Digitization of food services is in full force with people showing their preference for online takeaways.

Internet & takeaways: The increasing popularity of mobile apps has allowed the number of third‑party takeaway order platforms to thrive in recent years. Whether they prefer to pick the orders up themselves or have them delivered at their homes, consumers like to place their orders through these third‑party platforms to take advantage of the ease whith which food is delivered. Figures published by the China Internet Network Information Center (CNNIC) reveal that mobile apps’ order volumes reached 340 million during the first six months of 2018, with 43.6% of mobile internet users using these services. In the past, online ordering was mainly the preference of white‑collar workers looking to avoid having to go out for lunch or breakfast when they had to work overtime. Today, with many young people seldom cooking for themselves, eating takeaway food at home has become part of their daily routine.

Focus on nutrition & health: Ordering takeaway food online has become the “new norm” for people living in cities. As a result, consumers are showing more preference for the quality of online deliveries. They are eager to pay more for nutritious and healthy food, and also for tamper‑proof containers. With more people opting for healthy food, many third‑party takeaway platforms are now offering vegetarian meals and more variety in their combinations. This is proving popular with consumers. As one female respondent said: “I choose vegetarian food more often because I don’t have time for exercise. It’s healthier this way.”
