In the bustling world of food delivery services, where competition is fierce and survival is challenging, Glovo emerged as a shining star in the Nigerian market. While industry giants like Bold Food and Jumia Food struggled to stay afloat, Glovo not only survived but thrived, reshaping the landscape of food delivery in Nigeria.
“Businesses on Glovo generated ₦71 billion in four years,”
revealed during the Future of Commerce summit, showcasing the tremendous impact the platform has had on local vendors and entrepreneurs.
Chowdeck also made waves with one of its vendors completing over 500,000 deliveries, resulting in an impressive ₦2.3 billion in sales. Another success story came from Korede Spaghetti, raking in a remarkable ₦1 billion through the platform. These figures underscore the growing dominance of Chowdeck and Glovo in Nigeria’s food delivery scene.
The question looms: who holds more sway – Glovo or Chowdeck? While opinions vary and comparisons are drawn based on popularity and reach across cities, the true measure of success may lie beyond surface appearances.
“All these figures Chowdeck and Glovo are throwing around make me wonder why Bolt Food and Jumia Food left,”
sparking curiosity about undisclosed nuances shaping the market dynamics.
Nigeria’s standing as Africa’s tech hub faces challenges as it slips two spots to 66th on the Global Startup Ecosystem Index. The country now ranks fourth in Africa behind South Africa, Kenya, and Egypt, indicating a significant shift in its once-thriving startup ecosystem.
Factors contributing to this decline include unstable foreign exchange rates, unpredictable policies, a subdued venture capital climate, and talent drain – issues that demand strategic interventions for sustainable growth.
Despite these setbacks, glimmers of hope emerge as Nigerian cities like Benin and Kano gain traction within regional tech hubs. However, aspirations to cement Nigeria’s status as a prominent startup destination require more than enthusiasm; they necessitate supportive policies, robust funding mechanisms, and nurturing environments for budding innovators.
