Industry Analysis: Gig-Economy Delivery Platform

Market Sizing, Competitive Landscape Analysis, and Unit Economics

Challenge

A private equity firm wanted to evaluate a potential investment in a gig-economy delivery platform that operated a white-label offering for grocery delivery.

Key diligence questions included:

  • Validation of the market size and future growth
  • Competitive landscape within target’s core geographies
  • Target’s business model and typical unit economics

The GLG Approach

GLG assembled an engagement team of former commercial due diligence consultants from top-tier firms, along with a 25-year logistics and supply chain veteran executive who served as an advisor.

During the three-week effort, the GLG team facilitated:

  • 20 expert interviews from the competitor and customer perspectives
  • Desk research of company websites, industry reports, and press releases

Outcome

GLG’s commercial due diligence team helped synthesize findings into an 80-page report outlining the target’s positioning based on industry growth prospects, competitive makeup, and unit economics moving forward.
