TL;DR: The global online food delivery market is set to double from USD 0.8 trillion in 2025 to USD 1.6 trillion by 2030, fueled by convenience, technology, and evolving consumer habits.Rising Demand for Convenience Reshapes the Online Food Delivery Landscape
The global online food delivery market size is projected to grow from USD 0.8 trillion in 2025 to USD 1.6 trillion by 2030, reflecting a robust compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15% over the forecast period. This surge is primarily driven by evolving consumer behavior, widespread smartphone adoption, and growing expectations for speed, convenience, and variety in meal consumption.
The combination of expanding digital infrastructure, the rise of on-demand services, and changing generational preferences-particularly among millennials and Gen Z-has revitalized the food delivery sector. Consumers are increasingly relying on mobile apps and web platforms to order meals, making online food delivery a routine part of daily life rather than an occasional convenience.

Online Food Delivery Market Key Trends
Convenience as a Core Consumer Expectation
Convenience remains the strongest driver in the food delivery industry. In today's fast-paced world, ordering a meal with a few taps on a smartphone is not just a luxury but an expectation. A 2023 DoorDash report shows that 77% of U.S. consumers have used food delivery services, with many doing so in time-sensitive situations.
Consumers are increasingly seeking personalized experiences. Platforms leverage artificial intelligence and data analytics to recommend meals based on past orders, time of day, and dietary preferences. GrubHub, for instance, uses geolocation and order history to enhance customer engagement, making food delivery more relevant and tailored.
Ghost Kitchens Gain Traction
Ghost kitchens-delivery-only restaurants without dine-in facilities-are redefining meal preparation and delivery. These models allow businesses to lower costs while offering a broader variety of food. By focusing solely on online orders, ghost kitchens provide scalable operations that quickly respond to market trends and local preferences.
Not only startups but also established brands are adopting ghost kitchens to expand delivery reach, test new menus rapidly, and serve niche consumer tastes that may not succeed in traditional restaurant formats.
Creative Marketing Tactics Enhance Engagement
Food delivery platforms are increasingly leveraging creative marketing campaigns. From influencer partnerships to short-form video promotions, companies are connecting emotionally with users. Zomato's 2023 campaign featuring a home chef for its "Zomato Everyday" service exemplifies this trend.
Loyalty programs and subscription models, offering benefits like free delivery or exclusive discounts, are driving repeat orders and enhancing customer retention.
