Meal delivery services have become increasingly popular in many countries, including Kyrgyzstan. This trend can be attributed to a number of factors including changes in consumer preferences and the impact of technology on the food industry.
Customer preferences: Kyrgyzstan has a young population that is increasingly tech-savvy and time-poor. These consumers are looking for easy and convenient ways to access food. Meal delivery services provide a solution to this problem by offering a wide range of food options that can be delivered directly to the customer's doorstep. Additionally, the COVID-19 pandemic has led to an increase in demand for meal delivery services as more people are staying at home and avoiding crowded public spaces.
Trends in the market: The meal delivery market in Kyrgyzstan is becoming increasingly competitive with the entry of new players into the market. These new players are offering a wider range of food options and using technology to improve the customer experience. Additionally, there is a growing trend towards healthy eating and sustainability, with many meal delivery services offering organic and locally sourced ingredients.
Local special circumstances: Kyrgyzstan has a rich culinary tradition with a diverse range of dishes that reflect the country's nomadic heritage. Many meal delivery services in Kyrgyzstan are capitalizing on this by offering traditional Kyrgyz dishes that are not readily available in restaurants. Additionally, the country's mountainous terrain and harsh winters make it difficult to grow certain types of food locally, which has led to an increase in imported ingredients.
Underlying macroeconomic factors: Kyrgyzstan is a developing country with a growing middle class and a relatively low cost of living. This has led to an increase in disposable income and a greater willingness to spend money on convenience services such as meal delivery. Additionally, the country's relatively small size and centralized population make it easier for meal delivery services to operate efficiently and cost-effectively. However, the country's economy is heavily reliant on agriculture and vulnerable to external shocks such as changes in commodity prices or natural disasters. This could potentially impact the availability and cost of ingredients for meal delivery services in the future.
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.
