Conclusion
That’s all for our collection of DoorDash stats in 2025.
DoorDash has shown strong performance by gaining market share both in the US and internationally (with the recent Wolt acquisition) and maintaining a consistent revenue growth track record.
However, the meal delivery sector is highly competitive with the likes of Grubhub and Uber Eats. It will be interesting to see if DoorDash can sustain its current pace of growth in the future.
