Deliveroo UK Order Volume: Our 195M Estimate, Month by Month

How many orders does Deliveroo generate in the UK? Our estimate is 195.4 million between September 2025 and August 2026, with 17.1 million in August alone.

At Getplace, we used consumer receipt data and statistical modelling to estimate that volume. These are our estimates, not official Deliveroo figures.

If you work at a delivery platform, you know your own order numbers. Getting the same view of a competitor is harder.

Around 16.3 million estimated orders a month

Our twelve-month estimate works out to roughly 16.3 million UK orders per month. May 2026 has the highest monthly estimate in the period, at 17.8 million. August stands at 17.1 million.

Here is the monthly breakdown from our published research:

Source: Getplace. Monthly estimates are rounded to 0.1 million. They add up to 195.5 million, while the separately published total is 195.4 million. That small difference is consistent with rounding.

The release does not confirm that every month was estimated on a comparable basis, so the differences are not yet evidence of changes in Deliveroo's business.

May and June look closer when we count the days

May's estimate is 17.8 million orders. June's is 17.1 million. At first glance, June looks like a quieter month.

But May has 31 days. June has 30.

Dividing each monthly estimate by its number of days gives us a different view:

On this calculation, the gap becomes much smaller. June has fewer estimated orders in total, but the average per day is close to May's.

These are averages calculated from rounded estimates, not a count of what happened on each day. They do not account for holidays or the mix of weekdays and weekends.

A team looking only at the totals might ask why June fell behind. The daily averages suggest a more useful question: how much of that gap is simply one fewer calendar day?

More orders and more market share are different stories

An order estimate helps answer how large a platform's business may be. It does not, by itself, tell us whether that platform is winning share.

A platform can receive more orders and still lose market share if its competitors grow faster. Equally, it can gain share in a shrinking market without adding orders.

This Deliveroo research does not include a total for all UK platforms, so it cannot tell us Deliveroo's share of UK orders. That would need estimates covering the same market, dates and types of order for the other platforms too.

Where does the opportunity sit for another platform?

A UK total can tell a platform team something about a competitor's scale. It cannot tell them which city needs attention or which part of the customer offer could be stronger.

That is where the research needs to go deeper. The next commercial question is where the orders are, and what customers can choose in those places.

For example, a platform might want to know whether a competitor offers restaurants it is missing in a particular city. Or whether the same basket costs less at checkout. Those questions connect order research with merchant coverage gaps and delivery fee comparisons.

Those are possible lines of enquiry, not findings from this national series. We have not shown here that restaurant choice, fees or promotions explain Deliveroo's estimated orders.

About the data

The figures come from Getplace's research shared on LinkedIn and Denis Chernobaev's accompanying article. The research uses a consumer receipt panel, meaning a sample of consumer purchase records, and Getplace's statistical models to estimate wider order activity.

The monthly table uses rounded figures from the published chart. The daily averages are additional calculations from those figures.

The public release does not give the panel size, a margin of uncertainty, or full details of which order types are included and how cancellations and refunds are handled. It also does not confirm a consistent basis for comparing months. Those details matter when using the figures for closer comparisons.

These are independent estimates, not official or audited Deliveroo results. Actual figures may differ materially. Getplace is not affiliated with or endorsed by Deliveroo or DoorDash.
