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.

As the world becomes increasingly fast-paced, people are looking for more convenient ways to get their meals. In Hong Kong, the meal delivery market has been growing steadily in recent years.

Customer preferences: Hong Kong is a city that never sleeps, and people are always on the go. As a result, many consumers prefer to have their meals delivered to their homes or offices. In addition, Hong Kong has a high population density and limited living space, which means that many people do not have a kitchen or the time to cook. This has led to a surge in demand for meal delivery services.

Trends in the market: One trend in the Hong Kong meal delivery market is the rise of healthy meal options. Consumers are becoming more health-conscious and are looking for meals that are low in calories and high in nutrients. As a result, many meal delivery companies are offering healthy meal options to cater to this demand.Another trend in the market is the use of technology. Many meal delivery companies in Hong Kong have developed mobile apps that allow customers to order their meals with just a few clicks. This has made it easier for consumers to order food and has also helped companies streamline their operations.

Local special circumstances: Hong Kong is a highly competitive market, and there are many meal delivery companies vying for customers. As a result, companies need to differentiate themselves to stand out. One way that companies are doing this is by offering unique meal options that cannot be found elsewhere. For example, some companies are offering fusion cuisine that combines different types of cuisine to create unique and exciting dishes.

Underlying macroeconomic factors: Hong Kong is a city with a high cost of living, and many people are looking for ways to save money. Meal delivery services can be more affordable than eating out at restaurants, which has contributed to the growth of the market. In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic has led to a surge in demand for meal delivery services as people are staying at home more and avoiding crowded places.In conclusion, the meal delivery market in Hong Kong is growing rapidly due to customer preferences for convenience and healthy options, the use of technology, local competition, and underlying macroeconomic factors. As the market continues to evolve, we can expect to see more innovative meal options and technological advancements that will further streamline the meal delivery process.
