In Ethiopia, and Addis Ababa to be location precise, last-mile delivery landscape is growing – as most geographies globally – in last-mile delivery, bike taxis and commuting, driven by technological advancements, infrastructure improvements, and the induction of governmental initiatives (B2C being the largest sector growing 3:1 from B2B).

As the country’s economy continues to expand and urbanise, the delivery sector plays a pivotal role in facilitating trade, commerce, and access to essential goods and services. In this article, we delve into the burgeoning last-mile delivery sector in Ethiopia, exploring key statistics, leading companies, the emergence of electric vehicles, costs per delivery and forecasted growth.

Rapid Expansion of Last-Mile Delivery

With a population exceeding 115 million and a rapidly growing middle class, the demand for fast and reliable delivery services has surged, creating lucrative opportunities for logistics providers and the proliferation of e-commerce platforms. Yet addressing financial considerations involves evaluating currency and the affordability of introducing sustainable mobility.

On January 29, 2024, the Ethiopian government imposed an immediate ban on ICE vehicles entering the country, aiming to support forecasted growth in the logistics industry estimated at over USD 3.5 billion. The last-mile delivery segment, which is growing globally at 27.1%, forms a significant part of this market and is poised to benefit from the rising demand for efficient solutions due to increasing e-commerce adoption among Ethiopian consumers.

Leading Companies and Innovation

In response to the growing demand for last-mile delivery services, several companies have emerged as key players in Ethiopia’s logistics landscape. Traditional logistics firms, as well as tech-driven startups, are competing to capture market share and differentiate themselves through innovation and efficiency.

Companies like Deliver Addis, Zmall_delivery, KZ EXPRESS, and RIDE are among the leading players in Ethiopia’s last-mile delivery sector, offering a range of services including: food delivery, grocery delivery, e-commerce, q-commerce and courier services. These companies leverage technology, such as mobile apps and telemetry, to optimise routes, minimise delivery times, and enhance the overall customer experience – something our predecessors couldn’t offer.

The Acceptance of Electric Vehicles

One of the most significant developments in Ethiopia’s #lastmiledelivery sector is the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) as a sustainable and cost-effective alternative to traditional petrol/diesel-powered vehicles. With the government’s commitment to reducing carbon emissions and promoting clean energy initiatives, EVs have gained traction among logistics providers seeking to lower operational costs and minimise environmental impact. “Yet the offering of vehicles from trusted suppliers wasn’t available until ONE MOTO entered the market”. We look to build and lead the market, setting the foundations and benchmarks of quality, standards for others to enter, similarly to what we’ve achieved in the UAE.

“We recognised the potential of electric vehicles in the African landscape and have tailored our offerings to meet the unique needs of the market with #electricmotorcycles and #lightcommercialvehicles. By building electric motorcycles specifically designed for the challenging terrain and infrastructure constraints in #Ethiopia and other African countries, #ONEMOTO will build the market and then build for the market with localised assembly penned to break ground in 2025”.

Costs per Delivery and Forecasted Growth

The costs per delivery in Ethiopia vary depending on factors such as distance, package size, and delivery speed. However, the adoption of #electricvehicles can significantly reduce operational costs, including fuel expenses and maintenance, making it a cost-effective solution for logistics providers.

Despite the challenges posed by infrastructure limitations (for cars and HGV) and regulatory hurdles, the forecasted growth of Ethiopia’s last-mile delivery sector remains robust. Industry analysts predict double-digit growth rates in the coming years, driven by continued #urbanisation, e-commerce expansion, and further #governmentincentives – once bundled with the knowledge transfer to consumers and the education journey – this will impact the adoption significantly.

ONE MOTO are delighted to be partnering with established, trusted dealerships which will install customers with the confidence they need to support the adoption.

