    Analyst Opinion

    The Platform Delivery market in Nigeria has experienced significant growth in recent years, driven by several factors.

    Customer preferences:
    One of the primary drivers of growth in the Platform Delivery market in Nigeria is changing customer preferences. As consumers increasingly turn to online shopping and mobile commerce, there is a growing demand for fast, reliable, and convenient delivery services. This has led to the emergence of a number of new players in the market, as well as increased competition among existing providers.

    Trends in the market:
    One trend that has emerged in the Platform Delivery market in Nigeria is the increasing use of technology to streamline the delivery process. Many providers are investing in new technologies such as GPS tracking, real-time updates, and automated dispatch systems to improve efficiency and reduce delivery times. Another trend is the growing popularity of same-day and on-demand delivery services, which allow customers to receive their orders within hours or even minutes of placing them.

    Local special circumstances:
    The Platform Delivery market in Nigeria has some unique challenges that providers must navigate. One of the biggest challenges is the country's poor infrastructure, which can make it difficult to deliver goods quickly and efficiently. Additionally, Nigeria has a large and diverse population with varying levels of access to technology and online services, which can make it challenging for providers to reach all potential customers.

    Underlying macroeconomic factors:
    The growth of the Platform Delivery market in Nigeria is also being driven by broader macroeconomic factors. Nigeria has a large and rapidly growing population, with a significant portion of the population under the age of 30. This demographic shift is driving increased demand for online services, including e-commerce and delivery. Additionally, Nigeria has a rapidly growing middle class with increasing purchasing power, which is fueling demand for a wide range of goods and services. Finally, Nigeria has a large and growing economy, which is attracting investment and driving innovation in a wide range of industries, including logistics and delivery.

    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.
