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:

    Analyst Opinion

    Bhutan, a small landlocked country located in South Asia, is known for its unique culture, breathtaking scenery, and Gross National Happiness index. The Meal Delivery market in Bhutan has been steadily developing over the past few years, reflecting the changing lifestyles and preferences of Bhutanese consumers.

    Customer preferences:
    Bhutanese consumers are increasingly turning to meal delivery services due to the convenience and time-saving benefits they offer.

Moreover, the growing popularity of online platforms and mobile apps has made it easier for consumers to order meals from a variety of restaurants and food outlets.

    Trends in the market:
    One of the key trends in the Meal Delivery market in Bhutan is the increasing demand for healthy and organic food options. Consumers are becoming more health-conscious and are looking for meals that are not only convenient but also nutritious. This trend is reflected in the growing number of meal delivery services that offer healthy and organic food options.Another trend in the market is the rise of food delivery services that cater to specific dietary requirements. With the increasing prevalence of food allergies and intolerances, consumers are looking for meal delivery services that can cater to their specific dietary needs. As a result, there has been a rise in meal delivery services that offer gluten-free, vegan, and vegetarian options.

    Local special circumstances:
    Bhutan is a unique market with its own set of challenges and opportunities. The country's rugged terrain, limited infrastructure, and small population make it difficult for meal delivery services to operate efficiently. Moreover, Bhutanese cuisine is heavily influenced by Indian and Tibetan cuisine, which can be challenging for foreign meal delivery services to cater to.

    Underlying macroeconomic factors:
    The Meal Delivery market in Bhutan is also influenced by macroeconomic factors such as GDP growth, inflation, and consumer spending. Bhutan's economy has been growing steadily over the past few years, which has led to an increase in disposable income and consumer spending. This has created opportunities for meal delivery services to expand their operations and cater to a growing consumer base.In conclusion, the Meal Delivery market in Bhutan is developing rapidly, driven by changing consumer preferences, increasing demand for healthy and organic food options, and the rise of food delivery services that cater to specific dietary requirements.

    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.

    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.
