Foodtech or food technology refers to the use of advanced technology for food processing and packaging to maintain quality foods and distribute them to consumers. The advancement in food technology helps in the rapid growth of e-commerce food services, which results in the massive expansion of the consumer base for several food chain restaurants. Consumers also easily connect with food service providers through mobile apps or websites on their smart devices and order their favorite food items. A consumer can easily access various online food ordering mobile apps such as Zomato, Swiggy, FoodPanda, DoorDash, Grubhub, and UberEats. Thus, food tech offers several benefits such as saving time and high convenience for ordering foods at consumers’ fingertips. Rapid transformation in the online food delivery systems such as increasing consumers’ preference for buying grocery, meat, and vegetables online is made possible due to the wide development of mobile banking services and other online payment facilities.
The COVID-19 pandemic outbreak had accelerated the expansion of the global foodtech market owing to the surge in demand for online food delivery products. The pandemic had drastically transformed the overall consumer behavior and their lifestyle, which resulted in the rapid growth of online retail platforms worldwide.

The massive expansion of the online shopping platforms had been largely influenced by the pandemic, which resulted in robust market growth.