In the United Kingdom, the last-mile delivery landscape has experienced seismic scale, changing consumer behaviours, and a heightened focus on sustainability. Let’s delve into the factual statistics, leading companies, electric vehicles, costs per delivery, and forecasted growth of this dynamic sector, alongside the commitment of ONE MOTO to support the transition to sustainable mobility.

Factual Statistics of the Delivery Landscape

The UK’s last-mile delivery sector has propelled exponentially with the rise of online shopping and the convenience economy. According to recent data, the UK’s #ecommerce market reached £141.33 billion in 2022, with last-mile delivery representing a critical component of this hyper-growth industry. The last mile is the most costly and polluting to the environment, an issue we take very seriously!

Leading Companies & Electric Vehicles

Several prominent companies dominate the UK’s last-mile delivery landscape, including; established giants like Royal Mail , Stuart , DPD UK , Evri , and Amazon , alongside innovative startups and tech-driven platforms. Moreover, there has been a notable shift towards sustainable transportation solutions, with an increasing number of companies adopting electric vehicles (EVs) to reduce emissions and environmental impact.

Costs Per Delivery & Forecast Growth

The costs per delivery in the UK vary depending on factors such as distance, speed of delivery, and the size of the parcel. However, industry estimates suggest that the average cost per delivery ranges from £2 to £5, with additional expenses incurred for urban deliveries and same-day services. Despite these costs, the last-mile delivery sector continues to experience robust growth, fuelled by rising consumer demand for fast, convenient, and environmentally friendly delivery options.

Yet, the complicated food delivery sector pays riders between £4.50 and £6.70 per delivery, how do these calculations work? Well, as I mentioned the gig-economy in complex with the companies fronting the delivery services (aggregators such as Uber Eats, Stuart, Deliveroo , Just Eat Takeaway and others) don’t employ their delivery workers, they are ‘contractors’, independent freelancers – which helps the operators avoid various costly incumbent responsibilities of UK employment and benefits – much to the opposition of those ‘working’ for them.

Yet, we need to support the industry, the ‘workers’

Forecasted Growth

Looking ahead, the forecasted growth of the last-mile delivery sector in the UK remains promising, driven by technological advancements, regulatory initiatives, and evolving consumer preferences. Industry analysts predict a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of over 10% for the UK’s last-mile delivery market in the coming years, with a particular emphasis on sustainability and innovation.

ONE MOTO’s Commitment to Sustainable Mobility

In line with the UK’s transition towards sustainable transportation, ONE MOTO, a pioneering electric vehicle company, has made a significant commitment to support the evolution of last-mile delivery. The company has secured £123 million in funding to develop and deploy electric motorcycles and vans tailored for the delivery industry, providing a cost-effective, eco-friendly alternative to traditional delivery vehicles.

With a focus on #decarbonising the last-mile delivery sector, ONE MOTO aims to evolve urban transportation, #reduceemissions, and enhance operational efficiency for delivery companies across the UK. By leveraging cutting-edge technology and strategic partnerships, ONE MOTO is poised to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of last-mile delivery, driving positive environmental impact and sustainable growth in the UK’s logistics industry.

As the Indian delivery landscape continues to evolve with leading players like Swiggy, Zomato and others delivering the country with their orders, the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) emerges as a pivotal solution, offering not only sustainability benefits but also cost efficiencies and operational advantages.

The Indian Delivery Landscape: A Growing Market

India’s e-commerce market has witnessed exponential growth in recent years, propelled by increasing internet penetration, smartphone usage, and digital literacy. With over 700 million internet users and a rapidly expanding middle class, the country presents immense opportunities for businesses operating in the delivery space.

According to industry reports, India’s #ecommerce and #qcommerce markets are projected to reach USD 200 billion by 2026, with last-mile delivery playing a critical role in fulfilling customer orders and ensuring timely deliveries. However, logistical challenges, traffic congestion, and environmental concerns pose significant hurdles for delivery service providers, underscoring the need for innovative solutions.

