GrabFood hits 4m orders
Grab announced in a press release on Friday that GrabFood, its on-demand food delivery business, achieved more than 4 million orders in the first 4 months of 2019, surpassing the 3 million orders achieved in 2018.
The company said GrabFood became the market leader in food delivery in October 2018, only 8 months after its official launch in February 2018.
According to market research done by Kantar in February 2019, GrabFood is Thai consumers’ No.1 online food delivery platform. As much as 44 per cent of consumers voted GrabFood as the most often used brand in Thailand, saying it was the online food delivery platform they used the most often.
Off the back of a strong year of growth in Bangkok and Chiang Mai, GrabFood will expand to at least six more cities across Thailand in 2019 and bring the convenience of food delivery to even more Thai consumers. Grab’s partnership with Central Group, allows GrabFood to quickly expand its restaurant network in the targeted cities.
Tarin Thaniyavarn, Country Head of Grab Thailand, said: "In April, we achieved 1 million orders in 3 weeks. GrabFood has been growing exponentially, enabling us to, in less than one year, overtake competitors who have been in Thailand for years.
“This is only possible with the strong support of our delivery-partners and merchant-partners. We will work even harder to provide better income opportunities for delivery-partners, and to help merchant-partners grow their businesses.”
