Global scope

Initial Situation

  • A global automotive OEM planned for a specific vehicle category to pivot their existing business model to address the hyper-fast last mile logistics arena which includes same day and instant (<3 hour) delivery
  • The client was formulating its go to market strategy, complementary to product development phase
  • To gauge the market attractiveness, the client needed to have complete insights with regards to current market size, along with future estimates

Project Objectives

  • Market sizing of current parcel volumes commanded by the same day and instant delivery markets as well as a future (5 year) projection across three geographies: Asia, N. America, W. Europe
  • Compilation of important market volume-affecting factors, and estimation of their degree of effect
  • Identification and comparative relevance of key product categories (e.g. groceries, electronics, etc) for same day and instant delivery

challenges we faced

  • Limited availability of reliable secondary research data for parcel volumes and growth rate for delivery models, across geographies, and product categories
  • Secondary research data was heterogeneous in nature because of different definitions of key base factors such as parcel size and instant delivery time
