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.

Additionally, customers prefer meal delivery services that offer a wide range of cuisine options, including traditional local dishes and international cuisine.

    Trends in the market:
    The meal delivery market in Papua New Guinea has seen significant growth in recent years. This growth can be attributed to the increasing adoption of technology and the rise in the number of working professionals who prefer the convenience of ordering food online. Meal delivery services have also expanded their offerings to include grocery deliveries, catering services, and meal subscription plans. Furthermore, the COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the growth of the meal delivery market, as customers have increasingly opted for contactless delivery options.

    Papua New Guinea is a diverse country with a rich culinary heritage. The country's cuisine is heavily influenced by the local ingredients and cooking techniques of its various regions. Meal delivery services that offer traditional local dishes have become popular among customers who want to experience the country's unique culinary offerings. However, the country's infrastructure can pose a challenge for meal delivery services, as many areas lack proper road networks and transportation facilities.

The country has seen steady economic growth in recent years, which has led to an increase in disposable income among its population.

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.
