The UK foodservice delivery market is expected to total £14.6 billion in 2025, with robust growth of +3.2% per year from 2022-2025. The branded traditional fast-food channel is expected to lead value growth in the market from 2022-2025, with leading players including McDonald’s and KFC focusing on leveraging delivery. The channel is expected to hold an 18% share of the market in 2025, up from 8% in 2019. Blonnie Whist, Insight Director at Lumina Intelligence said, “'After two years of on-off restrictions across the UK eating and drinking out market, the use of foodservice delivery has become habitual to consumers, with no sign of demand waning over the coming years. 'As a result, it is no longer an either/or scenario for operators, but a necessity in order to recover from the effects of the pandemic swiftly. This is evident in our forecasts that suggest delivery's share of the total eating out market will grow each year over the next three years. However, consumers are becoming more demanding and adventurous. 'Healthier options, sustainable packaging and a wider coverage across day parts other than dinner are all areas that will be key to growth for operators.'
