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).

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
