Definition:

The Restaurant-to-Consumer 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 aggregation services collect the menus of independent restaurants and specialized delivery services. In other words, they merely lay the technical foundation for the searchability of restaurants and the processing of transactions. The restaurant itself takes care of 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.

In-Scope

  • Meals ordered online which are directly delivered by the restaurant, no matter if ordered via a platform (e.g. Delivery Hero) or a restaurant website (e.g. Domino's)
  • Online orders that are picked up in the restaurant

Out-Of-Scope

  • Phone orders
  • Online meal order and delivery both carried out by a platform (e.g. Deliveroo)
  • Deliveries of non-processed or non-prepared food

    Analyst Opinion

    The Caribbean region has always been a popular tourist destination, attracting people from all over the world with its pristine beaches, clear waters, and vibrant culture. With the rise of food delivery services, the restaurant delivery market in the Caribbean has also been growing steadily.

    Customer preferences:
    Customers in the Caribbean region are increasingly looking for convenience and speed when it comes to ordering food. With the rise of food delivery apps, customers can now easily browse through menus, place orders, and track their deliveries in real-time. Additionally, customers in the region are also becoming more health-conscious and are looking for healthier food options.

    Trends in the market:
    One of the key trends in the restaurant delivery market in the Caribbean is the rise of local food delivery services. While international food delivery apps are also popular in the region, local apps are gaining traction due to their focus on local cuisine and faster delivery times. Another trend in the market is the increasing use of technology to improve the delivery experience. For example, some restaurants are now using drones to deliver food to customers on remote islands.

    Local special circumstances:
    One of the unique challenges faced by the restaurant delivery market in the Caribbean is the geography of the region. With many islands and remote locations, delivering food can be difficult and expensive. Additionally, the region's reliance on tourism means that the market can be highly seasonal, with demand for food delivery services fluctuating throughout the year.

    Underlying macroeconomic factors:
    The growth of the restaurant delivery market in the Caribbean is being driven by a number of underlying macroeconomic factors. These include the increasing use of technology, changing customer preferences, and the rise of the sharing economy. Additionally, the region's growing middle class and the rise of e-commerce are also contributing to the growth of the market. However, the market is also facing challenges such as high delivery costs and the need to adapt to the region's unique geography and culture.

    Methodology

    Data coverage:

    The data encompasses B2C enterprises. Figures are based on Gross Merchandise Value (GMV) and represent what consumers pay for these products and services. The user metrics show the number of customers who have made at least one online purchase within the past 12 months.

    Modeling approach / Market size:

    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.

    Forecasts:

    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.

    Additional notes:

    The market is updated twice a year in case market dynamics change. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war are considered at a country-specific level. GCS data is reweighted for representativeness.
