Sunil GillFood delivery is a business measured in hundreds of billions of dollars a year. DoorDash's marketplaces handled $102.0 billion of orders in 2025, across 3.17 billion orders. Uber's Delivery segment, which includes Uber Eats, recorded $90.9 billion of gross bookings in the same year, and Instacart processed $37.2 billion.
This page collects the figures the delivery companies report themselves, taken from their earnings releases and regulatory filings and current to the quarter ended June 30, 2026. Every number carries its period and a link to the document it came from. Where a figure is a third-party estimate, such as US market share or app downloads, it is labeled as one. Reports on individual apps are in our app market data library.

The largest food delivery companies compared
The companies do not report the same measure. DoorDash publishes Marketplace GOV, Uber publishes gross bookings, Instacart publishes GTV and Delivery Hero and Grab publish GMV. All of them describe the value of orders placed, but the definitions differ in what they include, so treat the table as a guide to scale and not as a like-for-like ranking.
| Company | Measure | Full year 2025 | Second quarter 2026 |
|---|---|---|---|
| DoorDash | Marketplace GOV | $102,018 million | $33,078 million |
| Uber (Delivery segment) | Gross bookings | $90,864 million* | $27,463 million |
| Delivery Hero | GMV | €49,197 million | €13,209 million |
| Instacart | GTV | $37,224 million | $10,351 million |
| Grab (Deliveries segment) | GMV | $14,236 million | $4,249 million |
*Uber reports Delivery gross bookings by quarter. The 2025 figure is the sum of the four quarters in its FY 2025 Form 10-K.
DoorDash statistics

| Year | Revenue | Total orders | Marketplace GOV | Net income (loss) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | $8,635 million | 2,161 million | $66,771 million | ($558 million) |

