Current Market Landscape

Our Takeaway Germany Report shows that home delivery/takeaway continues to grow following restaurants’ increased engagement with this revenue stream during the pandemic. In 2022, more people are using takeaway/delivery than a year ago, however some are cutting back after the reopening of dine-in restaurants.

Inflation, supply chain issues and exploding energy costs are driving price hikes in 2022. While the takeaway/home delivery market predominantly relies on more-affluent consumers, price increases present a major threat, making takeaway food less appealing to many Germans. To tackle inflationary pressure and labour shortages, home delivery/takeaways can capitalise on hybrid working, or in-person collection to maintain momentum.

Home Delivery Consumption Germany Market Share and Key Industry Trends

As consumers settle into post-pandemic lifestyles and the economy is set to stabilise, demand for takeaway and home delivery will further increase. Following the establishment of delivery/takeaway as a key part of the foodservice industry, consumers will look to explore more distribution channels, such as food trucks, temperature-controlled lockers or subscription services.

Takeaway/home delivery services, however, have the potential to uphold the foodservice market once again as seen during COVID-19 restrictions. Consumers might trade restaurant visits for cheaper takeaway alternatives, which brands can encourage with collection discounts.

  • 64% of takeaway/home delivery users agree that price increases would make home delivery/takeout less appealing.
  • 45% of takeaway/home delivery users who work entirely or partly from home are more likely to order lunch.
  • 50% of consumers say they would cut back on dining out or other leisure activities if they were forced to make savings.
  • 48% of takeaway/home delivery users are interested in trying deposit return schemes for reusable containers.

Future Trends in the Takeaway Consumer Market Germany

Our Takeaway Germany market research predicts that development of digital solutions will reshape the industry long-term pushing automated delivery and ordering methods, transparency of food sourcing, and sustainable handling of resources.

Ultimately, takeaway/home delivery services are best equipped to capitalise on the opportunities arising from hybrid working patterns which sifnificantly affect attitudes towards home delivery in Germany. Brands can promote their services as employee perks or invest in time-efficient collection methods, like temperature-controlled lockers.

Trusted by global industry leaders

We have such a great working relationship with Mintel on lots of different levels. As an insight partner, they have helped us to develop our business planning in specific categories as well as supporting our creative process but they’ve also been super helpful with facilitating our events in their inspirational offices near St Paul’s.

They’re an innovative company, with a client-focused team that always delivers.

Abby Carvosso, Group Managing Director, Bauer Media Group

We utilize Mintel Reports, Trends and Comperemedia to mine for insights across the numerous business verticals that Epsilon serves, such as CPG, automotive, telecom, healthcare/pharma, retail and financial services.

By integrating Mintel insight into new business opportunities, we have been able to gain the competitive edge necessary to advance partnerships with global brands and key business players.

For our organization, it’s about depth and breadth. Having one without the other doesn’t enable success in our business.

Virginia Harvey, Secondary Research Manager, Epsilon

There is no question that Mintel is the go-to resource for the best quality market research, but I did not think it was an affordable option for Abacus Marketing to consider. As a small marketing agency, we only work with a few new clients each year.

However, we have a very high-end consultative approach to our work, so we really do need a partner like Mintel to provide the big agency experience we are always aiming to deliver. Our clients come from an incredibly diverse range of industry sectors, so we obviously need access to market research reports from a very wide spectrum of marketplaces – and that is precisely what we got.

Stephen Taylor-Brown, Managing Director, Abacus

Working in a customer-obsessed organization means that data and insights have to be at our fingertips. Mintel’s reports help us support anecdotes with real quantifiable insights. The summary sections (which I really like) helps save time by giving a birds eye view of the content before spending time combing through the pages.

Our business review discussions are strengthened by the relevancy of the reports to help us better understand our customers. In addition, the customer service received from the team (especially in crunch periods) makes the process of understanding customer behavior even better.

Ngozi Ngonadi-Nkwoji, Senior Marketing Manager, Amazon

We use Mintel Reports, mostly for financial services and ecommerce markets, plus a few retail and technology ones.

As a leading payments provider, we value additional insights into consumer behaviour, opinions and trends that are shaping the many different markets we operate in. Mintel is a very good and very quick way for us to obtain those insights.

We use Mintel to get a view on where a particular market is going, which can support us in product development and help us identify opportunities or indeed risks, it is a very useful barometer of a market’s potential.
