Grocery-in-minutes company Getir's $1.2 billion deal to buy rival Gorillas is an important step toward consolidation in Europe's food delivery market, where companies are struggling amid a post-COVID slowdown.
QUICK COMMERCEGetir was valued at around $8.8 billion in Friday's deal, about seven times more than Gorillas due to its strong position in Turkey where it is based, analysts said.Other consolidators are Berlin-based Flink and Philadelphia-based GoPuff, which operates in the United States and Europe.
"We closed down a few hubs that were not profitable and we definitely put aside any kind of bigger expansion plans," amid the downturn, Radke said. Venture capital firms invested $125 million in the sector in two deals in 2022, down from $1.3 billion in thirteen deals in 2021, based on PitchBook data.
