Kuwait, Qatar, and the UAE have higher Food Delivery Adoption rates than the US and China, making the GCC food delivery market, one of the most evolved, globally! As competition heats up, companies are focusing on: a) Multi-Verticality: Expanding beyond food to offer more products and services. b) Vertical integration: Creating end-to-end value chain solutions for greater value capture. Additionally, subscription programs are being aggressively pushed, with some players seeing 30-40% of users onboarded, contributing a 50-50% of GTV. What strategies do you think will shape the future of food delivery in the GCC? Would love to hear your thoughts! #FoodDelivery #FoodServices #MultiVerticality #LoyaltyPrograms #eCommerce #VerticalIntegration #Kuwait #Qatar #UAE #GCC

𝐃𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐭𝐡 𝐢𝐧 𝐆𝐂𝐂 𝐅𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐃𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲: 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐒𝐮𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬 As food delivery services continue to transform the way we dine, adoption and penetration rates varies across regions. In the GCC, the surge in demand is notable, with consumers embracing convenience and digital services. 𝐊𝐮𝐰𝐚𝐢𝐭 and 𝐐𝐚𝐭𝐚𝐫 are leading the charge in GCC with impressive adoption rates, reflecting a high consumer demand for delivery services. 𝐔𝐀𝐄 and 𝐊𝐒𝐀 are also showing strong adoption rates, indicating a robust market for food delivery. GCC countries are uniquely positioned for high food delivery adoption compared to other geographies, thanks to their 𝐰𝐞𝐥𝐥-𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐝 𝐝𝐢𝐠𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐫𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 and 𝐡𝐢𝐠𝐡 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐭 𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬. These factors play a key role in driving the rapid growth of the food delivery sector in the region. Maximizing wallet share in GCC markets is crucial for growth. Companies need to focus on: 1. Enhancing customer experience 2. Offering diverse menu options 3. Leveraging technology to streamline operations and delivery processes There is significant opportunity for growth in GCC countries, particularly with the rise in multi-vertical users and subscription-based services As convenience continues to shape consumer behavior, the future of food delivery in the GCC looks promising. The key to success will be in understanding and meeting the unique needs of consumers in these markets.
