Industry strengths
The UK food-delivery sector remains one of the strongest in Europe. The market is valued at £14.3bn in 2025, with forecasts showing continued growth as delivery becomes an entrenched consumer habit. Demand remains resilient even in a cost-of-living environment, driven by convenience, at-home dining trends, and the rise of mobile ordering.
Over 30% of UK consumers now order delivery at least once a week, and younger demographics rely on delivery as a primary way of accessing takeaway food. At the same time, restaurants are increasingly squeezed by major aggregators charging 25–35% commission, prompting a rapid shift toward lower-cost, local marketplace alternatives.
