The popularity of online food delivery services has been on the rise in Turkey in recent years.
Customer preferences: Turkish consumers are increasingly turning to online food delivery services due to their convenience and time-saving benefits. With busy work schedules and long commutes, many people in Turkey are opting for the ease of having their meals delivered straight to their doorstep. Additionally, the COVID-19 pandemic has further accelerated the shift towards online food delivery as more people are staying at home and avoiding crowded public spaces.
Trends in the market: One of the key trends in the online food delivery market in Turkey is the growing popularity of mobile ordering. Many consumers are using their smartphones to place orders and track their deliveries in real-time. This has led to increased competition among food delivery platforms to provide a seamless and user-friendly mobile experience. Another trend is the rise of healthy and organic food options. As consumers become more health-conscious, there is a growing demand for healthier meal options that are also available for delivery.
Local special circumstances: The Turkish online food delivery market is unique in that it is dominated by a few major players, including Yemeksepeti and Getir. These platforms have established a strong presence in the market and have built a loyal customer base through their reliable service and wide selection of restaurant options. Additionally, Turkish cuisine is known for its rich and diverse flavors, which has contributed to the popularity of food delivery services as consumers seek out new and exciting dining experiences.
Underlying macroeconomic factors: Turkey's growing middle class and rising urbanization rates have also played a role in the development of the online food delivery market. As more people move to cities and adopt busy lifestyles, the demand for convenient and affordable meal options has increased. Additionally, the country's young and tech-savvy population has embraced the use of mobile technology for everything from ordering food to managing their finances. As a result, the online food delivery market is expected to continue to grow in Turkey in the coming years.
