Food Delivery Mobile Application Market Key Takeaways
Regional Contribution to Market in 2024:
According to market research, the Asia Pacific region is expected to make the largest contribution to the food delivery mobile application market in 2024. Growing urbanisation, changing consumer preferences, and the rise of the middle class in countries like China and India have all contributed to an increase in demand for food delivery services through mobile applications.
Fastest Growing Region:
Although the Asia Pacific region has the largest market share, the Middle East and Africa are expected to have the fastest rates of growth in the use of mobile applications for food delivery. These areas’ changing lifestyles, increased smartphone use, and growing internet penetration are driving the demand for quick and simple meal delivery services.
Market Breakdown by Type:
The market for food delivery mobile applications can be split into two main categories: platform-to-consumer delivery and restaurant-to-consumer delivery. Platform-to-consumer delivery services, such as DoorDash and Uber Eats, connect customers with a range of restaurants and offer delivery services through their platforms. To allow for direct delivery to customers, some restaurants, like Pizza Hut and Domino’s Pizza, own and operate restaurant-to-consumer delivery apps.
Fastest Growing Sub-Segment:
The platform-to-consumer delivery component’s fastest-growing subsegment is anticipated to be group ordering and catering services. These services are becoming more and more popular among office workers, event planners, and party planners who need to place large food orders. Because using a mobile application to place bulk orders is so simple, this sub-segment is growing.
Key Applications (2024 Market Share):
The primary applications that are expected to dominate the food delivery mobile application market in 2024 are online meal delivery, grocery delivery, and food ordering services. Examples of online meal ordering apps that allow users to peruse menus, place orders, and make payments through the app are Grubhub and Seamless. Recipes and pre-portioned foods are delivered to customers’ homes by meal delivery services like HelloFresh and Blue Apron. Grocery delivery services like Instacart and Amazon Fresh allow customers to order products online and have them delivered straight to their door.
Fastest Growing Application (Forecast Period 2025 to2034)
In the food delivery mobile application market, ghost kitchens and virtual restaurants are anticipated to grow at the fastest rates between 2025 and 2034. Ghost kitchens, also known as cloud kitchens or virtual kitchens, are commercial spaces that are used only to prepare food for delivery; dine-in is not an option. Virtual restaurants only use online delivery services; they don’t have physical locations. These innovative concepts are transforming the meal delivery industry and opening up new opportunities for food entrepreneurs and delivery apps.
