The food and beverage industry are in a state of flux. Several factors are creating change in the industry. These factors include urbanization, increased population growth, and changing consumer trends. The trend towards food and drinks made from natural elements is rising worldwide. Also growing is the trend towards online food delivery, which will be the focus of this report.

The recent innovation of Food Delivery marketplaces has been accelerated by the rise of mobile payments, GPS tracking, and Big Data. These platforms use technology to match supply and demand in a similar way to the ridesharing industry. For app companies, reaching “critical mass” is an important priority, and managing supply and demand is especially important in time sensitive food delivery solutions.

Food Delivery Market Research

Consumers can now order from a broad selection of eateries with a single tap of their mobile phones. Online food delivery platforms continue to increase accessibility and choice. New online platforms are racing to capture consumers and new markets. Platforms are springing up across Asia, the Americas, the Middle East, and Europe. The industry of transporting restaurant meals to the home is experiencing rapid change.

Convenience is an important factor driving the global online food delivery app market. The Americas are the most extensive online on-demand food delivery services market. This demand is due to the high penetration of smartphones. The market for these services is also growing in South America. In that region, several start-ups are building successful on-demand solutions for food delivery. These start-ups are taking advantage of South America’s young, well-connected population.

Compared to calling a restaurant, the food delivery app is an appealing solution. Food delivery apps avoid customer pain points of being put on hold for extended periods when calling in during the traditional food delivery ordering process. Consumers also benefit from convenience as opposed to the traditional tedious process of calling out their credit card information. Apps open up consumers to trying new foods and restaurants. The downside is that they reduce human-to-human contact.

Market Research can identify opportunities to recruit delivery personal, boost customers and manage demand and supply. Additionally, app companies find that Usability Research (UX) can be particularly helpful in achieving customer satisfaction as well as increasing sales conversions.

Partnering with a food delivery company has several advantages. It allows restaurateurs to expand their market, giving them access to the entire city. This market is way more significant than the few blocks surrounding their establishment. It also enables them to gain new customers. Once a dominant food delivery app features the restaurant, it increases its visibility.

Restaurateurs are turning to food delivery as a method to boost declining traffic. Food delivery apps are a secret weapon in the fight to induce more patrons to eat out. Food delivery sales have grown in recent years, while restaurant traffic has flatlined.

Important and futuristic food and beverages research areas are:

Convenience and frozen food

Fruits and vegetables are picked at peak ripeness and often frozen within hours, locking in nutrients and flavour. Generally, frozen foods retain their vitamins and minerals and there is no change to the carbohydrate, protein or fat content. In some cases, frozen foods have more vitamins and minerals compared to fresh because fresh foods lose vitamins and minerals over time while freezing preserves nutrients.

Food Ingredients

Food ingredients can be separated into two main segments: speciality food ingredients and bulk ingredients. Most ingredients can also be segmented into preservatives, sweeteners, colour additives, flavours and spices, flavours enhancers, fat replacers, nutrients, emulsifiers, acidulants and leavening agents. Because consumers can be picky and demand preference in flavours and taste, different ingredients have become more popular among food manufacturers and restaurants. Key drivers for change in the ingredients market include: global population growth, demographics, healthcare concerns, government regulations, and global demand for packaged food and beverages.

Food Processing and Equipment

The global food processing equipment market size was valued at USD 55.50 billion in 2020 and is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.1% from 2021 to 2028. Population expansion, coupled with the rising per capita disposable income, is expected to result in an increased demand for meat and poultry and greater consumption of processed products, thus boosting the market growth over the forecast period. These systems are widely utilized across numerous applications, such as bakery and confectionery, meat, seafood and poultry, dairy, and grains, owing to their inherent advantageous characteristics, such as quality control, durability, hygiene, and preservation.
