Hong Kong’s two major food delivery services have said they are optimistic the expansion of the market would continue, despite a gradual return to normality from coronavirus restrictions because Covid-19 had changed people’s dining habits.

Foodpanda said on Monday it had 60% more active customers than it did in early 2020, and rival Deliveroo added it had found that Hongkongers spent 22% more on their orders than before the pandemic struck.
