Online delivery services: Online instead of stores? Food delivery services are gearing up
Food is increasingly being ordered online. Amazon and Rewe are now focusing on particularly fast deliveries - what's behind the new offensive?
Amazon has started same-day delivery of fresh groceries in Cologne, Frankfurt, and Munich for its Prime members, with plans to expand to more cities. The service is free for Prime members with orders over €29, and a €3.99 fee applies for smaller orders. Rewe has also launched a "Sofort-Lieferung" service, delivering groceries within an hour through platforms like Uber Eats, Wolt, and Lieferando in several cities.
The online grocery market grew by 11.8% last year, while traditional stores saw a 2.2% increase, according to market research firm NIQ.
