Recommendation

In China today, people are used to getting a variety of food products and services delivered right to their door. The three main contenders racing to “get the food to the door fastest without spilling” are Ele.me, Meituan Waimai and Baidu Waimai. Competition is fierce in the online-to-offline (O2O) food delivery market. These three companies have already eliminated a handful of smaller competitors. Liu Sha, editor of tech media platform Ifanr, forecasts how the war for market share might play out. getAbstract recommends this article to venture capitalists, entrepreneurs and analysts.

Take-Aways

  • Ele.me, Meituan Waimai and Baidu Waimai are China’s top three online-to-offline (O2O) food delivery services, backed by Alibaba, Tencent and Baidu, respectively.
  • Ele.me is the current market leader, but the gap in market share is closing as Ele.me customers wander off to Meituan and Baidu.
  • The three platforms look more and more alike and, as a result of the ongoing price war, no one is profiting.
