Germany, known for its love of traditional markets and fresh produce, has seen a significant shift in consumer behavior in recent years with the rise of the Grocery Delivery market.
Customer preferences: The convenience of shopping for groceries online and having them delivered to their doorstep has become increasingly popular among German consumers. With busy work schedules and the desire to avoid crowded supermarkets, many Germans are opting for the ease and efficiency of online grocery shopping. Additionally, the COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated this trend as more people are staying at home and avoiding public places.
Trends in the market: One of the key trends in the German Grocery Delivery market is the increasing competition among retailers. Traditional supermarkets such as Edeka, Rewe, and Aldi have all launched their own delivery services, while online-only retailers such as Amazon Fresh and HelloFresh have also entered the market. This competition has led to a focus on improving delivery times and expanding product offerings to attract and retain customers.Another trend in the market is the growing demand for organic and locally sourced products. Many online grocery delivery services in Germany now offer a wide range of organic and regional products, catering to the preferences of environmentally conscious consumers.
Local special circumstances: Germany has a strong culture of fresh food and local markets, which has influenced the Grocery Delivery market. Many Germans prefer to buy their produce from local markets or specialty shops rather than supermarkets, which has led to the development of online marketplaces that connect consumers with local producers. This trend has also led to the rise of subscription-based delivery services that offer weekly deliveries of fresh, locally sourced produce.
Underlying macroeconomic factors: Germany has a strong economy and a high standard of living, which has contributed to the growth of the Grocery Delivery market. Additionally, the COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the shift towards online shopping and home delivery, as more people are working from home and avoiding public places. However, the high cost of delivery and concerns over food waste are potential challenges for the market in the future.
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.Mon - Fri, 9am - 6pm (EST)
