Deliveroo has reported a robust start to 2025, with revenue in the UK and Ireland rising by 7% year-on-year to £327 million in the first quarter. The food delivery giant also revealed a 7% increase in order volumes across the region, reaching 72.6 million—up from 5% growth in the final quarter of 2024—suggesting growing demand and consumer confidence in takeaway services.
Gross Transaction Value (GTV) in the UK and Ireland climbed 9% year-on-year, matching the growth seen in the previous quarter. GTV per order also nudged up 2% to £27.60, in constant currency. Deliveroo confirmed that both GTV and orders are growing ahead of the overall market.
Internationally, the company also saw solid performance, with GTV up 9% and orders growing by 7% to 30 million. Strong growth in the UAE and Italy was partially offset by continued softness in the French market.
Group-wide, Deliveroo’s total revenue grew 8% year-on-year to £518 million. However, the company’s revenue take rate (percentage of GTV) declined slightly compared to last year but remained steady quarter-on-quarter. This was attributed to continued investments in improving the customer value proposition (CVP), which the company says are paying off.
Will Shu, founder and CEO of Deliveroo, said:
“I am really pleased with our strong start to the year, marked by a 9% year-on-year increase in GTV and 7% growth in orders. This represents a further acceleration from the fourth quarter. We made good strides in both the UK and Ireland and internationally, and this improvement is a reflection of our relentless focus on enhancing our CVP.”
Deliveroo reiterated its full-year guidance, with GTV growth expected to remain in the high single digits, and adjusted EBITDA forecast to land between £170 million and £190 million.
