𝗥𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗹 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝗽𝗼: 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝘂𝗰𝘂𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 🥒 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗿 So, the time has come: Amazon, one of the major players in #eCommerce, will discontinue its food delivery service, Amazon Fresh, in December. For years, Amazon has persistently tried to entice me with a pre-configured cucumber in my shopping cart. I have steadfastly resisted. A look at the numbers is sobering. The market share for German #online #food has barely reached 3%, much of which likely does not include truly fresh goods, and this figure also accounts for other Fast-Moving Consumer Goods #FMCG. Compared to the overall volume of food spending (which constitutes more than half of the necessary purchasing power), online services are merely existing in a niche, often generating sales equivalent to just a few dozen brick-and-mortar retailers. 𝗙𝗼𝗿 𝗺𝗲, 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗱𝗿𝗮𝘄𝗮𝗹 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗽𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴: 💡 The supply from physical grocery providers in Germany is at such a high level that one can often reach several providers quickly. 💡 The price sensitivity in the German retail food sector, with its strong players, counters the elaborate delivery logistics. 💡 For most consumers, freshness means seeing, feeling, tasting, and smelling. This simply cannot be achieved online. Nevertheless, the world will keep turning here. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗱𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗱𝗲𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀?
