China Online Food Delivery Market

Read more about this report - REQUEST FREE SAMPLE COPY IN PDF

China dominates the Asia online food delivery industry. It accounts for almost 70% of the industry on the continent. Restaurant-to-consumer delivery leads the industry over platform-to-consumer delivery in China. However, the platform-to-consumer delivery option is expected to witness a faster growth. Pizza is a popular product in China's food delivery sector and is also the dominating segment in the online food delivery market in the country. Thus, the growing consumption of pizza is expected to drive the industry in the coming years. In 2018, China’s pizza sales reached a total value of nearly USD 3.6 billion. Pizza sales are expected to witness a robust increase of 20% in the coming five years in the Asian country.

An expanding consumer base is driving the industry growth. The delivery applications in China are witnessing a continuous growth in the number of monthly active users. In December 2018, the number of active users on these applications reached over 102 million. The online food delivery industry in China is highly concentrated. It is dominated by Ele.me and Meituan Dianping, who together accounted for almost 90% of the industry share in 2018. Baidu Waumai, Baidu’s food delivery arm, was the third-largest player in the Chinese industry. However, Baidu Waumai was acquired by its major rival, Ele.me, and rebranded as Star.Ele.me in October 2018. It will continue operating as a sub-brand of Ele.me, which will offer premium food, and is targeted towards a high-end market. Both the major players in the Chinese industry are supported by the leading on-demand companies in China. While Ele.me operates as an independent subsidiary of Alibaba Group, after its acquisition by the online retail giant in April 2018, Tencent, on the other hand, has a majority stake in Meituan Dianping. Meituan Dianping is the leading online food delivery company of the two major players in the industry. It has expanded its customer base to smaller cities of China and accounts for a daily order of nearly 20 million.
