Food users in india last 10 years

 



India’s online food ecosystem has exploded from a niche urban novelty into a daily convenience over the past decade. The annual transacting user (ATU) base reached 85 million in 2024 and is on track to hit 137 million by 2029. The market remains dominated by two primary platforms, Swiggy and Zomato.

The transformation of India's food delivery and food services market highlights a fundamental shift in user behavior:

📱 User Growth & Engagement

·        Expansion beyond Metros: While the top 8 metro cities previously accounted for the vast majority of orders, Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities now generate 20–25% of market Gross Order Value (GOV).

·        Frequency Upgrades: Growth in recent years is driven more by users ordering more frequently rather than just acquiring new users. Indian users now average 3 to 5 monthly orders.

·        Habit Formation: The number of Monthly Transacting Users (MTUs) continues to swell, and average order values (AOVs) for major apps have scaled significantly (e.g., AOVs are generally hovering above Rs 450) due to more premium restaurant additions.

💸 Total Market Expansion

·        Food Services Market: India's broader food services market expanded to roughly $85+ billion.

·        Online Delivery Share: Online delivery makes up about 11% of the total food services sector, growing from $1.4 billion to over $9 billion over the last several years, maintaining a staggering ~37% Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR).

·        Projected Trajectory: The delivery-led market is projected to reach $27 billion by 2030.
