Average Grocery Delivery Ticket to Grow Three Times Faster Than Meal Delivery by 2029

Beyond restaurants, other types of establishments are rapidly integrating delivery services, driving sector growth in the coming years
 
CHICAGO - March 17, 2025 - PRLog -- The delivery market has been expanding globally at a rapid pace. While the demand for home-delivered meals is well established, other segments are also rising, reflecting an increasing consumer preference for convenience.

Grocery purchases via delivery, for example, are projected to see an average spending increase per consumer three times greater than meal orders by 2029, according to data from Statista.

Grocery Delivery is Expanding Globally

According to a report by Statista, grocery delivery revenue is expected to reach $940 billion by 2025. In comparison, the whole delivery market is forecasted to generate around $1.4 trillion by the end of this year.

The restrictions imposed during the pandemic accelerated this sector, as consumers turned to delivery services not only for quick meals but also for essential supermarket items.

In the United States, companies such as Uber Eats, DoorDash, and Grubhub dominate the segment, particularly among younger consumers. While third-party apps remain more popular, proprietary platforms have also gained traction in recent years.

Supermarket Spending Expected to Grow Faster

In the market, the average ticket represents the amount each customer typically spends on a given product or service. In the supermarket segment, this indicator is expected to grow three times faster than food delivery, reaching $546.34 in 2025.

Online grocery deliveries are expected to maintain this growth trend into 2026, with a projected increase of 12.5%. Statista highlights key factors driving this momentum:
  • Expansion of the gig economy – A labor model based on short-term work, including freelancers and service providers such as delivery drivers.
  • Shifts in consumer habits – Consumers increasingly seek convenience, making home delivery an attractive option.
  • Digitalization of the population – With more people connected to the internet, access to delivery services has become more accessible.

Impact of Demand on Industry Operations

With rising demand, more platforms are investing in expanding supermarket delivery services. In the United States, major players like DoorDash and Uber Eats have already incorporated supermarkets into their platforms.

Additionally, a growing number of supermarkets now operate exclusively through delivery, adopting a model similar to cloud kitchens (https://cloudkitchens.com/) in the restaurant sector.

One example is JackBe, which launched in 2023 with an innovative "drive-thru" concept. In this model, customers do not enter the store; instead, they pick up online orders upon arrival, optimizing the shopping process.
