The retail delivery market in Uzbekistan is a growing industry that has seen significant changes in recent years. With a population of over 34 million people, Uzbekistan is the most populous country in Central Asia, making it an attractive market for retailers and delivery companies.
Customer preferences: In Uzbekistan, customers are increasingly turning to online shopping and home delivery services. This trend can be attributed to the growing middle class and increased access to internet and mobile devices. Customers are looking for convenience and efficiency, and are willing to pay for faster delivery times and better service. Additionally, there is a strong preference for cash payments over electronic payments in Uzbekistan, which has led to the development of cash-on-delivery services.
Trends in the market: One of the biggest trends in the retail delivery market in Uzbekistan is the growth of e-commerce. Online shopping platforms, such as Alibaba's AliExpress and Russian e-commerce giant Wildberries, have entered the Uzbek market in recent years, driving competition and innovation in the industry. Delivery companies are also expanding their services to include same-day and next-day delivery, as well as specialized services for perishable goods and large items.
Local special circumstances: Uzbekistan's geography and infrastructure present unique challenges for the retail delivery market. The country is landlocked and has limited transportation infrastructure, which can make it difficult and costly to transport goods across the country. Additionally, the country's customs regulations and bureaucratic processes can be time-consuming and complex, which can slow down the delivery process.
Underlying macroeconomic factors: Uzbekistan's economy has been growing steadily in recent years, driven by reforms aimed at liberalizing the economy and attracting foreign investment. This growth has led to an increase in consumer spending and a growing middle class, which has created opportunities for retailers and delivery companies. Additionally, the government has implemented policies aimed at promoting e-commerce and digitalization, which has further fueled the growth of the retail delivery market.
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.
