The Cyprus Domestic Appliances Environment

• Cyprus is an island and as a result the continental short trucking transit times are not achievable and sea carriers’ services are always intervening along with their additional risk elements

• 98% of the businesses in Cyprus are small and medium size enterprises. This fact is also reflected in the domestic appliances sector at the POS (Point Of Sale) side. As a result, the supply chain has more frequent orders of smaller quantities to many POSs (Points of Sale) thus adding to the logistics costs

• Infrastructure at the POSs is poor to non-existing in terms of receiving facilities. This extends the time spend at the POS therefore reflected in the logistics cost
