Foodpanda reveals Singaporeans are finally saying goodbye to fast food
Foodpanda has undertaken a massive study – and they’ve just revealed Singaporeans’ eating habits & surprising shifts in food choices.
It’s no surprise our nation is made up of happy eaters, and with the abundance of options available to us thanks to the food delivery phenomena that has swept the nation, it’s no surprise that our eating habits have started to change. Foodpanda Singapore has released the results from their Food Delivery Report 2017 and the findings will intrigue you.
Singaporeans moving away from fast food
According to the study, consumer eating behaviour has changed noticeably – customers seem to be ditching fast food in favour of healthier options such as salads, soups and vegetarian dishes. With this increase, healthy food currently makes up nearly 25% of all food orders in 2016/2017, in contrast to just 12% of customers ordering fast food options.
Halal dishes remain most-ordered
Halal dishes make up nearly one-third of all orders – a 57% rise from the previous year. This increase might be attributed to Foodpanda adopting dedicated bags with “Halal” and “Non-Halal” labels in 2016.
Which cuisines are gaining popularity?
European food orders jumped from 19% to 26% of all orders, while Korean food orders have seen a remarkable rise of 40% this year.
Singapore’s ‘hungriest neighbourhood’
Surprisingly, those living in the North of Singapore (Hougang and Sengkang) are ordering the most, with the sector making up 30% of all orders.
This study definitely highlights some interesting trends and all these results reinforce the fact that we Singaporeans are now well on our way to making the food delivery experience a part of our daily lives.
