Chart of the Day: Grab food delivery outperformed ASEAN peers in GMW growth

It sustained growth consecutively in the past three years.

Amongst its Southeast Asian food delivery peers, Grab was the only major player that sustained gross merchandise value (GMV) growth consecutively in the past three years.

This chart from Momentum Asia’s 2023 study also showed that the Singapore-owned firm (GMV = $11.5b, US$8.8b) has the best net cash position compared to its competitors, Foodpanda (GMV = $4.08b, US$3.1b), Gojek (GMV = $2.6b, US$2b), and Shopeefood (GMV = $1.1b, US$900m).

Grab posted $7.3b (US$5.6b) net cash liquidity in the first half of 2022, Foodpanda, whose parent company is delivery hero, was down $3.1b (US$2.4b), Gojek (parent company: Goto), posted $3.1b (US$2.4b), SEA Limited’s Shopeefood posted $4.744 (US$3.6b) in net cash liquidity.

Southeast Asia’s food delivery sector was unfazed in 2022 with the help of physical store reopenings and demand in profitable investments went up. The sector’s yearly GMV growth in 2022 was at 5% to $21.4b (US$16.3b).

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
