Q-commerce represents a natural evolution of e-commerce. All over the world lifestyles have been changing, and so, too, have customer habits. Speed and convenience are becoming more important than ever.
Moreover, increased urbanisation and the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a sudden blossoming of this kind of commerce, particularly in the restaurant and food industries.
Revenues generated by q-commerce could reach 448 billion euros by 2030.
Collaborative delivery is a service that aims to give more flexibility to consumers and retailers, but it is also the promise of better social ties and proximity! The success of these new forms of collaboration is based on a strong and responsive community that enables retailers to deliver to their customers in less than two hours from their shops, particularly in rural areas.
Challenges of this new form of commerce
In Europe there are many q-commerce companies. Competition is fierce. Companies face a number of challenges to stay in the race: improving flexibility in the delivery system, increasing the speed of order fulfilment, optimising delivery costs, increasing the reliability of deliveries and being more environmentally responsible.
