“So there's gonna be some regional champions here, because look, I can't do 200 countries within the next two years. It's not humanly possible. So there's gonna be some other companies doing some regions that we don't go.”

The claim, plainly

Nazim Salur predicts that regional quick-commerce champions will emerge in geographical areas Getir does not expand into over the next two years.

Assessment

Between September 2021 and September 2023, Getir did not expand into major global regions such as South Asia, Latin America, the Middle East/GCC, Southeast Asia, and East Asia. In these specific areas, distinct regional quick-commerce champions emerged and achieved significant scale and market leadership. For example, in India, Zepto was founded in July 2021 and became a unicorn by August 2023 ($1.4B valuation), alongside scaled players like Blinkit and Swiggy Instamart. In Latin America, Rappi Turbo expanded across seven countries; in the Middle East, Talabat Mart scaled micro-fulfillment dark stores processing massive daily volume; and in Southeast/East Asia, players like Pandamart and Meituan Shangou dominated local quick-commerce. Thus, the prediction that regional champions would emerge in areas Getir did not enter came true within the two-year timeframe.

As of September 2023, Getir operated in only five markets (Turkey, UK, Germany, Netherlands, and US), leaving major regions untouched.
Zepto in India was launched in July 2021 and reached a $1.4B valuation in August 2023 through 10-minute quick-commerce.
Rappi Turbo (Latin America) and Talabat Mart (GCC/Middle East) scaled rapidly as regional market leaders in quick commerce between 2021 and 2023.
