Thailand Food Delivery in 2026: What Restaurant Owners Should Know

Empire Marketing Team, Bangkok7 min readอ่านภาษาไทย

Short answer

Thailand's food delivery market grew from roughly US$4.2 billion GMV in 2024 to roughly US$5.1 billion in 2025, with Grab and LINE MAN now holding roughly 90 percent combined share after Foodpanda's exit in May 2025. For restaurant owners, this means a smaller number of platforms matter more than ever, and understanding each one's commission and tools is worth more time than spreading thin across many.

The size of the market

Thailand's food delivery gross merchandise value was roughly US$4.2 billion in 2024 and roughly US$5.1 billion in 2025, according to Momentum Works data reported by the Bangkok Post. That is substantial year-on-year growth in a market that was already one of Southeast Asia's largest for food delivery.

Consolidation around two platforms

Foodpanda exited the Thai market in May 2025. Following that exit, Grab and LINE MAN's combined share rose to roughly 90 percent, up from roughly 86 percent. Separate 2025 data reported by KrAsia puts Grab at roughly 47 percent of GMV share and LINE MAN at roughly 41 percent, with the overall market growing by roughly 22 percent that year. ShopeeFood holds most of the remainder, estimated at roughly 7 to 10 percent.

Government support for the sector

Thailand's ไทยช่วยไทยพลัส scheme has included a 60/40 co-payment structure aimed at supporting local spending, reported by Thairath. Programs like this are part of the broader economic backdrop restaurant owners operate in, alongside platform-level dynamics.

What this means for a restaurant owner

With two platforms covering roughly 90 percent of the market, the practical priority for most restaurants is getting GrabFood and LINE MAN listings complete, correctly priced for commission, and actively managed, rather than spreading attention across every available platform. Our guide comparing Grab, LINE MAN, and ShopeeFood goes into this prioritization in more detail.
