DoorDash was once again the most downloaded US food and drink app in 2021, racking up 37.0 million downloads, 5% fewer than in 2020. McDonald’s jumped to second on the list with 24.0 million downloads, 33% more than the year prior. Meanwhile, Uber Eats dropped to third place with 21.0 million downloads.
Beyond the chart: While DoorDash’s downloads were down, its US restaurant sales were up 43.5% last year, on top of nearly 200% growth in 2020, per our estimates. This year, the industry giant will exceed $32 billion in restaurant sales, eating up half of all restaurant delivery intermediary sales in the US.
