Following Uklon and Bolt, the courier service Glovo has also summed up its year.

According to the company, in December 2024, the global number of orders crossed the 1 billion mark — nearly 10 years since the company was founded in Barcelona.

As for Ukraine, this year customers made 30% more orders and ordered 39% more items than last year; the biggest fan of the service was a resident of Lviv, who made 932 orders in 2024 totaling 274 thousand hryvnias, and a record among couriers was set by an employee who traveled 23 thousand kilometers.

The peak of the app’s activity was on March 8, and the most expensive order was placed in Kyiv — for wine delivery costing 25 thousand hryvnias. The largest number of items was ordered from a supermarket in Brovary — 148 units.

The number of orders from restaurants increased by 26% compared to last year. Italian cuisine topped the chart, pushing American to second; the rest of the spots were shared by Asian, Ukrainian, and Middle Eastern cuisines. The favorite dish of Glovo users in Ukraine is a burger, followed by Ukrainian borscht, chicken noodles, shawarma, and Caesar salad.

Ukraine also ranked second after Spain in popularity for the “Pick-up” format for dishes from restaurants, and this year the number of orders for self-pickup increased by 16%. Residents of Kyiv, Lviv, and Dnipro were the biggest fans of this format.

Ukrainians most often shopped for groceries in the app on Sundays, and their favorite hour for such orders was 19:00; the most popular products were bananas, potatoes, cucumbers, tomatoes, and mineral water.
