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.