Costs per Delivery and Operational Efficiency

One of the key advantages of electric delivery vehicles lies in their lower operating costs compared to traditional combustion engine vehicles. With the rising prices of fossil fuels and maintenance expenses, EVs offer substantial savings in fuel and maintenance costs over their lifespan. Yet the ‘46’ manufacturers in 2020 has percolated to avail only 4-6 considered market players led by Ola through sheer market penetration and Ather through the premium sector yet even the leaders face challenges. Some have potentially underestimated the demand, overlooked after-sales, and certain opportunists have abused the government’s FAME-2 subsidy, retracting consumer and dealership confidence. So why are we looking at this troubled market and why now?

At ONE MOTO we aren’t looking to lead the Indian market in terms of volume of units sold, but we are here to offer premium, affordable electric vehicles, building generational loyalty and contributing to the innovation in the market.

Stats

Recent studies indicate that the cost per delivery for electric vehicles in New Delhi ranges from INR 1.5 to INR 2.5 per kilometre, depending on factors such as vehicle efficiency, charging infrastructure availability, and electricity tariffs.

The fluctuating fuel prices (state and nationwide) of course impacts the daily commuter, whether they ride for commercial or private use, our vehicles must be a barometer of confidence for the market, and positioning is key. Without unveiling confidential strategies, we are focusing on one city at a time starting in New Delhi with a population of 40 million, this city (in population) is the size of some countries, so it’s no small feat, nor do we offer a sentiment of ease to penetrate an existing market of this size. Securing the right partners was critical, and establishing close governmental relationships is necessary to ensure that an international brand understands the virtues of operating in such a complex landscape.

Forecasted Growth and Market Opportunities

Looking ahead, the future of last-mile delivery in New Delhi appears bright, with electric vehicles poised to play an increasingly prominent role in shaping the delivery landscape. Industry forecasts predict a surge in EV adoption, driven by advancements in battery technology, infrastructure development, and favourable government policies.

In the buzzing landscape of two-wheeled commuting in Sri Lanka, a new era of efficiency, sustainability, and innovation is on the horizon. As e-commerce rises and demand for convenient delivery services grows – making it the most common form of commuting – adopting electric motorcycles will enhance lives and boost incomes for ONE MOTO vehicle users.

Current Landscape of Delivery Market in Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka’s delivery market has experienced significant issues both geo-politically and fiscal in recent years, increasing internet penetration, and changing consumer preferences. Recent statistics project that the e-commerce market in Sri Lanka will reach USD 2.1 billion by 2025, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 23.7% from 2020 to 2025. Huge figures, too optimistic? We’ll roll with the analysts data for the purposes of demonstrating the benefits and our rationale.

In this dynamic landscape, delivery plays a pivotal role in fulfilling the needs of consumers, businesses, and the economy at large. Two-wheeled commuting is commonplace in Sri Lanka, where students, workers, and delivery services rely heavily on motorcycles, impacting air quality due to the predominance of petrol vehicles—for now. Across Colombo you can taste the pollution, the humidity and heat holds a blanket of smog to your airways, there’s no escaping it. Yet the solution provided has complications.

Introduction of Electric Motorcycles and Bike Taxis

ONE MOTO, built with a mission to bring change are spearheading the transition towards sustainable last-mile delivery solutions in Sri Lanka and we do this by working with equally committed partners. Some of the issues are access to electricity, yet our partners have delivered solar systems across their facilities to provide free, clean charging for their employees. One step towards a positive change.

By harnessing the power of renewable energy, these vehicles not only reduce operational expenses but also contribute to mitigating air pollution and combating climate change – a pressing concern for the island nation.

Moreover, the emergence of bike taxis, powered by electric motorcycles, has further transformed urban mobility in Sri Lanka. These agile and eco-friendly vehicles provide an affordable and convenient transportation option for riders, while also alleviating traffic congestion and enhancing overall urban liveability.

