A TRADITIONNAL MARKET TO DISRUPT
In 2015, the food generated more than $17 trillion which is 20% of the
world GDP. For the last decade, the food market is moving toward a
utilization of technology, especially smartphones. Indeed, 61% of the 15-
35 year category use the Internet to buy groceries and to find, book and
review restaurants. With the development of the on-demand economy,
food delivering startups represent a growing market for the coming years.
