• 20s: Order the most frequently, at about 4.4 times a month.

Market Share: Who’s on Top? 🏆

When it comes to the most popular apps:

• Baedal Minjok (배달의 민족): Still leads the pack with 22.38 million users.

The Big Picture: A Growing Market 📈

After a slight dip post-pandemic, the delivery market is back in full swing. In the past month alone, estimated spending on delivery apps hit a whopping ₩2.28 trillion (over $1.6 billion USD)! 🤯

According to Statistics Korea, online food service transactions (i.e., food delivery) totaled ₩36.9891 trillion in the last year, a 14.3% increase from the previous year. We saw massive growth during the pandemic (2020-2022) as people opted for delivery over dining out. It looks like those habits are sticking around!
