There’s a new rivalry to watch in Bangladesh’s online food delivery market, which is estimated at $1.75 billion and processes over 75,000 daily orders. Foodpanda is the long-time market leader, but now has a serious local challenger in Foodi. Here’s how they stack up.
Coverage & Reach
Foodpanda is present in the major cities of Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, Rajshahi, Khulna, Rangpur, Barisal and beyond with the help of its global Delivery Hero infrastructure. Foodi, a unit of the US-Bangla Group, is present in 27 districts, makes around one million deliveries in a month and has over 10,000 registered riders. The district-level expansion of Foodi outside Dhaka is a real boon for the consumers.
Market Position
Foodpanda is now somewhere between 50-60% of the market share in Bangladesh. Foodi is second with about 30%, mainly by conquering regional zones like Rajshahi and Khulna, where Foodpanda’s dominance is not as clear-cut.
special features
Foodi was launched in 2024 as a sister concern of the US-Bangla Group with a unique “Food Rescue” feature, where users can repurchase unfulfilled orders at discounted prices, reducing food waste while saving customers money. This feature helped save food worth over Tk1.5 crore in just seven months in 2025. Foodpanda responds with a grocery delivery integration and a wider restaurant network with all of the major international franchises.

Pricing Method
Foodi’s growth strategy has been built on honest pricing, 100% locally developed technology and non-disruptive ad revenue — a deliberate contrast to discount-heavy models that burnt out earlier competitors. Foodpanda focuses its competition on volume promotions, bKash cashback offers and loyalty deals.
Conclusions
Foodpanda remains the safer bet for the most restaurant options and grocery delivery in one app in 2026. But for consumers in the regions — or anyone who wants to support a local platform with truly innovative features — Foodi is no longer the underdog. It’s a real alternative.”
Summary: Foodpanda leads Bangladesh’s food delivery market with a 50-60% share, but homegrown Foodi is closing fast with 30% share across 27 districts. Here is how the two compare on value, coverage, and features in 2026.
