Elryan – Building Mobile App for Iraq’s Largest Online Shopping Website

In this case study we will learn about Elryan, Iraq’s one of the largest online shopping websites and also know why its mobile app plays a vital part in its success. The Elryan app is developed by Mobikul and has been downloaded over half a million times, accounting for over 50% of its sales.

Company Overview

Elryan was launched in 2014 with a single purpose that is giving customers the right products at the best price, delivered to their door within 24 hours, anywhere in Iraq.

As the first company to launch an online marketplace in Iraq, they have always been passionate about innovation and strive to provide international standards of service to their customers.

Today Elryan has become one of the most popular e-commerce websites in the country offering a wide range of 30,000 products, including electronics, fashion, home goods, and more.

But unlike other marketplaces, they review and approve every product that is sold to make sure that the data listed is accurate, the price is the best available, and the item is available for delivery to customers on time.

The company also offers a variety of delivery options, including next-day delivery and free shipping.

They also use our own delivery fleet and employ delivery associates, which means that shoppers do not have to deal with any third parties and bear any hidden charges.

Market Overview – Ecommerce in Iraq

The e-commerce sector in Iraq has steady growth, but it is still in its early stages. With a population exceeding 40 million, the country offers market potential for online businesses.

Iraq’s internet penetration rate is slowly increasing and contributing to the surge in e-commerce activities across the country.

One of the primary challenges slowing e-commerce in Iraq is the limited access to reliable internet and electricity.

This is where mobile data penetration has witnessed significant growth, serving as a popular means of internet access. Thus creating opportunities for mobile-based commerce solutions.

While traditional brick-and-mortar retail remains dominant, shopping online is gaining popularity. The top product categories include electronics, fashion, household goods, personal care, and food delivery services.
