The world is experiencing a digital shift, with everyday chores and activities being completed with the help of apps and online platforms.
In our busy day-to-day lives, we’re finding that what used to take getting into a car and driving to a store can now be ordered and paid for through an app with the swipe of a finger. This is especially true in the grocery and food industries.
Over the past several years, we’ve seen the rise of options like buy online, pick-up in-store (BOPIS), meal kits, and replacement shopper services that deliver meals and groceries right to our doorsteps.
To help illustrate this new digital and delivery-based landscape, PayPal commissioned the Maru Group to conduct a study focused on understanding consumer trends in the space.
The study included 1,000 participants in the United States who were household decision makers and who ordered groceries, meal kits and/or food delivery online. It provides fresh insights into consumer behaviors and how grocery and food delivery enterprises may be able to turn challenges into opportunities:
As today’s shoppers continue on their digital journey in their daily lives, companies must reach them where they are in the digital world and cater to their preferences. There’s no doubt that digital options are gaining popularity and creating opportunities for the food and grocery sector to deliver directly to their customers.
Change is never easy – knowing what to invest in, and when, can be challenging when balancing immediate needs and long-term success. As the industry itself digitally upskills and evolves, grocers need commerce solutions that scale, grow, and evolve with their business. Offering different and preferred payment options can help reduce cart abandonment and drive customer conversion, meaning more happy shoppers using online grocery and food delivery services.
