MANILA, Philippines – Consumers in the Philippines and across Southeast Asia now see food and grocery deliveries as part of their life, according to the latest Grab Food and Grocery Trends report.
While deliveries served as a necessity during pandemic lockdowns, demand for the services never dropped even after restrictions eased. Grab reported that as many as 7 in 10 consumers now see deliveries as a permanent part of their post-pandemic life.
“The report clearly indicates how the pandemic has paved the way for the paradigm shift in the food and delivery service industry, especially here in the Philippines,” said Anton Bautista, Grab Philippines head of deliveries and business development.
“Deliveries continue to be a prominent part of consumers’ lives. In fact, consumers are shifting more and more of their food journey online, which presents additional opportunities for brands to reach and engage consumers online,” said Sean Goh, regional head of mobility and deliveries.
