Quick Commerce, also known as Q-Commerce, is a rapidly growing sector in Greece. The demand for fast delivery of goods and services has been on the rise in recent years, with the Q-Commerce market being one of the beneficiaries.
Customer preferences: Greek consumers have shown a growing preference for convenience and speed in their shopping experiences. This has been driven by the increasing use of technology and the internet, which has made it easier for consumers to access goods and services online. Additionally, the COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the shift towards online shopping, as consumers seek to avoid crowded public spaces. As a result, more consumers are turning to Q-Commerce services to meet their needs.
Trends in the market: The Q-Commerce market in Greece has experienced significant growth in recent years. This growth has been driven by the increasing number of players in the market, as well as the expansion of existing players. Many traditional retailers have also entered the market, seeking to capitalize on the growing demand for fast delivery. In addition, there has been an increase in the number of specialized Q-Commerce services, such as food delivery and prescription medication delivery.
Local special circumstances: Greece has a unique geography, with many small islands and remote areas that are difficult to access. This has created a significant demand for Q-Commerce services, as consumers in these areas seek to access goods and services that are not readily available locally. Additionally, Greece has a large tourism industry, which has also contributed to the growth of the Q-Commerce market. Tourists often require fast and convenient access to goods and services, and Q-Commerce services have been able to meet this need.
Underlying macroeconomic factors: The Greek economy has been recovering from a prolonged period of recession, with GDP growth returning in recent years. This has led to an increase in consumer spending, which has contributed to the growth of the Q-Commerce market. Additionally, the government has implemented policies aimed at promoting entrepreneurship and innovation, which has encouraged the development of new Q-Commerce services. However, the Greek economy still faces challenges, including high unemployment and a large public debt, which could impact the growth of the Q-Commerce market in the future.

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.
