Definition:
Meal Delivery is the online ordering and delivery of prepared meals by a restaurant or a platform for direct consumption. Orders are typically placed in an app or on a website. The delivery is handled by the platform enterprise (e.g. Deliveroo) or directly by the restaurant (e.g. Domino’s).Structure:
Meal Delivery contains the user and revenue development of two different delivery service solutions for prepared meals: (1) Restaurant Delivery and (2) Platform Delivery. The Restaurant Delivery market includes the delivery of meals carried out directly by the restaurants. The order may be made via platforms (e.g. Delivery Hero, Just Eat) or directly through a restaurant website (e.g. Domino's). The Platform Delivery market focuses on online delivery services that provide customers with meals from partner restaurants that do not necessarily have to offer food delivery themselves. In this case, the platform (e.g. Deliveroo) handles the delivery process.).Additional Information:
Revenue includes the gross merchandise value (GMV), defined as the total sales dollar value for merchandise/food sold through the Online Food Delivery marketplace. User and revenue figures represent B2C services.Notes: Data reflects market impacts of the Russia-Ukraine war.

Meal delivery has become a popular trend in Argentina, with a growing number of consumers opting for the convenience of having their meals delivered to their doorstep.
Customer preferences: Argentinian consumers, particularly those living in urban areas, have increasingly busy lifestyles and are looking for quick and easy meal options. Meal delivery services provide a convenient solution for those who do not have the time or energy to cook after a long day at work. Additionally, the COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the adoption of meal delivery services, as more people are staying at home and avoiding crowded restaurants.
Trends in the market: One of the major trends in the Argentinian meal delivery market is the rise of healthy and sustainable food options. Consumers are becoming more health-conscious and are seeking out meal delivery services that offer fresh and nutritious meals. Another trend is the increasing popularity of international cuisine, particularly Asian and Middle Eastern food. This trend is driven by the growing number of immigrants in Argentina and the desire to try new and exotic flavors.
Local special circumstances: Argentina has a strong food culture, with a diverse range of regional cuisines and a love of meat and grilled food. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the restaurant industry, with many establishments forced to close or operate at reduced capacity. This has led to an increase in demand for meal delivery services, which provide a lifeline for struggling restaurants and enable them to reach a wider customer base.
Underlying macroeconomic factors: Argentina has faced economic challenges in recent years, including high inflation and a volatile currency. This has led to a decrease in consumer spending and a shift towards more affordable meal options. Meal delivery services are seen as a cost-effective alternative to eating out at restaurants, particularly for those on a tight budget. Additionally, the rise of meal delivery platforms has created new job opportunities in the gig economy, providing a source of income for those who may have been affected by the economic downturn.
