MENA e-Tail Markets Report 2020: The Impact of COVID-19 - ResearchAndMarkets.com


The "How Will MENA Order Online Post COVID-19?" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

MENA E-tail is a $10 Bn sector led by UAE and KSA, and is expected to touch $35 Bn by 2023.

Online food delivery is also gaining popularity fast and this is being driven by changing customer behaviour and the rise of internet kitchens.

Covid-19 has had a profound impact on business in MENA. Retail is under a lot of stress as lockdowns imposed to combat Covid-19 prevents businesses from functioning normally.

However, while a lot of businesses are struggling due to the pandemic, there are quite a few of them that are actually thriving, too. For instance, e-Grocery has been the biggest beneficiary of the pandemic as people have flocked on online platforms to meet their demand for essential goods.

E-tailing, as a whole, has grown by 40% over the lockdown but not all product categories have fared well. eGrocery, Home and BPC have been the standout performers across all product categories whereas fashion and electronics have seen sales being hit the hardest.

Online food-delivery is also under a lot of pressure as the number of daily orders have taken a massive plunge during the lockdown. Daily orders in UAE and KSA have fallen by 20% and 40%, respectively over the lockdown.

While e-tailing has seen a spike during the lockdown period, there are a few key questions for the post-Covid world that are yet to be answered.
