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.

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.

The country's cuisine is heavily influenced by the local ingredients and cooking techniques of its various regions.

However, the country's infrastructure can pose a challenge for meal delivery services, as many areas lack proper road networks and transportation facilities.
