India's Online Food Delivery Market Projected to Grow Rapidly Through 2030

India's online food delivery market is projected to grow from USD 9.1 billion in 2024 to nearly USD 27 billion by 2030, with a 19% CAGR driven by increased order frequency, expanding Tier-2 city adoption, and rising average order values. The broader food services sector has grown from Rs 4 trillion in FY20 to Rs 7 trillion in FY25 and is expected to reach Rs 11-12 trillion by FY30. Despite low penetration compared to global peers, structural shifts like urbanisation and changing household dynamics are boosting demand. The organised segment's market share is rising, supported by branded chains and cloud kitchens, with significant growth potential due to a supply gap in restaurant penetration per capita.
