visitors every year. This has led to an increase in demand for food delivery services, especially during peak tourist seasons. Additionally, the island's warm climate and outdoor lifestyle have contributed to the popularity of picnics and outdoor dining, leading to a rise in demand for delivery services that cater to these needs.

    Underlying macroeconomic factors:
    The Online Food Delivery market in Cyprus is also influenced by macroeconomic factors such as the country's GDP growth and unemployment rate. As the economy continues to recover from the financial crisis, more people are able to afford delivery services, leading to an increase in demand. Additionally, the rise in unemployment has led to an increase in the number of people working from home, creating a larger customer base for delivery services.

    Methodology

    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.
