Market definitionIn-Scope/Out-of-scopeMarket structureReportsMethodology

The popularity of Platform Delivery services in Mozambique has been on the rise in recent years.

Customer preferences: Mozambique's urban population has been growing, leading to an increase in demand for convenience and time-saving services such as Platform Delivery. Customers in Mozambique are increasingly turning to these services for the delivery of food, groceries, and other goods. There is also a growing preference for contactless delivery, which has become more important due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Trends in the market: The Platform Delivery market in Mozambique is still in its early stages, with a few major players dominating the market. However, there has been a recent increase in the number of new entrants, which is driving competition in the market. The market is also experiencing a shift towards the use of mobile applications for ordering and delivery, as more customers in Mozambique gain access to smartphones and the internet.

Local special circumstances: Mozambique is a country with a large rural population, which presents a challenge for Platform Delivery services. However, the urban population is growing rapidly, which is driving the growth of the market. Additionally, the country has a high level of poverty, which means that affordability is an important factor for customers when choosing a Platform Delivery service.

Underlying macroeconomic factors: Mozambique has been experiencing economic growth in recent years, which has led to an increase in disposable income for many consumers. This has contributed to the growth of the Platform Delivery market. However, the country's economy is heavily dependent on natural resources, which makes it vulnerable to fluctuations in commodity prices. Additionally, the country has been affected by political instability and natural disasters, which can impact the growth of the market.
