Sierra Leone, a country in West Africa, has been experiencing a steady growth in the restaurant delivery market in recent years.

Customer preferences: The rise in the middle-class population and the increasing number of people with busy lifestyles has led to a growing demand for food delivery services. Customers in Sierra Leone prefer convenience, affordability, and a variety of food options when choosing a restaurant delivery service.

Trends in the market: The restaurant delivery market in Sierra Leone is dominated by local food delivery companies, with a few international players also entering the market. These companies offer a range of services, including online ordering, mobile apps, and cashless payments. The market has also seen an increase in the number of restaurants partnering with delivery companies to offer their customers a delivery option.

Local special circumstances: Sierra Leone has a unique food culture, with traditional dishes such as cassava leaves, okra soup, and jollof rice being popular among locals. The restaurant delivery market has adapted to this by offering a mix of traditional and international cuisine to cater to the diverse tastes of customers.

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.

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.
