Analyst Opinion

The Netherlands, a country known for its vibrant tulip fields, windmills, and cheese markets, has a thriving retail delivery market.

Customer preferences:
In the Netherlands, customers have a strong preference for convenience and efficiency when it comes to retail delivery. With a well-developed transportation infrastructure, customers expect fast and reliable delivery options. Additionally, the Dutch are environmentally conscious and prefer sustainable delivery options.

Trends in the market:
One trend in the Dutch retail delivery market is the rise of same-day and next-day delivery options. As customers become more accustomed to convenience, retailers are offering faster delivery options to remain competitive. Another trend is the growth of online grocery shopping, which has seen a significant increase due to the COVID-19 pandemic. With more people staying at home, online grocery shopping has become a necessity for many Dutch households.

Local special circumstances:
The Netherlands has a unique geography with a high population density and many urban areas. This presents challenges for retailers who need to navigate narrow streets and crowded cities to make deliveries. To address this, many retailers have implemented innovative solutions such as electric delivery vehicles and bicycle couriers.

Underlying macroeconomic factors:
The Dutch economy has remained stable over the past few years with a low unemployment rate and strong consumer spending. This has contributed to the growth of the retail delivery market as more consumers have disposable income to spend on online shopping. Additionally, the Netherlands is home to many international companies, making it a hub for cross-border e-commerce. This has increased demand for international shipping and delivery options.

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.
