The rise of the middle class in the country has also contributed to this trend, with consumers becoming more willing to pay for premium services.
Trends in the market: The online food delivery market in Albania has seen a proliferation of new players in recent years, which has intensified competition in the market. Many of these new players have been able to capitalize on the growing demand for food delivery services, leading to a highly fragmented market.
Local special circumstances: One of the unique characteristics of the Albanian food delivery market is the prevalence of traditional cuisine and local dishes. Many consumers prefer to order traditional Albanian dishes through online delivery platforms, which has led to the emergence of specialized food delivery services that focus on delivering traditional cuisine.
