Additionally, the wide range of cuisines and restaurants available on these platforms provides consumers with a variety of options to choose from.

Trends in the market:
One of the notable trends in the online food delivery market in Qatar is the increasing demand for healthy food options. Consumers are becoming more health-conscious and are looking for healthier meal options that can be delivered to their homes. As a result, many online food delivery platforms have started offering healthy food options to cater to this demand. Another trend in the market is the increasing adoption of technology.

With the closure of restaurants and the implementation of social distancing measures, consumers have increasingly turned to online food delivery services to satisfy their food cravings. As a result, many online food delivery platforms have seen a surge in demand during the pandemic.

Underlying macroeconomic factors:

The country's large expatriate population, which includes a significant number of young professionals, is also a key driver of the market. These consumers are tech-savvy and value convenience, making them more likely to use online food delivery services. In conclusion, the online food delivery market in Qatar is growing rapidly, driven by the convenience of these services, increasing demand for healthy food options, and the adoption of technology.

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.
