Recognising the logistics needs of SMEs, driver partners and the community, Lalamove aims to provide flexible and affordable delivery for all

HONG KONG SAR - Media OutReach Newswire - 13 November 2024 – Lalamove, the leading on-demand delivery platform, has announced its launch in Istanbul, Türkiye, marking its first step into the Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) region. Lalamove believes that Türkiye's geographical advantages, coupled with its growth potential and large domestic market, will provide significant opportunities. As a technology platform with international experience and localised expertise, Lalamove connects small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), driver partners, and individual users seamlessly, creating values for the local economy.

Türkiye offers significant growth potential with fast delivery solutions as key driver for SMEs

Founded in Hong Kong in 2013, Lalamove rapidly expanded to 13 markets across Asia, Latin America, and the EMEA region, including its newest venture in Türkiye. This expansion marks a crucial milestone for Lalamove as it enters the EMEA market.

Türkiye, a participant in the Belt and Road initiative, is recognised as a strategic hub for global trade, logistics, and manufacturing. They are actively improving and developing new shipping and logistics infrastructure, such as the International Transport Corridor connecting Türkiye with the European railway system, driving an increasing demand for logistics services and presents considerable growth opportunities. With approximately 3 million SMEs making up the backbone of the local economy, and online sales representing only 3.5% of total retail revenue, there is substantial room for growth.

Combining our extensive operational experience with local culture and operational insights, we make sure our service is close to local needs.Our fast, flexible, and affordable logistics technology will enhance the competitiveness of Türkiye's SMEs while creating earning opportunities for local driver partners, fostering mutual benefits."
