At the end of the year, the platforms that provide services in Ecuador make their balance sheets and analyzes of their activity during 2022. One of them is ordersnow who made a trend report of the most requested between January and December and prepared a top 5 in which they are:

1. Burgers
2. Chicken
3. Fish soup with onions
4. Chinese Food

In categories, it was pets and pharmacies that registered an increase of more than 150%. The soccer World Cup also generated exponential growth in orders from Ecuadorians. Then it reported a growth of approximately 25% throughout the country.

The night was when the most orders were received, between 7:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. More than 14 million kilometers were traveled throughout the year in delivery of orders. The longest distance traveled was 42 kilometers and the shortest only 100 meters.

The use of this service is “an essential part of daily life. This has led us to have a growth of more than 85%”, indicated Alejandro Figari, Managing Director of PedidosYa Ecuador. At a general level, “we closed 2022 with a regional growth of more than 45% and with quick commerce doubling its billing vs. 2021. This trend of making purchases of immediate need to receive them in minutes was very strongly consolidated in 2022 and will undoubtedly continue to grow in the coming years. The quick commerce, which is the ability to order a product and receive it in less than an hour, is here to stay and we aim for a third of the orders we receive in Latin America by 2030 to be from quick commerce”, commented Esteban Gutiérrez, CEO of PedidosYa.
