"The rise of shared mobility solutions in Southeast Asia has accelerated the expansion of on-demand food delivery services. Backed by large customer bases and user dependence, operators' super apps are enabling value chain integration," said Ming Lih Chan, Industry Analyst, Mobility at Frost & Sullivan. "Additionally, major on-demand service operators are expected to broaden their product portfolios in the next one to three years, including on-demand deliveries of food and beverage, fresh foods and kitchen supplies, groceries, pharmaceutical products, and so on."

Chan added: "The developments of on-demand food delivery services will lead to the optimization of merchants, including supply chain management and time management, which vary according to the food delivery types such as instant, scheduled, and deferred. In addition, with the rapid advancement of technology and the popularization of mobile internet, adoption of digital payment solutions as opposed to cash on delivery will also increase."

To tap into the growth prospects, on-demand food delivery operators should:

• Evaluate the potential integration of different industries, especially those related to mobility, including strategic partnerships, mergers, and acquisitions.
• Improve the instant food delivery market and strengthen their competitiveness by broadening their product portfolios and application of new technologies.
• Explore partnerships with merchants, especially food and beverage restaurants and catering services, to enrich product choices for users.
