The projections of user penetration for Platform-to-Consumer in the coming four years will more than double from 6.5% to 16.1%. However, the Restaurant-to-Consumer user penetration will still lead at 19.4% in 2024 from 14.6% in 2020. This data however, is based on studies made before the Corona Pandemic.
