GRAB 4 million orders for food delivery in Q1
Grab, a leading everyday super app in Southeast Asia, announced yesterday that GrabFood, its on-demand food delivery business, had achieved over 4 million orders over the first quarter of 2019, surpassing the 3 million orders achieved in 2018.
GrabFood became the market leader in food delivery in October 2018, only eight months after its official launch in February 2018.
According to market research done by Kantar in February 2019, GrabFood has emerged as Thai consumers’ No 1 online food delivery platform, with 44 per cent of consumers voting GrabFood as the most often used brand in Thailand, and saying it was the online food delivery platform they used the most.
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, Thailand’s largest omnichannel retail conglomerate, will accelerate this expansion, allowing GrabFood to quickly expand its restaurant network in the targeted cities, said Tarin Thaniyavarn, country head of Grab Thailand.
