Switzerland, a country famous for its chocolate, cheese, and watches, is also a hub for the restaurant delivery market.
Customer preferences: Swiss consumers are known for their high standards and expectations when it comes to food quality and service. Therefore, they prefer to order food from restaurants that offer high-quality cuisine and timely delivery services. The Swiss market is also highly diverse, with a wide range of cuisines available to choose from, including traditional Swiss dishes, Italian, Asian, and Middle Eastern cuisines.
Trends in the market: The restaurant delivery market in Switzerland has witnessed significant growth in recent years, with the COVID-19 pandemic further accelerating the trend. The convenience of ordering food online, coupled with the closure of restaurants during the pandemic, has led to a surge in demand for restaurant delivery services. This has led to an increase in the number of food delivery platforms, such as Uber Eats, Just Eat, and Deliveroo, operating in the country.
Local special circumstances: Switzerland's unique geography and topography, with its mountains and lakes, have led to challenges in the restaurant delivery market. The delivery of food to remote areas can be difficult and time-consuming, leading to higher delivery costs. Additionally, Switzerland's strict regulations regarding the use of electric bikes for food delivery have also affected the market, with some platforms having to switch to traditional bikes or scooters.
Underlying macroeconomic factors: Switzerland's high standard of living and disposable income levels have contributed to the growth of the restaurant delivery market. Additionally, the country's tourism industry has also played a significant role in the market's development, with tourists contributing to the demand for food delivery services. The country's stable economy and political environment have also attracted investment from international food delivery platforms, further driving the market's growth.
