Here are some key findings from the food delivery report:
The total annual expenditure on food delivery & takeaway orders in the Irish market is an estimated €2.2 billion ex VAT.
Consumers spend an average of €46.69 on takeaways monthly and order a takeaway approximately 2.9 times per month.
Takeaways are most likely ordered to share, with 54% of restaurant partners saying orders are for at least two people.
Grocery is a rapidly growing area for the food delivery and takeaway sector with 23% having used a food delivery service to order groceries over the past year.
Of this 23%, on average they spend €174.30 on grocery delivery services in a month.
Over half are interested in knowing the carbon footprint of their takeaway order and 65% of people find it important that restaurants are transparent in what they are doing to be sustainable.
A third said they would choose a restaurant that uses sustainable takeaway packaging over one that only uses regular plastic.
