In Brazil, food delivery continues to expand rapidly: the sector is projected to generate $21.18 billion by the end of 2025, growing at an annual rate of approximately 7% until 2029, when it could reach $27.81 billion.
This phenomenon reflects a shift in consumption habits: Brazilians, especially Generation Z, increasingly value the convenience offered by delivery apps, from meals to daily groceries, driven by intense digitalization and culinary diversification.
The franchise sector is keeping pace with vigor: according to ABF, franchising is expected to grow between 8% and 10% in 2025, precisely fueled by agile, digitized, and adaptable business models.

The rise of delivery in Brazil is not just a reflection of consumer behavior but also a window of opportunity for networks that know how to adapt. Franchises that operate with logistical efficiency, transport-friendly menus, and digitalized service can better serve customers and scale more consistently. In 2025, delivery has ceased to be a complementary channel and become a core part of growth strategies—and the most prepared franchises are already reaping the benefits of this transformation.