In the second quarter of 2026 orders were up 27% and GOV up 36% on a year earlier. Excluding Deliveroo, DoorDash says orders grew 17% and GOV 23%.
DoorDash users and members
- Monthly active users: over 56 million in December 2025, over 42 million in December 2024 and over 37 million in December 2023. DoorDash counts accounts that completed an order in the last month of the period.
- Paid members: over 35 million DashPass, Wolt+ and Deliveroo Plus members at the end of 2025. A year earlier, before Deliveroo, the figure was over 22 million.
- Reach: its marketplaces operate in over 40 countries.
- Grocery: over 30% of US monthly active users ordered from grocery and retail categories in December 2025.
DoorDash has not published a monthly active user or member count for any quarter of 2026.
Uber Eats and Uber Delivery statistics
Uber does not publish figures for the Uber Eats app on its own. It reports a Delivery segment, which covers Uber Eats along with grocery and other delivery. Any "Uber Eats users" number you see elsewhere is an outside estimate.
| Period | Delivery gross bookings | Delivery revenue |
|---|---|---|
| Full year 2024 | $74,614 million* | $13,750 million |
| Full year 2025 | $90,864 million* | $17,248 million |
| Q2 2025 | $21,734 million | $4,102 million |
| Q2 2026 | $27,463 million | $5,245 million |
*Sum of the four quarters Uber reports.
Delivery revenue grew 25% in 2025 and 28% year on year in the second quarter of 2026. Across the whole platform, rides included, Uber had 208 million monthly active platform consumers in that quarter.
The Uber One membership program had 46 million members at December 31, 2025 and reached 50 million by May 6, 2026. Uber says members account for half of its combined ride and delivery gross bookings.
Instacart statistics
Instacart, which trades as Maplebear Inc., delivers groceries more than restaurant meals, but it is one of the largest delivery apps in the US by order value.
| Period | GTV | Orders | Total revenue |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full year 2025 | $37,224 million | 338.8 million | $3,742 million |
| Q2 2026 | $10,351 million | 90.3 million | $1,043 million |
GTV grew 11% in 2025 and 14% in the second quarter of 2026. Advertising brought in $1,065 million of the 2025 revenue, and the company reported net income of $447 million for the year. More history is in our Instacart statistics report.
Europe: Delivery Hero, Just Eat Takeaway and Deliveroo
Delivery Hero, which runs brands including foodpanda, Glovo and talabat in around 65 countries, reported GMV of €49,196.8 million for 2025 and adjusted EBITDA of €903 million. In the second quarter of 2026 its GMV was €13,208.6 million on 981 million orders (H1 2026 release).
Just Eat Takeaway.com is now owned by Prosus, whose €20.30 per share offer was declared unconditional on October 2, 2025. Prosus reported that the business delivered revenue of $1.9 billion in its first six months under the new owner.
Deliveroo is now part of DoorDash. In its last half-year as an independent company, the six months to June 30, 2025, press reports of its results put gross transaction value at £3.8 billion on 147 million orders.
Asia and Latin America: Meituan, Zomato, Swiggy, Grab and iFood
| Company | Market | Latest reported figure | Period |
|---|---|---|---|
| Meituan | China | Core Local Commerce revenue of RMB260.8 billion; delivery services revenue of RMB96.1 billion | Full year 2025 |
| Zomato (Eternal) | India | Food delivery net order value of INR 10,769 crore | April to June 2026 |
| Swiggy | India | Food delivery gross order value of INR 9,490 crore; 19.2 million monthly transacting users | April to June 2026 |
| Grab | Southeast Asia | Deliveries GMV of $14,236 million | Full year 2025 |
| iFood (Prosus) | Brazil | Core food delivery orders up 8%, GMV up 17% | Year to March 31, 2026 |
Three notes on reading this table. Zomato's parent reports net order value and stopped disclosing gross order value in 2026, while Swiggy still reports gross, so the two Indian figures are not directly comparable. Meituan does not publish order counts or user numbers in its results announcements. And 2025 was a hard year in China: Meituan's Core Local Commerce segment swung to an operating loss of RMB6.9 billion, from a profit of RMB52.4 billion in 2024, before returning to a profit of RMB5.7 billion in the second quarter of 2026.
US food delivery market share
No company or regulator publishes US market share. The figures in circulation are estimates from firms that analyze panels of card transactions, and the most recent public readings are from 2024.
| Source | Period measured | DoorDash | Uber Eats | Grubhub |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bloomberg Second Measure | March 2024 | 67% | 23%, or 25% with Postmates | 8% |
| Earnest Analytics | End of 2024 | 60.7% | 26.1% | 6.3% |
The two estimates use different panels, months and company definitions, so the gap between them is not a measured seven-point fall. Second Measure also notes that its data cannot separate meal delivery from grocery delivery. What both agree on is the order: DoorDash first by a wide margin, Uber Eats second, Grubhub a distant third.
Many articles quote the 67% figure as a 2025 or 2026 number. It is the March 2024 reading. We could not find a newer public estimate from either firm.
Food delivery app downloads
Download counts come from app intelligence firms, not from the delivery companies. Sensor Tower's report on food delivery and rideshare apps gives three figures for 2025:
- Worldwide food delivery app downloads reached nearly 450 million in the first half of 2025.
- Global downloads rose 40% year on year across the first three quarters of 2025.
- India grew fastest, with downloads up 147% in the first half of 2025.
These are Sensor Tower estimates. We found no annual download total for an individual delivery app from a named data provider that could be checked, so none is listed here. For download figures across other categories, see our list of the most popular apps.
How big is the food delivery market?
Published market sizes vary by a factor of about five, because the research firms define the market differently.
| Firm | Estimate | Year | What it covers |
|---|---|---|---|
| Statista | $1.51 trillion | 2026 (projection) | Online food delivery including grocery; grocery alone is $1.04 trillion |
| Grand View Research | $380.43 billion | 2024 | Online food delivery services; scope not detailed |
| Fortune Business Insights | $319.99 billion | 2025 | Online food delivery; scope not detailed |
None of these can be checked against a published method. The reported order values earlier on this page are a firmer base: the four companies in the comparison table that report in dollars handled about $244 billion of orders in 2025, before adding Delivery Hero's €49 billion.
Who owns which food delivery app
Ownership has changed a great deal since the start of 2025. Several apps still described as independent in older articles are not.
| Date | Deal |
|---|---|
| January 7, 2025 | Wonder completed its purchase of Grubhub from Just Eat Takeaway.com, at an enterprise value of $650 million |
| June 17, 2025 | Uber closed its purchase of an 85% stake in Trendyol GO in Turkey |
| October 2, 2025 | DoorDash completed its acquisition of Deliveroo at 180 pence per share |
| October 2, 2025 | Prosus's offer for Just Eat Takeaway.com was declared unconditional, with 90.13% of shares tendered |
| March 2026 | Delivery Hero agreed to sell foodpanda Taiwan to Grab for $600 million, subject to approval |
| July 1, 2026 | Uber completed its purchase of Getir's food delivery business for about $465 million |
| July 16, 2026 | Uber offered €41.50 per share for Delivery Hero, an equity value of $14.8 billion; expected to close in the second half of 2027 |
The Uber and Delivery Hero deal has not closed. It needs shareholder acceptances and merger clearances, and as part of it SSW Partners would buy Delivery Hero's businesses in 14 markets where the two companies overlap. Uber says the combined group would operate in 99 markets (offer announcement).
Regulation, robots and drones
Pay and fees. New York City requires delivery apps to pay workers at least $22.13 per hour before tips, a floor that rises each April. The city also caps what apps can charge restaurants, including a 15% limit on delivery fees. In Europe, member states have until December 2, 2026 to write the EU Platform Work Directive into national law.
Automation. DoorDash unveiled Dot, a delivery robot it built in-house, on September 30, 2025, and said in August 2026 that it expects Dot to deliver a high single-digit percentage of orders in its largest test market by the end of the year. It has also earned FAA certification to operate as an air carrier for drone delivery. Serve Robotics, which delivers for Uber Eats, says it deployed its 2,000th sidewalk robot in December 2025.
Grocery. The delivery apps are becoming grocery apps. Quick commerce made up 18.3% of Delivery Hero's GMV in the second quarter of 2026, and in India the Blinkit grocery business now has a larger order value than Zomato's restaurant delivery.
