The Retail Delivery market in Southern Europe has been experiencing significant growth in recent years, driven by changing consumer preferences and the increasing availability of technology.
Customer preferences: Consumers in Southern Europe are increasingly turning to online shopping due to the convenience and accessibility it offers. This has led to a rise in demand for home delivery services, as customers seek to receive their purchases directly to their doorstep. Additionally, there is a growing preference for faster delivery times, with same-day and next-day delivery becoming increasingly popular.
Trends in the market: One of the key trends in the Retail Delivery market in Southern Europe is the rise of e-commerce platforms. These platforms offer a wide range of products and services, and have become increasingly popular with consumers due to their convenience and ease of use. As a result, many traditional brick-and-mortar retailers are now investing in their own e-commerce platforms in order to remain competitive.Another trend in the market is the increasing use of technology to improve the delivery process. This includes the use of drones and autonomous vehicles to deliver packages, as well as the development of delivery robots that can navigate city streets and deliver packages directly to customers.
Local special circumstances: Southern Europe is a diverse region with a variety of different countries and cultures, each with their own unique set of circumstances. For example, in Spain, there is a strong tradition of small, family-owned businesses, which has led to a fragmented retail market. In Italy, there is a strong preference for high-quality, artisanal products, which has led to a focus on local production and distribution.
Underlying macroeconomic factors: The growth of the Retail Delivery market in Southern Europe is also being driven by underlying macroeconomic factors. For example, the region has experienced a period of economic growth in recent years, which has led to an increase in disposable income and consumer spending. Additionally, the region has a large population of tech-savvy millennials, who are driving the adoption of new technologies and changing the way that goods and services are consumed and delivered.
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.
