Understanding Europe's Delivery Platforms: What You Need to Know in 2025
Europe isn't just a high-volume food delivery market—it's a patchwork of platforms, regulations, consumer habits, and digital maturity levels. From Wolt in Finland to Glovo in Spain, the continent is home to some of the most diverse and competitive delivery ecosystems in the world.
Here's a breakdown of the landscape—and how our platform helps you make sense of it.
For companies looking to expand their restaurant chains, build food-tech products, or even enter the infrastructure or investment space, understanding Europe's delivery platforms is critical.
🌐 The European Delivery Spectrum
🚚 Platform Diversity
Europe has no single dominant delivery platform. Instead, different countries are led by distinct players:
- •Wolt being a market leader in Finland, Wolt covers a substantial part of European food delivery world, operating in more than 150 cities
- •Just Eat (and Takeaway.com brands like Thuisbezorgd and Lieferando) in the UK, Netherlands, Germany, and Austria
- •Glovo in Spain, Portugal and Eastern Europe
- •Foodora in Sweden, Norway, Czechia, Finland, and others
- •Uber Eats operating in numerous European cities across countries like Spain, France, Germany, the UK, and Portugal
- •Bolt Food, as a part of the Bolt mobility super-app, provides delivery in Estonia, Portugal, Czechia and other hubs accross Europe
Each platform offers unique opportunities and challenges for businesses: from delivery fees and commission structures to data access and customer reach.
🍽️ European Market Realities
- •High Fragmentation: No two European markets behave the same. Consumer spending in Milan is very different from Gothenburg or Bucharest.
- •Regulatory Differences: Data protection (GDPR), employment laws, and local trading licenses impact platform expansion and business partnerships.
- •Cross-Channel Integration: More restaurants combine dine-in, delivery, takeaway, and grocery services—making consistent pricing and branding critical.
- •Multi-Vertical Growth: Top platforms like Glovo aren't only about meals—they deliver groceries, pharma, retail, and more.
Understanding this dynamic environment requires not just data—but data that is clean, structured, and comparable across markets.
🔍 Why This Matters
If you're a stakeholder in the delivery industry, you need to answer questions like:
- •Which platforms are winning market share in specific regions?
- •How does pricing differ between Denmark, Slovakia, and the UK?
- •Which cuisines are over- or under-represented in different cities?
- •What are the most performing restaurants across all platforms?
- •How quickly does a new market player scale into cities?
We provide the multi-platform, cross-country data that makes answering these questions not just possible—but fast.
