    Analyst Opinion

    Quick Commerce, also known as Q-Commerce, is a rapidly growing market in Pakistan. With the rise of e-commerce and the increasing demand for convenience, Q-Commerce has become a popular option for consumers looking for fast and efficient delivery of goods.

    Customer preferences:
    In Pakistan, customers have shown a strong preference for Q-Commerce due to its ability to provide quick and reliable delivery of goods. With busy lifestyles and limited time, consumers are increasingly turning to Q-Commerce for their daily needs. Additionally, the COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the shift towards e-commerce and Q-Commerce, as consumers seek contactless delivery options.

    Trends in the market:
    One of the key trends in the Q-Commerce market in Pakistan is the emergence of new players in the market. Local startups are entering the market, offering unique services and products to differentiate themselves from established players. Additionally, there has been a rise in partnerships between Q-Commerce companies and traditional brick-and-mortar retailers, as they seek to expand their reach and offer customers a wider range of products.Another trend in the market is the increasing use of technology to improve the delivery process. Q-Commerce companies are investing in new technologies such as drones and autonomous vehicles to improve delivery times and reduce costs. Additionally, there has been a rise in the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning to optimize delivery routes and improve the overall customer experience.

    Local special circumstances:
    Pakistan's Q-Commerce market is unique due to the country's large population and diverse geography. With a population of over 200 million people, there is a significant demand for Q-Commerce services. However, the country's geography presents challenges for delivery, particularly in rural areas where infrastructure is often lacking. Q-Commerce companies must navigate these challenges to provide reliable and efficient delivery services.

    Underlying macroeconomic factors:
    Pakistan's growing middle class and increasing smartphone penetration have contributed to the growth of the Q-Commerce market. As more consumers gain access to smartphones and the internet, they are becoming more comfortable with online shopping and delivery services. Additionally, the country's improving economic conditions and rising disposable incomes are driving demand for convenience and luxury goods, further fueling the growth of the Q-Commerce market.

    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.

    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.
