From startup to global success

Oscar Pierre’s idea of launching an app where consumers could get their groceries delivered in minutes, received around 100 thousand euros as first investment and it was then founded in 2015, in Spain. Since then the company spread and was operating in 25 countries, reaching a market share of over 50 percent in Spain by 2022, when it was acquired by the German food delivery giant Delivery Hero. 

Delivery Hero's success in Asia

Despite its global reach, Asia and MENA are the two most lucrative regions in terms of revenues for Delivery Hero, generating 3.7 billion euros and 2.7 billion euros in revenues in 2023, respectively. In Asia, South Korea alone has generated the majority of the company’s revenue in 2023, reaching figures of nearly 2.5 billion euros, making it a particularly lucrative market for the Berlin-based company.
