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 convenience of ordering food online has become increasingly popular in Chile, leading to the growth of the restaurant delivery market.

    Customer preferences:
    Chilean customers are increasingly seeking convenience in their daily lives, and this trend has extended to their food choices. With the busy lifestyles of urban Chileans, restaurant delivery services have become a popular option for those who want to enjoy restaurant-quality food from the comfort of their own homes. Additionally, the COVID-19 pandemic has further accelerated the demand for delivery services, as customers are more hesitant to dine in at restaurants.

    Trends in the market:
    The restaurant delivery market in Chile has seen a significant increase in competition in recent years, with both local and international players entering the market. This has led to an increase in innovation and differentiation among delivery services, such as the use of technology to improve the ordering process and the introduction of new delivery options. Additionally, there has been a rise in the popularity of healthy food delivery options, as customers become more health-conscious.

    Local special circumstances:
    Chile has a strong food culture, with a diverse range of cuisines and a focus on fresh ingredients. This has led to the development of a vibrant restaurant scene, with many restaurants offering unique and high-quality dishes. The restaurant delivery market in Chile has therefore adapted to cater to this demand, with many delivery services offering a wide range of cuisines and partnering with popular local restaurants.

    Underlying macroeconomic factors:
    Chile has a strong and stable economy, with a growing middle class and increasing disposable income. This has led to an increase in consumer spending on food, including on restaurant delivery services. Additionally, the growth of e-commerce in Chile has created a favorable environment for the restaurant delivery market, with customers becoming more comfortable with online ordering and payment.

    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.