One of the benefits of ONE MOTO is the modularity of our vehicles to suit the markets we enter. We aim to provide premium, affordable mobility for all markets, recognising that not every territory requires the highest-performing, longest-range vehicles (like our GTe collection), which come with a higher price point. Industry analysts project a CAGR of over 25% for the electric motorcycle market in Sri Lanka, underscoring the immense potential for growth and innovation in this sector.

Market Nuances

Some of the issues surrounding the country are the low-cost, poor quality imports arriving from their neighbours, understandable with the currency issues and fiscal contractions. Cost is always a conversation, but should it be the sole ‘driver’ to create the sale? Or do you offer a premium product you guarantee your customers can afford? Yeah, we do too!

ONE MOTO are always open to discuss new territories, create a market from ideals, connect with us, and let’s see where the conversation leads.

In recent years, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has witnessed a seismic shift in consumer behaviour, driven by technological advancements and changing lifestyles and there’s no denying COVID-19 played a leading role!

This transformation has propelled the food and e-commerce delivery sector into the spotlight, with an unprecedented surge in demand for convenient and efficient delivery services. As the industry continues to evolve, navigating the intricacies of delivery volumes, costs, and forecasted growth becomes essential for businesses operating in this dynamic landscape.

Explosive Growth in Delivery Volumes

The UAE’s food and e-commerce delivery sector has experienced exponential growth, fuelled by a burgeoning population thanks to the vision and invitational platform for the world to explore, increasing urbanisation across the Emirates, and a relentless appetite for convenience. Recent statistics project that the UAE’s food last-mile delivery market will reach a value of USD 2.2 billion by 2025, growing at a compound annual rate of 14.2% from 2020 to 2025.

Similarly, the e-commerce sector has witnessed a remarkable uptick in delivery volumes, with online retail sales in the UAE expected to surpass USD 31 billion by Q4 this year largely due to the prominent marketplaces like Temu and Shein. The COVID-19 pandemic has further accelerated this surge in demand, prompting consumers to embrace online shopping and home delivery services at an unprecedented pace.

Cost Impact and Operational Cause

While the growth prospects for the food and e-commerce delivery sector in the UAE are promising, businesses face a myriad of challenges, particularly concerning delivery costs and operational efficiency. Fluctuating fuel prices, labour expenses, and infrastructure investments exert pressure on delivery service providers and fleet operators to streamline operations and optimise costs without compromising service quality. The multiple stakeholders are affected at varying degrees with a responsibility to their riders being a factor (profit vs welfare).

Recent studies indicate that the average (all-inclusive/aggregated stakeholder) cost per delivery in the UAE ranges from AED 20 to AED 50, depending on various factors such as distance, delivery speed, CaC, servicing and maintenance and order volume (with customers seeing a AED 7-AED 20 price, plus ‘service fee’). However, achieving profitability remains a significant challenge for many delivery businesses, especially in light of fierce competition and evolving consumer expectations.

Forecasted Growth and Market Opportunities

Despite the challenges, the future outlook for the food and e-commerce delivery sector in the UAE remains optimistic, driven by technological innovation, demographic trends, and shifting consumer preferences. Industry analysts expect sustained growth in delivery volumes, driven by leading operators setting market milestones, adopting digital payments, and proliferating delivery platforms.

Furthermore, the emergence (approximately five years ago) of new delivery models, such as dark kitchens cloud kitchens, and autonomous delivery vehicles, presents exciting opportunities for businesses to enhance efficiency, reduce costs, and cater to evolving consumer demands. With the UAE government’s continued focus on digital transformation and infrastructure development, the stage is set for continued expansion and innovation in the delivery sector.

As ONE MOTO – Electric Vehicles pioneered two-wheeled electric vehicles in the GCC, generating a market leader presence was tough, a tremendous amount of knowledge sharing (by all stakeholders) in the value chain. As more of our electric delivery vans begin to roll out across the UAE we’ll once again demonstrate the positives of a sustainable delivery network – we’re looking forward to our partners making these announcements very soon.
