    Analyst Opinion

    The Platform Delivery market in Hong Kong has been experiencing significant growth in recent years.

    Customer preferences:
    The rise of e-commerce and the increasing demand for online shopping has led to a surge in demand for platform delivery services in Hong Kong. Consumers are looking for fast and reliable delivery options that can provide them with the convenience of shopping online without having to leave their homes. This has led to a shift towards on-demand delivery services and the use of mobile apps to track deliveries in real-time.

    Trends in the market:
    One of the major trends in the Platform Delivery market in Hong Kong is the increasing popularity of same-day and express delivery services. This is driven by the need for fast and efficient delivery options to meet the demands of time-sensitive customers. Another trend is the use of technology to improve delivery efficiency, such as the use of drones and autonomous vehicles to deliver packages.

    Local special circumstances:
    Hong Kong is a densely populated city with a high concentration of businesses and residential areas. This presents unique challenges for delivery companies, such as navigating narrow streets and dealing with traffic congestion. In addition, Hong Kong's status as a major international financial center has led to a high demand for cross-border delivery services, which require specialized logistics and customs clearance procedures.

    Underlying macroeconomic factors:
    Hong Kong's strong economy and high levels of disposable income have contributed to the growth of the Platform Delivery market. The city's strategic location as a gateway to China and other Asian markets has also made it an attractive location for logistics companies looking to expand their operations in the region. Additionally, the government's support for the development of the technology sector has led to the emergence of innovative startups in the delivery space.

    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.
