Meal delivery services have become increasingly popular in Malaysia, with more and more consumers opting for the convenience of having meals delivered to their doorstep.
Customer preferences: One reason for the growth of the meal delivery market in Malaysia is the changing lifestyles of consumers. With busy work schedules and a desire for convenience, many consumers are turning to meal delivery services as a way to save time and effort. Additionally, the COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the adoption of meal delivery services as consumers look for ways to avoid crowded restaurants and minimize contact with others.
Trends in the market: The meal delivery market in Malaysia has seen a significant increase in competition, with new players entering the market and existing players expanding their services. This has led to a wider range of options for consumers, including healthy meal options, specialized cuisine, and customizable meal plans. Another trend in the market is the use of technology to improve the ordering and delivery process, such as mobile apps and online ordering platforms.
Local special circumstances: One unique aspect of the meal delivery market in Malaysia is the popularity of street food and hawker stalls. While many consumers are turning to meal delivery services for convenience, there is still a large market for traditional street food. As a result, some meal delivery services are incorporating these traditional dishes into their offerings, while others are partnering with hawker stalls to offer delivery services for their customers.
Underlying macroeconomic factors: The growth of the meal delivery market in Malaysia is also influenced by macroeconomic factors such as rising urbanization and increasing disposable income. As more consumers move to urban areas and have higher disposable income, they are more likely to use meal delivery services as a convenient and time-saving option. Additionally, the COVID-19 pandemic has led to an increase in online shopping and delivery services, including meal delivery, as consumers look for ways to minimize contact with others.

The user metrics show the number of customers who have made at least one online purchase within the past 12 months.Modeling approach / Market size:
Market sizes are determined through a bottom-up approach, building on predefined factors for each market. As a basis for evaluating markets, we use annual financial reports of the market-leading companies, third-party studies and reports, as well as survey results from our primary research (e.g., the Statista Global Consumer Survey). In addition, we use relevant key market indicators and data from country-specific associations, such as GDP, GDP per capita, and internet connection speed. This data helps us estimate the market size for each country individually.Forecasts:
In our forecasts, we apply diverse forecasting techniques. The selection of forecasting techniques is based on the behavior of the relevant market. For example, the S-curve function and exponential trend smoothing. The main drivers are internet users, urban population, usage of key players, and attitudes toward online services.Additional notes:
The market is updated twice a year in case market dynamics change. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war are considered at a country-specific level. GCS data is reweighted for representativeness.Mon - Fri, 9am - 6pm (EST)
