Indonesia’s food delivery market posted one of the strongest performances in Southeast Asia in 2025, recording the largest absolute growth in gross merchandise value (GMV) despite currency headwinds, according to a report by Singapore-based research firm Momentum Works. The “Food Delivery Platforms in Southeast Asia 6.0” report shows that Indonesia’s food delivery GMV grew by around 18 percent year-on-year in 2025, broadly in line with regional peers like Malaysia and Vietnam. In absolute terms, Indonesia added about US$1 billion in GMV over the year, the highest increase among the six major Southeast Asian markets covered in the report. The performance came as Southeast Asia’s overall food delivery GMV rose 18 percent to $22.7 billion in 2025, marking an acceleration after growth had dropped to 13 percent in 2024. All six markets, namely Indonesia, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam and the Philippines, recorded double-digit growth. Indonesia remains the region’s largest food delivery market by GMV, accounting for roughly $6.4 billion in 2025, ahead of Thailand and Singapore. While Thailand emerged as the fastest-growing market at 22 percent, driven partly by the government’s “half-half” co-payment scheme, Momentum Works noted that Indonesia’s expansion stood out for its scale rather than headline growth rates.
