Customer preferences: Cameroonian consumers are increasingly looking for convenience and speed in their shopping experiences. As a result, there has been a surge in demand for home delivery services, especially for groceries and household items. Consumers are also looking for more options when it comes to payment methods and delivery timeframes.

Trends in the market: The Retail Delivery market in Cameroon has seen a significant increase in the number of players, both local and international. This has led to increased competition and innovation in the market. Delivery services are becoming more specialized, with some companies focusing on same-day delivery and others on more affordable options. There has also been a rise in the use of technology, with many companies offering online ordering and tracking systems.

Local special circumstances: Cameroon's geography and infrastructure present unique challenges for the Retail Delivery market. The country's poor road network and lack of proper addressing systems make it difficult for delivery companies to navigate and deliver packages efficiently. Additionally, many consumers do not have access to the internet or smartphones, making it difficult for them to use online ordering and payment methods.

Underlying macroeconomic factors: Cameroon's economy has been growing steadily in recent years, with a focus on diversifying and modernizing the economy. This has led to increased investment in the retail sector and a rise in consumer spending. Additionally, the government has been working to improve the country's infrastructure, including its road network, which will help to facilitate the growth of the Retail Delivery 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.
