In 2023, DoorDash was the most downloaded online food delivery and takeout app in the United States, overtaking competitors like Uber Eats by a significant margin. While DoorDash app was downloaded over 21 million times by U.S. users in 2023, Uber Eats trailed behind with 11.2 million downloads.
Doordash: undisputed market leader
Founded in 2013 in Palo Alto, California, it took DoorDash less than a decade to become the biggest food delivery operator in the United States. As of January 2024, DoorDash controlled two-thirds of the online meal delivery market in the country, leaving its main competitor Uber Eats with a market share of 23 percent. With more than eight billion U.S. dollars in revenues in 2023, DoorDash was the undisputed U.S. market leader.
From hyperlocal to global
While the company was initially focused on its home market, things began to change since it expanded its operations overseas. In 2022, DoorDash featured among the most downloaded food delivery apps in Germany and the United Kingdom. That same year, the company announced its acquisition of Helsinki-based Wolt, an important player in the European food delivery market. Behind Zomato, Uber Eats, and Swiggy, DoorDash featured as the fourth most downloaded food delivery and takeout app worldwide in 2023.
