How a bold decision in Iraq has benefitted the last-mile

In Iraq, the last-mile delivery sector is evolving, as it should, realising the issues other countries have faced within the industry and doing it right. Late 2023, the Iraqi government banned the import of petrol motorcycles - championed by our distribution partners – led to a high impact for the demand for efficient and #sustainable #logisticssolutions. With the international expansion of the ONE MOTO brand we enter markets you don’t expect, those we know we can bring change and support the landscape and stakeholders to be more sustainable and profitable.

The Landscape of Last-Mile Delivery in Iraq

Iraq's last-mile delivery market is experiencing robust growth, driven by rapid urbanisation and urban development, expanding e-commerce platforms, and increasing consumer demand for convenience. According to recent statistics, the country's e-commerce market is projected to reach USD 3.4 billion by 2025, representing a significant opportunity for delivery service providers.

Bike taxis have emerged as a popular mode of transportation for #lastmiledelivery in urban areas and the diplomatic quarters, offering speed, agility, and cost-effectiveness.

The Rise of Electric Motorcycles

Sounds like another Hollywood epic. Far from fiction we at ONE MOTO, present a compelling solution to the challenges facing the last-mile delivery sector in Iraq. Our vehicles have been developed, tried, tested and now trusted by leading partners across five continents. Yet, it doesn’t stop there – innovation is our backbone – our partners realise this, what we offer now, surpasses expectation, so what we’re producing for future iterations will only compound that belief.

Factual Statistics and Forecasted Growth

While specific statistics on the last-mile delivery market in Iraq may be limited, global trends and regional developments provide insights into the sector's potential. According to industry reports, the global electric motorcycle market is projected to grow at a CAGR of over 7% from 2021 to 2026, which could be accelerated to double digit growth since the ban on the import of petrol motorcycles was introduced last year. We are working with our analysts to provide accurate simulations, yet we do know it will only increase.

In Iraq, the adoption of electric motorcycles for last-mile delivery is still in its nascent stages. However, with the government's focus on sustainability and the promotion of #cleanenergy initiatives, the market for #electricvehicles, including motorcycles and vans, is expected to experience significant growth in the coming years.
