eServices report: online food delivery
The demand for online food delivery services has never been higher. The market already had enormous growth potential, but the lockdown of people due to the coronavirus has led to a greater increase in online food orders. Restaurants are expanding their delivery options, and simpler ordering systems offer substantial benefits to consumers. The online food delivery market is now forecast to generate revenues of around 136 billion U.S. dollars in 2020.
In recent years, platform-to-consumer delivery services have disrupted the sector, providing competition to the more traditional method of restaurant-to-consumer delivery. As companies such as Just Eat and Domino’s Pizza continue to fight for a greater share of the market, the business strategies they adopt could make or break their future. Mergers and acquisitions are playing a crucial role in accelerating growth and strengthening market position.
eServices: event tickets
The digital transformation has revolutionized how tickets are bought and sold. People are no longer required to queue at a ticket office or made to wait for orders placed over the phone. Providers like Live Nation and Eventim have enjoyed rapid growth through the online sale of tickets to music, sport, and movie events. However, government bans on large gatherings due to the coronavirus have severely impacted the events industry, and ticket companies are facing an uncertain future.
