Statista trend report on the food delivery revolution and the ongoing crisis

Online food delivery: from the big bang to the big crunch

Demand for food delivery experienced an unprecedented increase during the COVID-19 outbreak, with nearly two billion people ordering food online globally by the end of 2020. E-grocery deliveries drove that increase, with companies offering ultra-fast delivery engaging in a competitive race to establish their footing in the market. While the pandemic brought significant gains for the sector, the ensuing economic downturn has taken its toll on even the most successful players, turning it into a fierce competition for survival with few predicted to come out on top.

This report offers a comprehensive overview of the global online food delivery market, including the major companies operating in the industry, their growth strategies, and the challenges they need to overcome to achieve success.
