Customer preferences:
Customers in Benelux have shown an increasing preference for convenience and speed when it comes to food delivery. With busy work schedules and a desire for more leisure time, many consumers are turning to online food delivery services as a way to save time and effort. In addition, the rise of mobile technology has made it easier than ever for consumers to order food from their favorite restaurants with just a few taps on their smartphone.

Trends in the market:
One of the key trends in the Online Food Delivery market in Benelux is the growing popularity of meal delivery services. These services offer customers the ability to order pre-cooked meals that can be delivered directly to their doorstep, providing a convenient and healthy alternative to traditional fast food. Another trend is the rise of online ordering platforms that allow customers to order food from a wide range of restaurants in their area. These platforms offer a one-stop-shop for customers, providing them with a wide range of food options and the ability to compare prices and delivery times.

Local special circumstances:
One of the unique aspects of the Online Food Delivery market in Benelux is the high level of competition between delivery services. With a large number of companies vying for market share, customers have access to a wide range of options when it comes to ordering food online. In addition, the region's diverse culinary scene has led to a growing demand for niche delivery services that specialize in specific types of cuisine.

Underlying macroeconomic factors:
The growth of the Online Food Delivery market in Benelux can be attributed to a number of underlying macroeconomic factors. These include rising disposable incomes, an increasing number of working professionals, and a growing preference for online shopping and delivery services. In addition, the region's high population density and urbanization have made it an ideal market for food delivery services, as many consumers live in apartments or other urban dwellings that may not have easy access to traditional grocery stores or restaurants.

Methodology

Modeling approach / Market size:

Market sizes are determined through a bottom-up approach, building on predefined factors for each market. As a basis for evaluating markets, we use annual financial reports of the market-leading companies, third-party studies and reports, as well as survey results from our primary research (e.g., the Statista Global Consumer Survey). In addition, we use relevant key market indicators and data from country-specific associations, such as GDP, GDP per capita, and internet connection speed. This data helps us estimate the market size for each country individually.

Forecasts:

In our forecasts, we apply diverse forecasting techniques. The selection of forecasting techniques is based on the behavior of the relevant market. For example, the S-curve function and exponential trend smoothing. The main drivers are internet users, urban population, usage of key players, and attitudes toward online services.

Additional notes:

The market is updated twice a year in case market dynamics change. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war are considered at a country-specific level. GCS data is reweighted for representativeness.
